Inn Break
Pat Cummins is handed over the trophy and he celebrates the victory along with his teammates. Right then! That is it from this exuberant Test series! Australia has all the momentum as we now move to white-ball cricket. The three-match ODI series will begin on Tuesday, 29th March with the first ball to be bowled at 3:30 pm IST (10:00 am GMT). But as usual, the build-up will begin much earlier. Do join us for the same. Till then, it is goodbye from this side.
Pat Cummins, the skipper of Australia is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for picking up a total of 8 wickets in the Test match. He says that it was fantastic the way they batted in the first innings and put themselves ahead in the game, and he thought 350 was a good enough target on this wicket. Mentions that the initial wickets were tough to get but once the ball was old and it started reversing it got better to take wickets. Adds that he is really happy with everyone's performance, and he is happy for Swepson as well, who was a key bowler for them. Concludes by saying that they have been well received in Pakistan and it has been a wonderful experience.
Babar Azam, the skipper of Pakistan, says that it was a great series. Adds that his side gave a good fight tthroughout the series but weren't good enough in the last two sessions on Day 5 of the third Test. Tells that they lost back-to-back wickets in the second session and that cost them. Mentions that they showed great character in the first two Tests but failed to get over the line in Lahore. He applauds the Australian team for the win and also thanks them for coming over to Pakistan after 24 years.
Usman Khawaja is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES for scoring 496 runs across three Tests! He says that they had a lot of fun playing in Pakistan, and he thanks all the Pakistani fans for showing all the support. He says that they have come a long way to play in Pakistan and it was fun. Mentions that they had a target of 350 in mind, as it was tough once the ball started reversing a bit and was confident of his side taking 10 wickets in four sessions. Concludes by saying that he felt that hundred in the last innings was one of the hardest hundreds he has scored.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Pakistan conceded 391 runs with the ball in the first innings but their batters got them off to a great start as well. Abdullah Shafique, Azhar Ali and Babar Azam made some vital contributions but they completely fell apart when Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc had their tail up with a relatively old ball. They lost wickets in quick succession and conceded a lead of 123 runs in the first innings. In the end, they were set a target of 351 and they did start well on Day 4, thanks to their openers, Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq. However, apart from Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq, none of their batters managed to get in and score big and that cost them. Mohammad Rizwan didn't review when he was adjudged LBW and had he sent it upstairs, things could have been different for Pakistan. But having said that, Australia was just too good for Pakistan in this Test and they deserved to win this Test as well as the series.
Australia have dominated this Test match and they have justified their decision of declaring much earlier on Day 4. It was a combined effort from their batting department which set the tone for them in the first innings. Although, they were under the pump with the ball in the first innings, as Pakistan was cruising along at 248/3. But the duo of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins came roaring back and ensured that Australia get a handy lead in the first innings. Pakistan lost 7 wickets for just 20 runs and that proved to be the turning point in this Test. The Aussies piled on more runs with the bat in the second innings and it was Usman Khawaja who brought up his second century of the Test series. Australia set a target of 351 for Pakistan and their bowlers gave it their all on Day 5. The GOAT, Nathan Lyon grabbed a five-fer, which also included the prized scalp of Babar Azam. It was Pat Cummins who wrapped things up for his side and he finished with three wickets to his name.
WOW! What an end to this enthralling Test series. Australia are touring Pakistan after 24 long years, and they won the Benaud-Qadir Trophy 1-0. After a couple of draws at Rawalpindi and Karachi, Australia has managed to come out on top in Lahore. They have completely outclassed the hosts and the No.1 ranked Test side thoroughly deserves to win this three-match series. Pakistan would be proud of the way they played throughout the series but disappointed at the end of this game, as their openers toiled hard on Day 4 but they never looked like chasing down the target after losing Abdullah Shafique early on in the first session on Day 5.

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! AUSTRALIA HAVE WON IN PAKISTAN! Pat Cummins brings himself into the attack and finishes things off in style! We finally have a result after 15 hard days of intense Test cricket. Coming to the ball - This was on a length, around middle, a straight delivery. Naseem Shah stays in the crease and looks to defend this but he misses and the ball goes on to shatter the stumps. Australia win by 115 runs!

Excellent effort from the GOAT and Pakistan lose their ninth wicket now. Lyon tosses it up, around off. Shaheen Afridi kneels and looks to slog-sweep it way over the deep square leg region. He miscues it to the left of Swepson in the deep who runs to his left, bends low and takes a really good catch. Naseem Shah is the last batter in.

Nathan Lyon To Hasan Ali OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Oh, dear! Hasan Ali gets deceived by the turn and bounce here and that brings about his downfall of him. Lyon gets his man and Pakistan lose another wicket, their eighth to be precise. Lyon tosses this one up, well outside off. Hasan Ali looks to slog-sweep but he mistimes it completely and is a bit too early into his shot. He misses, the ball spins sharply and hits Hasan's helmet. It then ricochets off his glove and disturbs the stumps. Australia are just 2 wickets away from a series win. Shaheen Afridi walks out to bat now.

We are back for the final session of this Test series. The players have made their way out to the middle. Babar Azam and Sajid Khan will resume their innings. Mitchell Starc will start proceedings with the ball.
... Day 5, Session 3 ...
The equation is quite simple, Australia need 5 wickets to win this game and clinch the series, while Pakistan need 161 runs from 37 overs. A win here for Pakistan seems highly unlikely but they will come out and try to save this Test. An exciting final session coming up, which is set to begin at 3:50 pm IST (10:20 am GMT). Stay tuned!
Nathan Lyon began the proceedings by grabbing the big wicket of Imam-ul-Haq. Pat Cummins followed it up and struck twice in two overs and sent back Fawad Alam and Mohammad Rizwan. Reverse-swing is doing the trick for the Aussies and with the new ball now due, it will be interesting to see whether the Aussies opt for it straightaway. Pakistan, on the flip side are in a spot of bother. Babar Azam is leading by example, but there is no support whatsoever from the other end. Although, Babar was also given a life when Travis Head dropped a catch, just at the stroke of Tea.
Three big wickets in the session and just 54 runs were given away, it's safe to say that the second session belonged to the visitors. Pakistan will be under pressure now since Babar Azam is probably their last recognized batter and they have an uphill task ahead of them.

A huge appeal for a catch, but the umpire is unmoved. A loopy ball, full, spinning in. Babar Azam leans to block this but the ball goes past his inside edge and hits his pad and lobs over the keeper's head. Steven Smith from first slip, dives to his left and takes a good catch. They decide not to go for the review in the end. The replays show that the ball was very close to Babar's glove and there was a slight murmer on the UltraEdge as the ball passed the glove. Had Australia reviewed this, it would have been curtains for Babar Azam.

Pat Cummins To Mohammad Rizwan OUT!
OUT! LBW! That is a peach of a delivery from the Aussie skipper and Mohammad Rizwan had absolutely no answers to that one. Huge, huge moment in this Test, and the Australians are pumped! Cummins runs in and serves a pinpoint yorker that angles in late. Rizwan is a bit late to react and he gets hit on his toe. Cummins appeals and the umpire agrees. Rizwan has a chat with his skipper but he doesn't opt for a review, he takes the long walk back to the pavilion. Although, the Ball Tracker shows that the impact was well outside off and had Rizwan taken the review he would be still out there in the middle. Nothing going Pakistan's way at the moment.

The ball goes past his outside edge and hits him on the pad. The umpire raises his finger after an appeal for LBW from Australia. Fawad Alam opts for a review.

... Day 5, Session 2 ...
This Test match is evenly poised at the moment with all three results still possible. The second session will give us a fair idea about where this Test match is heading. Do join us for the middle session which begins at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT).
Australia started the session well and it was Cameron Green who struck early by sending back Abdullah Shafique with a peach of a delivery. Starc and Cummins also kept bowling tight lines and lengths and did not allow the batters to free their arms. Lyon spun the ball sharply and he got the prized scalp of Azhar Ali. For Pakistan, Imam-ul-Haq has held one end and he batted well. Although, he will need to bat deep and make sure that he stitches a big partnership along with his skipper. They still need 215 runs to win and they cannot afford to lose wickets heading into the latter stages of this Test match.
Another riveting session of this Test match comes to an end. Australia would be happier of the two sides going into Lunch as they have got those two crucial wickets. Although, Pakistan have managed to score 63 runs from 33 overs in this session and they still have two in-form batters at the crease. The spinners though are getting a lot of turn off the surface and Pakistan's batters will need to be at their very best going ahead.
