The Australian top order have a massive job on their hands after Pakistan's strong first two days of the first Test in Rawalpindi. Follow the day three action in our live blog.
G'day, and welcome back. Australia's mission today is clear and obvious - bat and bat and bat and bat and bat.
Conditions will still be fantastic for the batters out there in Rawalpindi, and although they may be staring at a 471-run deficit, there is no hurry for the Aussies today. There are runs on offer for anyone who strides to the crease, but the challenge will be to stay as patient as their Pakistani counterparts were.
Lots of cricket to play today with the first ball to be bowled 10 minutes early today, so stick around for it all.
