Pakistan started on 132-2 after building a solid foundation but are facing hard time against Australia’s fierce bowling attack.

Earlier, seasoned player Sarfaraz Ahmed lasted for mere 6 balls, as Mitchell Starc sent former skipper in no time.

Pakistan has struggled in Test series in Australia and hasn’t won a Test in the country since 1995.
