Australia vs Pakistan Live Score 3rd Test Day 3: Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne scripted a 79-run stand at the start of the third day at the Sydney Cricket Ground after rain and poor light had ruined a better part of the second day. The pair valiantly overcame Pakistan’s short-ball ploy on the third morning and looked set to bat through to lunch, but Shan Masood had other plans. Smith was dismissed for 28 after he chipped the delivery from Mir Hamza to covers with Masood having more fielders on the off-side, while Labuschagne went an over later, falling to off-spinning allrounder Agha Salman. Travis Head and in-form Mitchell Marsh then negated the pressure from the Pakistan attack over the next 20-odd minutes until Lunch with the match looking evenly poised. However, Aamer Jamal sent Head packing for 10 moments after the break to send Australia 5 down.
