I think the declaration is a bit to generous. The ball is not carrying much and pitch is not getting harder to bat on.
I think i would rather be in Pakistans position at present.

Can't see them scoring at three per over all day...on the day five pitch.
Long as Australia don't get rattled if partnerships persist I think they have a good chance of getting to the tail : and once they do that ...
Probably don't want to miss too many chances though .

I think that is definitely a gettable target on this pitch.
At least we'll get an engaging day 5. So thanks Australia for that.

Pakistan looking for a draw?

Two quick wickets went down, so they had to drop anchor. Seems in doing so the match has gotten away from them. 215 in 57 overs is a strong ask...I guess they will abort the chase and take the draw option

Indeed. Looks a tough ask now.

Alam is pretty defensive player too, so now Ul Haq is out, I am guessing the anchor will drop

Ul-Haq now out to Lyons, batpad. Lyon's bowling well.
While they have had some good moments, Aus have not done so well with their referrals this tour. Cummins was better during the Ashes.
Still, he's doing better than Paine did.

The Crab stumbles over 3 of his legs and is trapped in front by the captain. 4 down.

He has had a putrid series, Alam. I feel a bit sorry for him, but I can't feel too sorry, because of his horrible stance. He makes the last couple of years of George Bailey look orthodox.
What was it that Alam and Babar we upset about after the review? It was pretty damned conclusive.

Rizwan goes for a duck.... Australia favourites now. Didnt review, but if he had it might not have been out

Wow. Rizwan gone for a duck. LB, but the ball obviously struck him outside the line. Pakistan are down to the 1 review, and Rizwan did not challenge. A wicket thrown away - basically because of the previous two losing referrals. They weren't prepared to gamble their last.
I wonder if Babar wants to keep the last one for himself? Rizwan stormed by him after their brief conference.
