P17 3 Layout 1 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2016 SPORTS Run out ends thriller as Australia beat Pakistan BRISBANE: After a tense and lengthy innings that was shaping as one of the great- est chases in test cricket, Pakistan’s bold bid to beat Australia in the series-opening day- night Test was wrapped up in five balls yes- terday. Asad Shafiq marshalled the Pakistan tail- enders from 173-5 to 449-8 in pursuit of the improbable target of 490, scoring 137 from 207 balls before he was caught at gully, fend- ing off a Mitchell Starc short ball. Four balls and one run later, skipper Steve Smith threw down the stumps from second slip to run out Yasir Shah for 33. That ensured Smith’s young lineup held off Pakistan by 39 runs, maintained Australia’s unbeaten at the Gabba since 1988 and avoided the embar- rassment of losing the unlosable. After frustrating Australia on an extended, rain-interrupted fourth day, Pakistan started day five needing 108 to win while Australia needed two wickets. Fewer than 1,000 peo- ple were in the crowd when play started under overcast skies, including a small but vocal group of expats cheering every run and chanting “Pakistan Zindabad” - or long live Pakistan. Shafiq and Shah kept the pressure on Australia in a 71-run partnership that went close to giving Pakistan an unlikely world- record victory. After Shafiq’s departure, the responsibility moved to Shah, who earlier CHENNAI: England’s captain Jos Buttler (R) greets India’s Karun Nair (C) after scoring had an lbw decision overturned on review. a triple-century (300 runs) during the fourth day of the fifth and final Test cricket He dug out a yorker from Starc, steering it BRISBANE: Pakistan’s Asad Shafiq plays a shot during play on the final day of the first cricket match between India and England. —AFP toward the slips, but moved out of his crease Test between Australia and Pakistan in Brisbane, Australia, yesterday. — AP and Smith swooped.
