Pakistan vs Australia 3rd test: After displaying powerful performance in the first two tests against Pakistan, Australia are in a strong position at the moment in the third test. The tourists managed to bowl out hosts at 268 after scoring 391 runs in the first innings, building a first-inning lead of 123 runs. 

While talking about day 3 of the test, Pakistan were comfortable at 248/3 at one point but Australian pacers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins brought about a storm that saw Pakistani batters clueless. Even a batter of Rizwan's stature was seen struggling against fiery and full-length deliveries from Mitchell Starc. 

Rizwan managed to score just 1 run off 14 balls and was clean bowled by Mitchell Starc. The bowler angled the delivery in with pace which brought Rizwan forward. The ball was a ripper of a reverse swinging delivery which straightened past the outside edge and clipped the top of off-stump. This spell by Starc put Australia in front on day 3 of the match. 

Mohammad Rizwan gathered popularity for not making eye contact with a female interviewer, but this time around notched it up and failed to make eye contact with the lethal Starc delivery.

If Pakistan doesn't shuffle through the Aussie batting lineup tomorrow, they will once again find themselves in a tussle to save the test and series.
