Pakistan was battling to stave off beat in the day-night second Test against Australia on Sunday after being forced to follow on, with Tim Paine’s men needing 7 wickets to clinch the series 2-0. The visitors, who have lost 13 successive Tests in Australia, were in big trouble at 39 for 3 when rain forced an early end, 248 runs behind with 2 days left and their top order decimated.
An irrepressible opener Warner ruined an unbeaten 335 on Saturday while batsman Smith became the fastest man to 7,000 Test runs as Australia took control of the day-night second Test against Pakistan. Captain Paine waved his players back into the pavilion at 589 for 3 ahead of the 2nd day’s dinner break with Warner on the 10th highest Test score ever, also a personal best. The choice to declare deprived him of a crack at Lara’s all-time high 400 not out, but it proved to be the right one with the Australian bowlers quickly tearing through Pakistan’s hapless top order under the Adelaide Oval lights.
Pakistan players are almost on the verge of suffering another embarrassing loss against Australia as they were staggering at 39/3 at stumps on 3rd Day of the 2nd Test. Ponting said he fails to fathom why Pakistan didn’t play Shah who impressed one and all in 1st on the practice game and then on his Test debut.
