Aus vs pak test today

That’s it for the day, with six overs left unbowled despite the extra half hour. It was a day all about David Warner, whose place in the team has been questioned by plenty of people after his declining returns in Test cricket. But he loves playing Pakistan, now averaging 88 against them, and he towelled them up again today. Finished with 164, after a century opening stand with Usman Khawaja. Set up Australia’s strong position here. Pakistan have fought back a bit in that final session, but their bowling was terrible early and their fielding missed three chances: Khawaja, Warner, Warner. Australia will demolish them without early wickets tomorrow. We’ll be back with you for Day 2, of course. See you then Aus vs pak test highlights

In the series-opening Test against Pakistan, Australia's captain, Pat Cummins, won the toss on Thursday and elected to bat first. Following their recent triumph in the Cricket World Cup in India and their success in the World Test Championship earlier this year, Australia is aiming to continue its winning momentum. The only change in Australia's playing XI from the previous test match is the inclusion of veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who is returning after recovering from an injury sustained during the Ashes series in England. Lyon is eyeing the milestone of surpassing 500 career Test wickets.

Australia: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (captain), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

Pakistan: Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood (captain), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Aamer Jamal, Khurram Shahzad.
