Watch: "Crocodile Jaw..." - Pakistan Star Roasted Once Again For Dropped Catch Against Australia

Pakistan cricket team star Abdullah Shafique was once again criticised heavily after he dropped a sitter at first slip to provide a lifeline to Mitchell Marsh on Day 3 of the second Test match against Australia in Melbourne. It was a straightforward chance but he ended up closing his hands too soon and the ball bounced out much to the disappointment of Pakistan. Shafique had earlier dropped a catch from David Warner in the first innings and former Australia slip fielder Mark Waugh was not impressed.“Like a crocodile jaw trying to take a catch. Get him out of there,” Waugh said on commentary.

Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith led an Australian fightback after the hosts slumped to 16-4 against a fired-up Pakistan on Thursday to build their lead to 161 at tea on day three of the second Test.

At the break, they were 107-4 with Marsh on 57 and Smith not out 26 in a crucial 91-run partnership after a horror start on a pitch still offering plenty for the bowlers.

After dismissing Pakistan for 264 in reply to their first innings 318, with Pat Cummins taking 5-48 and Nathan Lyon 4-73, Australia needed to negotiate a tricky 15 minutes of the morning session.

Another drop by Pakistan.

But anchorman Usman Khawaja was out for a duck second ball, caught behind by Mohammad Rizwan off bowling spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi.

The same combination struck again when Marnus Labuschagne edged down the legside to be out for five, leaving them on 6-2 at lunch.

When they returned, David Warner let rip with a drive to the boundary off Afridi, but he didn't last, dragging a Mir Hamza ball onto his stumps on six.

He received a standing ovation as he walked off for
