Pakistan vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights: Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc ran through the Pakistan batting order in the third session of Day 3 as the hosts were all out for 268 runs, thus handing a lead of 123 runs. Pakistan were looking set to surpass Australia's total but visiting captain Cummins and Starc triggered a spectacular collapse in which the hosts went from 214/2 to being all out for 268 runs. Abdullah Shafique and Azhar Ali earlier struck resolute half-centuries on Wednesday as Pakistan delivered a strong response to Australia's first-innings total of 391. Pakistan captain Babar Azam then scored 67 off 131 balls before the collapse began.
