However, the opening pair of Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq has started positively for the Pak to ensure that the Test is all set for a Thrilling finish on the 5th day.

4th day: As it happened

Usman Khwaja, the man of the hour, once again reigned supreme in the Test series. He added another hundred to his tally of centuries in the series. Warner, too broke his drought of runs to notch up a half-century. He was dismissed by Shaheen Shah Afridi on 51 when he missed a straight delivery that ended up shattering his stumps.

The duo formed a 96 runs stand for the first wicket, followed by 65 runs for the second wicket between Usman Khwaja and Marnus Labuschagne. Marnus was dismissed by Nauman Ali on 31 and failed to register any score of significance in the series. 

Steven Smith followed Marnus on the crease and formed a 55 runs stand for the third wicket with Khwaja. Smith was dropped on 13 by Azhar Ali. However, Smith could not reap its benefit and got dismissed on 17. 

In the end, Australian captain Pat Cummins decided to declare on 227/3 to produce a result in the series to break the stalemate between the two teams. Cummins and co. must have fancied getting quick wickets on a pitch that seemed to be deteriorating. However, Shafique and Imam played with extreme vigilance and positivity to keep Pakistan in contention of winning the series.
