Boxing Day Test. Australia v. Pakistan.

[Pies4shaw]

Tea. 4/107. Smith 26*, Marsh 57*.

[Donny]

4/135, a lead of 189 runs.

Marsh 74*, Smith 37*.

[Pies4shaw]

4/159. The partnership is now 143*.

Once again, it's amazing to see how flat the wicket gets the moment BradSmith comes to the crease. It's an extraordinary coincidence that Test wickets all over the World suddenly get flat when BradSmith takes strike - and then get immediately difficult again, the moment he leaves the crease.

[Pies4shaw]

Marsh caught at slip for 96. The parrtnership reached 153. 5/169, BradSmith 49*. The lead is 223.

[Pies4shaw]

SPD BradSmith brings up his 50*.

[Donny]

6/187 at stumps. Marsh 96, Smith 50, Afridi and Hamza 3 wickets each.

The Oz lead is 241. Carey 16*.

[Donny]

Aussies lead by 290. 8 down.

Carey 41*, Cummins 16.

[Donny]

They're reached the 300 lead mark. 9 down.

Carey 43*.

[Donny]

All out 262. The lead is 316. Carey 53, Afridi & Hamza took 4 wickets each.

Excellent knock from Carey.

[Donny]

Wicket for Starc.

1/8.

[Donny]

3/125. Masood 60, Cummins 2/27.

Azam 31*.

[Donny]

5/203. Rizwan 29*, Salman 22*, Cummins 2/38, Starc 2/55.

[Donny]

Cummins again. Has 3/43. Rizwan 35.

6/219.

[Pies4shaw]

And all out for 237. Cummins with 5/49 (and 10/97 for the match). Starc took 4/55, Hazlewood 1/34 and Lyon 0/84.

Just as well SPD BradSmiuth and Marsh put on that 153 or the opposition would have walked in to victory. Fittingly, they took the final two catches, in successive balls from Starc to snare then victory. SPD BradSmith's, of course, rightly described by CricInfo as "an absolute stunner".

[Pies4shaw]

Cummins was named POTM, of course.
