Day 3: Pak Vs Aus: Pakistan close in on victory...

After looking at the way morning session went, it seemed like Aus will save it from here and give Pak a hard run for their money, but Pakistan bounced back during the evening session by taking crucial wickets, thanks to Kaneria and Gul, and left Aussies at 286 for 8 at the end of the day, with Hussey putting a fight.

Earlier in the day, Hughes and Watson gave Aussies a comfortable start but Watson unfortunately fell once again in the nervous 90s. I guess, third time unlucky in the series for Watson. After that only Hussey looked comfortable against the Pakistani attack and watched other players go to the pavillion one by one.

So, the SCG will surely wake up tomorrow, but to their horror only to watch Australia losing from here on. I think Pak will wrap up the tailenders early morning tomorrow and will level the series 1 all and will go to the Oval with a positive frame of mind. Thanks to Pakistan to restrict Australia in this match, it will surely help the Indians retain the number 1 spot for a longer period of time... ;-)
