the boredom in Pakistan continues. Australia laboured to 391.

Pakistan have basically crawled to 90/1

Destined for a draw.

Three draws in a row is not good for getting to the WTC final. I think Aus have to play India away, as well, which will be damn hard.

COuld be some tasty matchups coming towrads the end of the cycle. Barring a miracle, we're screwed with our losses to the Bangles and then SA

I would think 3 away draws would be quite good for Australia. Especially if at expense of one of the other major contenders Pakistan missing out on home wins.

This is said with no particular research done on the maths.

But form memory, based on the draw India, Australia, Pakistan were the teams most likely to get to the final.

Yeah Pakistan are probably screwing themselves by offering up roads. Should have been aiming to win all three with home field advantage.

Cynical me idly wonders if Pakistan and the West Indies are tar sealing their wicket blocks to gently kill interest in Test cricket, and to drive more interest in expanding the Pakistan Super League and the Caribbean Premier League instead...

Great take from Cummins in his follow-through - at 03:50 in this clip.

The carnage starts a minute later as Pakistan lose a pile of wickets. They were 214 for the loss of 2 and finished on 268 from there.

That’s test cricket. Fuck all happens for two days, then all hell lets loose!

Wow, THAT is a tail end collapse if ever I saw one. Last five couldn’t get double figures between them.

[mariner4life]

Do Pakistan actually want to win?

They need to up their run rate by a run an over to make it from here. Wickets in hand is good, but at some point they are going to have to be a little more positive. If they only score 85 in the next session they are going to leave a lot to do late.

@mariner4life have you seen their tail? It's crazy bad

[Donsteppa]

One for @Chris-B

Australia have 32 overs to take 3 wickets and win the series 1-zip

[Catogrande]

Meanwhile in the Caribbean, the England 10 & 11 put on nearly half of the total . Wasn’t it just last week that we’re we’re heralding a new dawn for English cricket?

[NTA]

Pakistan 8 down now

[NTA]

Sorry 9 down. Lyon has a Michelle

[mariner4life]

Good win thanks to a great declaration livening up the series

[NTA]

Thank fuck.

and a brutal collapse from Pakistan in the first innings.

Like the second test - there they saved it, but too much here. Well done Aus

Josh da Silva is a hell of a challenge to get out these days. Real limpet in Windows lower order and an example for teams like NZ

Settle down. He’s only facing England. I’d still choose Blundell over him

England trailing by 30 odd with just the six wickets in hand. Top order decimated yet again. Looks like we’re heading for a result here.
