It's all over! A bizarre finish to a comprehensive innings victory 🐐🇦🇺🏏🇵🇰, as Nathan Lyon takes a five-for. And who could forget THAT David Warner innings... AUSvPAK
Needing another 248 to force Australia to bat again and avoid a second successive innings defeat, they had a decent crack but were eventually all out for 239 with the home team claiming victory by an innings and 48 runs.
“David and Marnus have been unbelievably good. We all witnessed a special knock from David Warner. It is among the top one or two innings ever by an Australian.” Lyon was Australia’s saviour, finishing with 5-69 on a lifeless pitch that offered little for the home side’s fast bowlers, who were made to toil.It was his 16th five-wicket haul and his first against Pakistan, who have lost all four Tests they have played this year after two defeats to South Africa in January.
“We have been beaten by a better team. We will take some positives from here. As a bowling unit, we need to control the scoring rate.” But Lyon struck again, with Shafiq getting a thin edge to a flighted ball that carried to Warner at slip and he was gone for 57. It capped another commanding victory for Australia who exploited Pakistan’s inexperienced bowling attack, which includes two teenagers.
