What an innings by Warner, has given Aus a very good chance of winning this test match on day 5. Get to 600 tomorrow then wait for the inevitable Pakistan bagging collapse.

Batting*

Neo or they get bowled out for 350 we score 250 quickly declare and bowl them all out

98 no-balls by Wahab Riaz in tests in the past year. Somebody needs to have a sneak peak into his bank account. I see he's being coached by Asif

Another rainy day in store by the looks of it.. think I'll give it a miss today. All pointing towards a draw. Can't see paks winning if yesterday's bowling performances is repeated today.

Beauty from wahab.. poor Usman

wahab must have a good nights sleep, bowling much better today

Melbourne forecast:

Humid. Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of showers. The chance of thunderstorms with possible heavy falls.

Hot here today (200km south of Brisbane), just back from a long walk on the beach with the dogs, air con blowing cold. Inside all day now

Why are the commentators getting so carried away for? already talking about how Australia have a chance of forcing a win. They're already thinking Australia will get a 170+ run lead despite the fact they are still 100 odd behind. Yes they have 7 wickets in hand but still a lot of work to do. Pakistan should have got rid of Handscombe straight away when he was struggling and they have completely let him off the hook. Desperately need to break this partnership asap!

This is turning out exactly that type of game Pakistan would bottle.

We could save a lot of time and call it a one innings game, 443 all, lets go to the pub

Well done Smithy

The rain has made life easier for us. Even we will do well to lose this. Aussies will probably bat till lunch with a 150 lead and then have a bash at us.

Batting paradise, can't see anything beyond a draw now - famous last words!

Remind me how many matches this year England have bottled? should have beaten Bangladesh, probably should have lost 2-1 against India rather then 4-0!

TLLL is a Pakistan fan

How the f is yasir suppose to take wickets with field placing like that misbah???

That was the problem yesterday for Pakistan, poor field placement or not bowling to the fields set. Could be a long day for nothing.

Two points dropped at Villa, thought Sacko was going to win it at the death

Aussies looking to pick up the pace now

Deserved the full 3 points we were excellent 2nd half.. jansson is absolute quality -get him signed up on a permanent deal!!

Aus will be looking for quick runs before lunch, could be an entertaining session. Then batting practice for Pakistan, should be an early finish

The way we started this morning looks like Misbah is already bricking it.

Ozzie, give over, no such thing as batting practice for Pakistan

Good job Smith is playing for his batting average
