Australia will play their first Test in Pakistan for 24 years under heavy security when their three-match series begins in Rawalpindi on Friday. Here are five memorable past Tests between the two nations as they renew a rivalry which stretches back over 66 years: 1. The first ever encounter between Pakistan and Australia saw just 95 runs scored on the first day as 12 wickets fell on a matting pitch -- still the least scored in a full day's play in Test history. The Ian Johnson-led Australians had landed in Pakistan just two days earlier after flight delays and then were humbled for 80 as police superintendent-turned seamer Fazal Mahmood took 6-34 and pace partner Khan Mohammad 4-43. Pakistan were 15-2 at the close before being all out for 199 on the second day. Mahmood and Mohammad then again ran through an Australian line-up containing greats such as Neil Harvey, Keith Miller and Richie Benaud as they crawled to 187 all out off 109.5 overs, Benaud top-scoring with 56. Mahmood finished with 7-80 and 13 wickets in the match and Mohammad took 3-69 as the seam pair accounted for all 20 wickets and Pakistan secured a famous nine-wicket victory.
