After restricting Pakistan to 264 runs in their first innings, the Aussies took a 54-run lead as skipper Pat Cummins picked up a five-for, while Nathan Lyon took four wickets. In the second innings, Australia opener Usman Khawaja lost his wicket on the second ball on a duck followed by Marnus Labuschagne's wicket in the third over as Shaheen Shah Afridi dismissed both the players.
During the fourth over, the match was paused as the third umpire, Richard Illingworth was stuck in the lift. The rare incident was captured on camera which left everyone in splits including the Aussie opener David Warner and the on-field umpires.
