Australia have decided to field an unchanged playing XI for the third and final Test against Pakistan, starting from Monday here at the Gaddafi Stadium. The star pacer Josh Hazlewood will miss out for a second time in a row as Mitchell Swepson replaced him in the second Test in Karachi. Skipper Pat Cummins stated that he is content with how his side performed in Karachi Test that ended in a draw.
Test cricket returns to Lahore on Monday for the first time since a terror attack on a visiting team in 2009, with winner takes all for the Pakistan-Australia series finale. Pakistan's second-biggest city and its Gaddafi Stadium have not hosted a Test since the attack on the Sri Lankan team bus left six security personnel and two civilians dead. It drove international cricket away from Pakistan, forcing the home team to play their matches on neutral territory, mostly in the United Arab Emirates.
Australia interim head coach Andrew McDonald has hailed Babar Azam's 196-run knock in the fourth and final innings of the second Test that was played in Karachi. Having to bat almost two days and a score of 506 to chase, Pakistan were fighting the odds but Babar showed great fight and character to keep the Australians at bay. During the course of his knock, Babar also registered the highest score by a captain in the fourth innings of a Test.
Andrew McDonald has dismissed concerns over the team's failure to win Test matches from dominant positions after Pat Cummins' side were frustrated by Pakistan in the Karachi draw. Australia fell three wickets short of victory and a 1-0 series lead in the second Test despite setting a 506-run chase and bowling more than 171 overs. They have now tallied five such failures to bowl out teams on day five for victory in their last 19 Tests.
