Australian spin king Nathan Lyon moved to within three wickets of joining the elite 500 club on Friday as Pakistan dug deep to stay in touch on Day Two of the opening Test in Perth.
At stumps, the visitors were 132-2, trailing by 355, with Imam-ul-Haq not out on 38 and nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad on seven after they lost Shan Masood late on. But it was a slow grind with their runs coming off 53 overs after Aamer Jamal took 6-111 on debut to help dismiss the hosts for 487. Mitchell Marsh starred with 90 after David Warner’s defiant 164 on Day One.
