The initial phase saw Pakistan adopting a short-ball strategy, with an abundance of fielders on the leg-side. Despite a couple of pull shots tempting fate, Pakistan’s disciplined approach denied the Australians any significant chances. Marnus Labuschagne reached a well-deserved half-century, and the partnership seemed poised for a substantial stand.
However, Pakistan’s dynamism came to the forefront as they strategically placed three catching fielders in the cover, creating an opening. The plan bore fruit when Steve Smith drove a delivery straight into the hands of one of the fielders, providing Pakistan with a crucial breakthrough.
Salman Ali Agha continued to shine as he delivered a spectacular ball to castle Marnus in the very next over, emerging as Pakistan’s standout bowler of the day.
As the middle session approaches, Pakistan’s challenge is to sustain the pressure and capitalize on the opening they’ve created. With variable bounce in the pitch making batting challenging, Australia’s Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh will aim to counterattack. The impending availability of the second new ball adds layer of intrigue to the proceedings, promising an action-packed session ahead.
