(Reuters) - Australia captain Pat Cummins picked up five wickets while his fast bowling colleague Mitchell Starc took four as Pakistan were all out for 268, conceding a first-innings lead of 123 on the third day of the deciding third and final test in Lahore.
Mitchell Starc is famous for producing his best deliveries when Australia's backs are against the wall and he replicated the same on Day 3 of the ongoing third Test against Pakistan at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday. The pacer bowled two lethal deliveries to get the better of Fawad Alam and Mohammad Rizwan. The balls were delivered with great pace and the Pakistan duo had no answers to what was thrown at them. After being bowled, Rizwan especially had a shell-shocked expression seeing what transpired on the 22 yards.
India's Ravindra Jadeja reclaimed the top spot from West Indies' Jason Holder in the latest ICC Test rankings for all-rounders released on Wednesday. Jadeja had risen to No. 1 after his 175 not out and nine wickets in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali earlier this month. However, he had lost the place to Holder last week. But the two players have once again interchanged places with Jadeja back on top with 385 rating points. Jadeja's compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin held on to his third place among all-rounders and continued to be second in the bowlers' chart.
Kolkata Knight Riders mentor David Hussey feels new skipper Shreyas Iyer has a good cricketing brain and has proved his skills as a leader during his stint as Delhi Capitals captain. Iyer, who led Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020, was bought by KKR for Rs 12.25 crore at the mega auction last month. He was named captain by KKR team management ahead of pacer Pat Cummins, who leads the Australian Test side.

The crowd at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore were witness to a spectacular catch from visiting Australian captain Pat Cummins, who grabbed a screamer off his own bowling to see the back of Azhar Ali for 78 runs. On Day 3 of the third Test, the Pakistan batters made the bowlers work hard for their wickets before spinner Nathan Lyon got the first breakthrough of the day, getting rid of Abdullah Shafique for 81 runs. However, Ali continued to impress as he picked up from last night and completed a magnificent half-century.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season is truly upon us and the tournament is just three days away. The opener will be contested between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium. With Australian players being involved in the ongoing series against Pakistan, chief mentor of the franchise, David Hussey has provided a big update on the availability of Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch. "Well, it is a concern, you want your best players available, but international cricket should be the para-limit. Every cricketer should want to play international cricket for their countries so they have commitments that way. I think Cummins and Finch will miss the first five games but they will be cricket fit and cricket ready," said Hussey during a virtual press conference.
