Pakistan vs Australia, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Score Updates

PAK vs AUS, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Updates: David Warner and Usman Khawaja will look to give Australia a good start on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against Pakistan at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. The visitors will resume play from their overnight score of five for nil. Earlier, Pakistan had declared at 476/4, courtesy of fine centuries by Imam-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali. Opener Imam smashed 157 runs off 358 balls, hammering 16 fours and two maximums. Meanwhile, Azhar registered 185 runs off 361 balls, bagging 15 fours and three sixes. Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne registered a wicket each for Australia's bowling department. (LIVE SCORECARD)

We've talked a lot about the docile nature of the pitch, but in cricket, you should never drop a verdict unless both teams have batted and bowled at least once. It could easily come down to the quality of both the departments of these teams, so let's sit back and watch what the Pakistan bowlers extract from this pitch. Of course, there will be wear and tear, rough marks and footprints but are they enough to turn this sleeping 'batting' beauty into a minefield?

Welcome back, folks! Australia will be batting today. This is one aspect of the game that tests the foreign teams the most in the subcontinent. A lot of preparation goes into the way you want to brave the challenge of the alien conditions and it's now time to put everything to practice. It won't be wrong to say that the performance of Australia this morning, afternoon and evening will lay down the marker for this tour. A very important day of this Test series is coming our way shortly. Stay tuned...

... DAY 3 ...
