Shaheen Shah Afridi: Veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon joined the 500 Test wickets club as Australia thrashed Pakistan by 360 runs in the first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, giving the hosts’ a 1-0 lead in the three-game series.
On day four of the Test match, Australia set Pakistan a massive target of 450 runs after declaring on 233/5. Mitchell Marsh remained unbeaten after a quickfire half-century while Usman Khawaja‘s dismissal on 90 signalled the close of Australia’s innings. In reply, a listless Pakistan were shot out for just 89 in 30.2 overs.
In the morning, Steven Smith (45) added just two runs to his overnight score before he was dismissed lbw by Khurram Shahzad, who claimed three of Pakistan's first four wickets. Travis Head was next to fall, giving a catch to cover off Aamer Jamal.
