SCORE: Australia 487 (David Warner 164, Aamer Jamal 6-111) & 5d-233 (Usman Khawaja 90, Khurram Shahzad 3-45), Pakistan 271 (Imam-ul-Haq 62, Nathan Lyon 3-66) & 89 (Saud Shakeel 24, Josh Hazlewood 3-13)
PLAYER OF THE MOMENT: Khawaja and Marsh were the heroes with the bat, and Starc the pick of the bowlers, but Lyon will grab the headlines with his 500th wicket. He had to be patient to notch his milestone after being stranded on 499 following the first innings. Lyon (2-14) had two lbw shouts and a caught-behind review waved away before trapping Ashraf in the third session. He sent Aamir Jamal on his way later that over for good measure. Lyon joins Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath as the only Australians to reach the 500 milestone.
STAT OF THE DAY: Australia have won their past 15 Tests hosting Pakistan, with the visitors’ most recent win in December 1995.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “From a young kid growing up in country NSW, 500 wickets was a bloody long way away. There was a lot of hard work. It’s something that I’m very, very proud about.” Lyon was all smiles speaking to Fox Cricket about his magic moment.
