AUSTRALIA WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 5 RUNS! Pakistan are bowled out for 335. It's been a clinical performance from the hosts and they deserved to win. Superb batting was followed up by some good aggressive bowling and they've wrapped up a pretty good outing. A great start to their summer, they'd think. Hazlewood finished with four, Starc with three. Marnus Labuschagne starred with his maiden Test ton, while Warner would've been happy to be among the runs once again.

For Pakistan, they'd be pleased with the fight they've shown. Yesterday's bowling and thereafter the batting today was brilliant. They delayed the inevitable for as long as they could. Babar, especially showed a lot of fight. And Muhammad Rizwan will be extremely pleased to get to 95, but disappointed to fall just on the brink of what would've been his maiden Test ton. Nevertheless, they can hold their heads high for the fight they showed in the second innings, bettering their performance from the first.

The Test bodes well for the next day-night one in Adelaide. Thank you for your company. Do join us then.

Hello and welcome to Day 4! Pakistan will have to play positive cricket like they did last evening. It's going to be a little tough with Nathan Lyon starting things off. Can they hold Australia off for the day?

Australia scored a massive 580 in reply to Pakistan's 240 thanks to David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne - both of who went past scores of 150. Joe Burns fell short of his own century, but Australia did extremely well with the bat before a spell of 17 overs before stumps that hurt Pakistan. Starc got two, Pat Cummins got one as Pakistan were reduced to 25/3.

Babar Azam and Shaan Masood did well yesterday to see off the Australian attack during that period adding 37 runs, ending the day on 64/3. This morning session will be key for Pakistan.
