Pakistan vs Australia, 1st Test, Day 5 Live Updates†Nauman Ali struck early on Day 5 to take out Australian captain Pat Cummins in the pending first test at Rawalpindi. It completed a five-wicket-haul for the left-arm spinner. However, Pakistan’s first home test against Australia in nearly a quarter of a century looked set to end in a draw despite Nauman Ali. When the umpires called off the game on Day 4 with three overs to bowl, Mitchell Starc was at 19 and skipper Pat Cummins at four — with Australia just 27 behind Pakistan’s first-innings total of 476-4. Australia is on their first trip to Pakistan since 1998, having previously refused to visit for security reasons. (LIVE SCORING CARD)
