#Cricket #Highlights | Pakistan vs Australia | 1st Test Day 1 2022 #BoysReadyHainFull #AUSvPAK #PAKvAUS #PAKVSAUS #AUSVSPAK #PAKISTANvsAUSTRALIA #report You can already see footmarks on both sides of the stumps for the Pakistani spin trio to exploit. They would be looking to bat deep and probably once and hope their bowlers can do magic. Testing day ahead for Australia tomorrow. Can they turn up with great intent and keep the first innings total down to under 350? The story to continue tomorrow. See you all! Imam-ul-Haq: I cannot explain how I feel now. Coming back into the Test side, I wanted to make it count. I have been practicing hard in the last two and a half years. Special mention to the camp we had in Karachi. I last played against Australia and then got injured against New Zealand. And then was the twelfth man for a long time. You need to keep working hard. You need to learn from your mistakes and never lose your belief. I have played against Lyon. He is a quality spinner. If you give him time, he will trouble you. I was trying to play with positive intent to put him on the back foot. We do have quality off spinners so I practiced hard against them to play Lyon. Really thankful to Australia team and management that they came here. Australia did not take more than one wicket but they did bowl pretty well. The pitch was assisting pace and spin when it was moist, but Imam and Shafique played so well - respecting the bowlers. Once that moisture escaped, the pitch settled down and batting was easier. Lyon ended Shafique's century stand with Imam. Cummins then bowled a testing spell to Azhar Ali after lunch, but the veteran hung in there and notched up a typical fighting fifty. Imam meanwhile cashed in and upped his intent. Played Lyon well by using his feet and eventually recorded the hundred that his talent deserved. Australia tried off spin, leg spin, short ball, swing, seam, but nothing detered Azhar and Imam, who end the day with a 140-run unbeaten stand. 17:48 Local Time, 12:48 GMT, 18:18 IST: Stumps, Day 1 - "Watch the ball. Play to your strengths," read on a board in the Pakistani dressing room. That's exactly what Imam and Co. have done today. A satisfying day for Pakistan after winning the toss. The Aussie players congratulate Imam as he walks off. Meanwhile Imam's teammates are all smiles. Babar sports a "beaming smile." One thing about good cricket teams, they do enjoy each other's success. Indeed it is a special day for Imam. He's got that maiden Test hundred that has eluded him for a while and what a way to celebrate return to Test cricket. And he gets a warm hug from Babar as soon as he enters the dressing room.
