Pakistan keep Australia in check with crucial strikes
On the third morning at the SCG Test, Australia faced setbacks with the dismissals of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, reaching Lunch at 199/4, still trailing Pakistan by 114 runs.
Despite losing play time due to bad light and rain on the previous day, the match resumed slightly earlier on Day 3, with some cloud cover. Pakistan's bowlers stayed disciplined, trying hard to break through but facing tough luck. They opened with a string of maidens and unleashed a series of short balls, yet struggled to make an impact.
Labuschagne and Smith, who had banded together late on the previous day, steadied Australia's innings. They cautiously began scoring, with Smith reaching a fifty partnership through a risky shot that almost led to his dismissal. Labuschagne survived a review just before drinks, his inside edge saving him at 45. He then powered to a half-century with an impressive shot after the break.
However, the momentum shifted when Smith fell prey to Mir Hamza's strategy, caught out by Babar Azam. Soon after, Salman Agha bowled a sharp delivery that dismantled Labuschagne's stumps. In a quick flurry, Australia lost both well-set batsmen, slipping to 187/4 in just six deliveries.
Before Lunch, Travis Head and Mitch Marsh cautiously navigated through five overs without taking risks.
In summary, Australia stands at 199/4 (Marnus Labuschagne 60, Steve Smith 38; Salman Agha 2-27), trailing Pakistan by 114 runs.
