NEW DELHI: Pakistan's Aamer Jamal claimed six wickets for 69 runs as Pakistan took a narrow first-innings lead against Australia in the third Test on Friday. However, Australia's home bowlers fought back strongly, leaving the match finely balanced heading into the final two days.
Josh Hazlewood, the Australian paceman, turned the tide in his team's favor with four wickets for just nine runs, including three crucial wickets in the penultimate over of the day. This left Pakistan struggling at 68/7 with a lead of only 82 runs.
