Australia bossing the game with a massive lead of 216 runs and Pakistan are miles behind. The lower order didn't contribute much today and it's been a familiar story for Pakistan cricketers. Pat Cummins confirms that Australia will bat again and won't enforce the follow-on. This dynamic Australian bowling attack seldom disappoints, and they clinically got the job done as Pakistan's resistance melted away, with nobody really getting going.

Pratheek Jain: "Baffles me how Lyon continues taking wickets against Asian sides in home conditions. He's an off spinner. No disrespect but pretty much any and every Asian side of the 90s would have hit him into retirement."
aman: "Pakistan's cricket team's performance, particularly in this match, reveals a strategic approach that seems outdated, reminiscent of the 1990s. This conservative style is evident in their slower run rate, currently at 2.52, in stark contrast to Australia's more aggressive 4.3 in the first innings.
