157.4

Yasir Shah to Hazlewood, OUT, Huge lbw appeal and given! Hazlewood reviews. Good length leg break, spinning back down the line, hit him on the shin but he did get a decent stride in. Nothing on hot spot or RTS. No bat involved. Ball tracking has it hitting the bails. It stays out. It was pitching in line, hitting in line, and hitting the bails. Umpire's call. Good decision

Vigneshwar: "What's the point of Aus batting on here? If they had declared when Marnus got out, they would have had 20 overs with the new ball to nip out 2-3 wickets by stumps. Surely they are not thinking 350 lead is more comfortable than a 300 run lead?" There's still two days left after this. They want as many as they can to limit the number they need in the fourth innings I guess.
