Australia Vs Pakistan 3rd Test: The Shan Masood-led Pakistan side are having a torrid time in the tour Down Under. The Asian side have been comprehensively thumped in the first two Tests of the three-match Test series against Australia and were looking for some form of solidarity in the third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground.
However, the former World champions are themselves closing their doors for any positive outcomes from this series as their dismal performances in batting and the imfamous ever-standing issues in fielding have endearingly cost them any glance or sights at victory. Bowling department has somewhat done well in few sessions but the failure of all three departments to click at once have left them reeling at a scare of being whitewashed.
Inspite of the performance adversities, the fun element is in full swinging mode this entire series. Be it the player, the crowd, the commentators, this series has been a cracker of an international bilateral event. One such moment unfolded before the cricketing world's eyes when Pakistan's right-arm pacer Aamir Jamal came to bowl after the drinks break and Marnus Labuschagne was on strike and during his run-up, nothing seemed suspicious or surprising but once he was about to land his foot near the crease, the 27-year old spread his arms and mockingly indicated that he was bowling a dummy ball.
Australia ended their Day 2 at 116/2 after both the openers, David Warner and Usman Khawaja, departed inspite of having a good start to their respective innings. Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will carry the proceedings further for the current World Test champions after Day 2 was halted initially by bad light issues, followed by rain.
