Doesn't look like Australia has enforced the follow-on. Their top four batsmen were charging off the field. Their quicks will get a bit of rest as a result. Not sure I'd have batted again considering the weather. But well, I'm not playing Test cricket for a reason.

Hazlewood to Imran Khan, OUT, cleaned 'im up. Gone. Imran is bowled. Younis is left stranded. Full outside off from Hazlewood, the ball deviates in and beats Imran on the inside edge. Hits off and middle stump.

Hazlewood to Imran Khan, no run, 141 kph, full around off, defended into the off side.

Imran Khan. Hazlewood will be full and straight, attacking the edges

Hazlewood to Yasir Shah, OUT, edged and taken this time. Full and wide outside off, the ball coming back in. Yasir pokes at something he doesn't need to and pays the price. Throws his head back because he knows he's disappointed his batting partner. Yasir gets forward, wafts, and a thick edge is gratefully, gleefully accepted by Smith at second slip, taking the catch in front of his body, hands pointed down

O'Keefe to Younis Khan, SIX, six more! Who's Munro? Flat delivery outside off, Younis gets to the pitch and muscle his six over cover with just a clean swing of his bat. Got the ball through the line. Played with the spin.

Tony: "Of the batsmen who have played at least 100 Tests, Younis Khan's average is 4th behind KC Sangakkara (57.40), JH Kallis (55.37), SR Tendulkar (53.78) and Younis Khan's 53.22, a full point up from the last Test."
