Cricket - 2nd test Australia vs Pakistan

I am supporting Pakistan for this second test even though they lost the first test by a big margin. Looks like Pakistan was on the right track on day after bowl out Australia for a low total. Their batting was good having taking more than two hundred runs first innings lead. They was in a strong position to win the test after day three as Australia only managed to take an eighty runs lead wih only two wicket in hand. There was even commentary that Pakistan will take the last two Australia wicket early of day four and overtake the total before lunch. However, that was not the case. The Australia batsman managed to stay longer than expected on the crease and put in a reasonable total for their bowlers to defend. Nonetheless, it is an achievable total for Pakistan to win the match but the final result is Pakistan lost in spite of the good foundation laid after day three.
