Innings break
Pakistan have declared. Enough is enough. Sarfraz calls them in and Australia will have 137 overs to survive or miraculously chase down the target of 462 to win.

Lyon to Asad Shafiq, OUT, caught at deep midwicket! A mistake from Shafiq. This was tossed up very full outside off, he hung in the crease and tried to launch this high with the spin to deep midwicket but he couldn't clear Mitch Marsh on the rope. Lyon goes past Lance Gibbs on the all-time Test wickets list. He also equals Brett Lee with 310 Test wickets for Australia.

Rohit Bhalerao: "Come on Pakistan, be bold and declare. With yesterday's demons fresh in the minds of Aussies, I don't think Paine and co will even discuss going after 450-odd in 140 overs. On the other hand, you will get enough overs to get them out. Please someone whisper this in the ears of Sarfaraz! "
