In walked Rahat Ali as Pakistan’s last batsman and Yasir Shah had his mind set on hitting the big shots. Needing only 40 runs to win the match, Yasir Shah was dismissed via a run-out which can be termed silly.
Australia were two wickets from victory at the end of day four of the first day-night test against Pakistan on Sunday, but the tourists were buoyed by a feisty fourth innings chase and a brilliant unbeaten century from Asad Shafiq.
