10.34am And that's enough for Cummins. Australia finally declare. Australia post 556 for 9 declared. That is Australia's 6th highest score in Asia. They added 51 runs in 9 overs this morning. Pakistan picked up one wicket. The spinners didn't get much purchase but a couple of balls from Hasan Ali misbehaved. But given every Australia batter reached double figures bar Labuschagne and 9 of 11 made 23 or more, Pakistan's batters should not be hugely concerned. But we shall see if the track starts to break up.

Greg O'Connell: "Reckon you could have got very long odds that the only Aussie batsman not to get to double figures would be Labuschagne. Even longer that he scored a duck."

Dave: "Cummins declaring for that red ink. Great captaincy! "

Hasnain : "That is a very tactical declaration. If pakistan play the day today. Australia will have a new ball tomorrow "
