Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score Updates

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd Test Day 3 Live Updates: Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith will aim to keep Australia moving against Pakistan on Day 3 of the third and final Test match in Sydney. Pakistan captured the key wickets of Australia openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja before rain washed out the second day's play. Labuschagne was on 23 and Steve Smith 6 in their team's 116 for 2 before play was ended by bad light and rain before Tea. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Right then, the officials have waited long enough but the race against time has been lost and Day 2 has been called off due to bad light and some persistent rain. After an intriguing Day 1 of the New Year's Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the stage was set for another exciting day of cricket. Day 2 saw a steady battle between bat and ball with Australia not giving an inch to the Pakistani bowlers who bowled tight lines but just couldn't get the reward. There were a couple of dropped catches but Agha Salman did get the wicket of David Warner with a ripper of a delivery and that might be the last time we see 'The Bull' batting in a Test match. Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne remained resolute but Khawaja soon got bogged down and fell in the forties. Pakistan will be pleased but would have wanted the game to carry on. Australia trail Pakistan by 197 runs but have plenty of batting to come and will look to improve the scoring rate on Day 3. Given we lost a huge amount of overs on Day 2, Day 3 will begin at 4.30 am IST (11 pm GMT) on Friday which is half an hour earlier but you can join us for the build-up much sooner than that. Let's hope for a rain-free and well-contested Day 3. Cheers!
