DROPPED! Usman Khawaja what have you done? Loopy ball outside off, Rizwan reaches out for it and looks to drive but he chips it in the air to mid off and Khawaja doesn't get his hand underneath it but he spills that one in the end. Straight in and straight out but Usman Khawaja makes a meal out of it. What a twist that would have been had he grabbed it!

Marnus Labuschagne to Nauman Ali
Marnus Labuschagne bowls it full and into the rough, outside off. Nauman Ali presses forward and look sto defend with an angled bat but misses. Appeal for caught behind but the umpire says no. Steven Smith at first sli[ is very excited as he thinks he heard something. UltraEdge shows there is no bat involved. Australia burn their review.

CENTURY! Mohammad Rizwan scores his second Test ton and becomes only the second Pakistan wicket-keeper to score a ton in the fourth innings! Take a bow! Steps out to this loopy ball and gets a leading edge towards covers but he scampers through to bring up his ton. He has played a match-saving innings here! Raises his hands, takes his helmet and acknowledges the applause from the crowd as well as his teammates,

FOUR! THAT'S IT! Players shake hands and walk off. Pakistan cling on to a draw. Credit to Australia for toiling so hard and not giving up. Kept everyone on toes till the very end. What a riveting last hour we had, it had everything but then no body deserved to lose and both the teams settle for a draw in the end. Coming to the ball, it was dropped short and kept low on the middle and leg, Mohammad Rizwan goes deep inside the crease and hoicks it to the vacant deep mid-wicket region for a boundary.
