Pakistan eye big win

Oct 25, 2014

Australia were immediately put on the back foot in the penultimate morning as Azhar Ali and Ahmed Shehzad stretched Pakistan's advantage with a 71-run opening stand•Getty Images

Ahmed Shehzad, however, remained unfazed and carried on with a number of big blows over long on•Getty Images

Just as it did on the team selector Rod Marsh•Getty Images

Shehzad was finally trapped lbw for 131, ending a 168-run stand for the second wicket•Getty Images

Yasir Shah was the next to strike, getting both Michael Clarke and the nightwatchman Nathan Lyon leg before in the 17th over•Getty Images

Azhar made 34 before edging Steve O'Keefe behind to the keeper•Getty Images

Younis Khan provided ample support at the other end, as Pakistan kept going at well over three runs an over•Getty Images

Younis followed up his century in the first innings with a composed fifty in the second. He reached the landmark with an assured drive through the covers for four•Getty Images

But Younis kept the momentum going and accelerated towards his second century of the match. He became the first player in 40 years to achieve such a feat against Australia•Getty Images

It meant that they finished the day at 59 for 4, and on the brink of a big defeat•Getty Images

It was a frustrating day for every Australian bowler, and it told on their faces...•Getty Images

Shehzad broke the record for most sixes by a Pakistan opener, and eventually collected his second Test hundred, in his sixth match, as he and Younis extended Pakistan's advantage beyond 350•Getty Images

Pakistan declared for 286, setting Australia 438 for victory. The visitors, though, once again collapsed in the face of incisive spin bowling, as Zulfiqar Babar had David Warner stumped and Alex Doolan trapped lbw in the same over•Getty Images
