25.3: Aamer Jamal to Marnus Labuschagne, EDGED AND FOUR! And the scores are level now! Aamer Jamal bangs in short outside off which further shoots after pitching, Marnus Labuschagne looks to defend it on the up but gets deceived by the extra bounce off the back foot and gets a thick outside edge of his blade. The ball flies past the gully fielder for a boundary.

24.6: Sajid Khan to Steven Smith, FOUR! What a way to begin for Steven Smith. A tossed-up delivery, just outside off, Steven Smith presses forward and leans onto the drive past cover for a boundary. Only 7 runs are needed now for Australia.
- 0
24.5: Sajid Khan to David Warner, OUT! LBW OUT! Sajid Khan finally gets his man and will go down as the last bowler to dismiss David Warner in Test cricket. This is a length delivery down around middle and comes in with the angle. David Warner looks to defend it on the front foot and gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball wears on his back leg. Another loud appeal is turned down by the umpire Michael Gough. The review is taken and the UltraEdge displays no bat is involved on it. The ball is pitching outside off and the impact is in line. The ball is hitting the stumps as the Ball Tracker confirms. The on-field decision is reversed and that's it for David Warner who walks back to a huge round of applause and gets a pat on the back from the opposition players. Warner hugs the incoming batter Steven Smith and a lucky boy in the crowd gets Warner's gloves and helmet, surreal atmosphere.

24.4: Sajid Khan to David Warner, Close but not close enough! Sajid Khan comes from around the stumps and tosses it up full and outside the off stump. David Warner steps down the pitch and looks to go up and over covers but is well beaten by the massive turn away from him. Mohammad Rizwan has to reach for it a bit before dislodging the bails. Rizwan appeal half-heartedly for a stumping and the umpire does go upstairs. The replays show that Warner did just get back in time and he will stay Not Out for the time being.

Aamer Jamal sprays this one on the pads on a back of a length, Marnus Labuschagne stays in the crease and times the glance perfectly towards the deep backward square leg region for a boundary. The fielder from deep mid-wicket chases the ball on the dive to his left but the ball wins the race. Australia four more runs close to the win. This has been a fine knock from Marnus Labuschagne at number 3 and has accompanied David Warner pretty well.

43.1: Nathan Lyon to Hasan Ali, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Nathan Lyon gets his third and it's curtains for Pakistan. Tossed up delivery just outside off, Hasan Ali gets down on his knee for a sweep shot but misses entirely on it as the ball spins sharply into the batter and disrupts the middle stump by sneaking through the gap between the bat and the pad. Pakistan have lost their last three wickets in a hurry and have been bundled up on 115 and have ended with a lead of just 129 runs. There's a huge cheer from the SCG crowd as it's now time for David Warner to walk out in the middle for one last time to bat.

107.6: Aamer Jamal to Pat Cummins, 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.

107.4: Aamer Jamal to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and that is a soft dismissal for 'The Bison'. Aamer Jamal pitches this one up full and around the line of off stump.
