Australia trails Pakistan by 27 runs in first Test

The Hindu  

Australia's batters flourished on a flat wicket on Monday to cut Pakistan's lead to 27 runs as the first Test heads toward a draw. Australia, playing its first Test in Pakistan since 1998, reached 449 for seven at Stumps in its first innings on Day 4 on a grassless wicket with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith scoring half centuries. On a docile wicket where there was no appreciable turn for the spinners, left-arm spinner Nauman Ali grabbed four for 107 mainly because Australia's batters went for extravagant shots. Green showed lot of determination in his 81-run stand with Smith before Nauman induced false strokes from both batters by bowling consistently outside the leg stump line in the last session.
