Australia will breathe a sigh of relief after finally breaking that irksome partnership. David Warner rushed back to the pavilion after the final wicket and will be ready to open the batting. It's a fabulous recovery from Pakistan after losing the first four wickets cheaply. Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha played splendidly, and it looked like they would be bundled out under 250. However, the last pair surprised us all with their valour and clean hitting. Can they see off the last few overs of the day? Pakistan will look to get some quick wickets and take the momentum with them. I'll be back soon. Don't go anywhere

Lyon to Aamer Jamal, OUT, Finally, Aamer Jamal miscues a skier and holes out to Starc at long on. He stands there in disbelief but this has been a stupendous knock from Aamer Jamal; he has regaled the crowd royally at SCG! Exceptional batting against all the odds and he struck a wonderful partnership with Mir Hamza. Jamal gets a standing ovation as he walks back towards the dressing room.

Head to Mir Hamza, no run, Round the wicket, goes full on middle, quicker as well, defends it well into the leg side. That decision to bat first is looking food now

Head to Aamer Jamal, no run, Over the wicket, tossed up on a length it holds its line outside off, slinks forward and an outside skews away towards short third

Throwing another dice. Travis Head into the attack. Would he break this partnership?

Lyon to Aamer Jamal, FOUR, Once again dances down and pounds it over Lyon's head for a four! That was absolutely leathered. Amazing strokeplay, what a find for Pakistan

Lyon to Aamer Jamal, SIX, Just frame that shot! Shorter length with lots of air, springs down the track and takes the aerial route, way over deep midwicket. That left a dent!

Mirz: "Is it the highest last-wicket partnership for Pakistan, at least against Australia?" Second highest at the moment
