Won toss, batting first and playing for a draw in home conditions. Not a good advertisement for Test cricket

ICC won't rate the pitch as "poor" since they mostly do that only to spinning pitches

Can’t fathom how a team bats two full days to just score 470 odd for 4. Anybody cate to explain why didn’t Pak accelerate?

 

That too against an worn out attack.

271/2 with both wickets going to spinners. 

lol Pakistan is the only top ( cough cough) cricketing nation which has lost a HOME SERIES to Zimbabwe. That too in 1998 when they had the best of PHAAST BOWLERS. So yeh sab bakwas 25 years se chal raha hai. Phaast bowling

 

The Zimbabwe national cricket team toured Pakistan from November to December 1998 and played a three-match Test series against the Pakistan national cricket team. Zimbabwe won the opening Test by 7 wickets, their first overseas victory,^[1] and went on to win the series 1–0.

Zim was a pretty good team back then. And some greenbro on here had the irony of accusing some players of stat padding against Zim in the 90s. if this very same Zim beat Pak in Pak, I wonder what that makes the latter look like.

What a pathetic wicket, one to kill the test cricket. That too for a long awaited test series. Babar is not a leader, he is a good barman , that's it, still under the Misbah's  influence , utter defensive , was playing for draw before the match started .

This is worst than a spinning wicket, any result is better than a tame draw.

Misbah's legacy lives on. 

[Lone Wolf]

Pujara & Azhar Ali batting together on this pitch have potential to kill test cricket in a single day

 

Meanwhile Bahane will still find a comical way to get out on this track

[Dery]

For final 2 innings both captains on last day can agree to a 40-40 over innings to get a result

[rageaddict]

Any little chance of a result in the Test has been killed due to the bad weather and overs lost.

Australia should look to bat the whole time & completely break Pakistani bowlers now.  Take this as a practice match.  Ideal situation for them to make most out of it.

LOL. This is not gali cricket.

Now Pakistanis can brag about how they secured a draw against the Number 1 Test Side - that they didn't lose to Aussies, that was the sole purpose behind preparing this Patta. Expect same pitches in the next two matches.

Break shaheen. That's it. Break him. Make him bend his back. Nobody else has the ability to bowl yorkers like him in the team. Hassan will come in next game with faheem so they should be ok but if they can tire out and fatigue shaheen it's good for Aussies.

Smith hasn't got a ton for over a year now, hope he ends his draught today.

[Sgattick10]

Loose shot from Labu, another one gone in the 90s

[Lone Wolf]

Head has arrived with a positive mindset.  Both team's mentality is such a stark contrast.  All Australia needs in this series is toss to go their way..  Once that happens I think they will be all over Pakistan team.

Oh boy what's Jinx..  Noman Chacha gets him

[Austin 3:!6]

Steve Smith, like Kohli has passed his prime. He is no longer the batsman he was few years ago.
