Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test Day 2 Highlights: Rain Forces Early Stumps, Australia Trail By 197

We are back! The umpires are set and so are the players of Australia. It will be Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub to open the innings for Pakistan. Mitchell Starc has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

... THIRD INNINGS ...

Right then, with not much separating the two sides heading into the second innings, it will all come down to how the pitch plays and how the teams combat the difficulty of the second innings. Pakistan will take a lot of confidence with that bowling effort and will hope to do well with the bat now. Australia will know that wickets with the new ball will be key and will have their tail up. Join us as Pakistan's second innings is up next.

The man of the moment, Aamer Jamal is down for a quick chat. Ameer Jamal says he is over the moon and is happy with his performance for his side. He recalls the times when he came to the SCG to watch the matches of Pakistan and is now happy to be here playing for the country. He further talks about the reason for his success in the series and credits the backing he has received from the captain and management. He adds that he backs himself even if he is hit for runs which makes him get those crucial wickets. He finally concludes by talking about his partnership with Hamza that brought Pakistan back into the game.

Right then, that was a fast and furious 20-odd minutes to kick off the final session on Day 3 and amazingly, it is Pakistan who have a slender first-innings lead of 14 runs as Australia have simply self-destructed. Australia have been knocked over on 299 with a deficit of 14 runs. A dramatic collapse and they have lost six wickets in quick succession just before and after the Tea break as they went from being 289/5 to 299 all out. Australia were looking all set to take the lead with Mitchell Marsh on the crease but Aamer Jamal had some other plans and disrupted the Australian party with simply brilliant figures with an impressive 6-fer and wrapped up the Australian tail quickly.

OUT! CAUGHT! That's it, it's all over, Australia have collapsed and have conceded a lead of 14 runs. Aamer Jamal bangs this one short and around off, angling it across the left-hander. Josh Hazlewood hops on the back foot and looks to uppercut it but ends up getting an outside edge. The ball goes quickly to third slip where Agha Salman takes a sharp catch right around his face and Jamal ends up with 6 wickets to his name and makes it 18 wickets in his debut Test series as well. Australia bundled out for 299 runs.

On a good length from around the wicket onto middle and leg, Josh Hazlewood tucks it away in front of mid-wicket.

Josh Hazlewood is the last man in for Australia.

OUT! CAUGHT! There it is, a five-for for Aamer Jamal and his series just keeps on getting better and better. Jamal steams in again and serves it on a good length on off stump, getting it to straighten a bit off the deck. Nathan Lyon gets squared up and jars at it with hard hands. The ball goes off the outside edge and down towards gully where Saud Shakeel leans forward and misses the ball. The ball goes through the hands and onto the boot before Shakeel manages to hang on. Australia going down in a hurry here.

Is that a fair catch? The Pakistani players think so but Nathan Lyon isn't going anywhere. The umpires have a chat and go upstairs. The third umpire checks it from a couple of different angles and we can see that the ball went through the hands of the fielder and onto the boot before the fielder gobbled it up once again. The ball doesn't hit the ground and the decision on the big screen is OUT!

FOUR! Short and wide, there to be put away and Nathan Lyon cuts it off the back foot past point for a boundary.

Beaten! Nice bit of flight and drift on that one as the ball drops in and around the off stump and the grips and turns away with some extra bounce as well. Mitchell Starc leans on to block but is beaten past the outside edge.

Flighted up and angled across the off stump on a fuller length, Nathan Lyon looks to block but gets an outside edge that runs down to third man. They get a single.

Full on middle, driven along the ground down to long on for a run by Starc.

Drops it a bit short now and bowls it around off, Mitchell Starc plays it off the back foot to point.

Quicker delivery onto off and middle, Starc pushes it away to covers.

Flatter one around off stump, Mitchell Starc keeps it out to covers.

Nathan Lyon comes out to the middle at number 10.

OUT! LBW! Oh, that looks dead straight but the umpire turns down the appeal for LBW! Shan Masood takes the review and the only thing that could save Pat Cummins here is an inside edge but hotspot and UltraEdge confirm that there's no bat involved. Aamer Jamal steams in and looks for the inswinging yorker but misses his mark and ends up serving a full toss instead. This one dips and tails back in and beats the inside edge as Cummins looks to block. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Jamal has four wickets to his name, excellent bowling.

A hostile welcome to the crease for Pat Cummins by Aamer Jamal. Jamal, with his tail up, bangs in a short one around off, right on the money. Cummins gets hurried on and hops back but does well to keep his hands down and sway away from the line of the ball.
