Pakistan's Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique stitched together an important partnership as they took the score to 192/2 at Stumps on Day 4, still needing 314 more runs to win on the final Day. Babar completed a fine hundred as he looked in complete control during the course of his innings and will surely be the main wicket for Australia to claim going into the decisive day. Australia declared their second innings on 97 for two, following the dismissal of Marnus Labuschagne on 44. First innings centurion Usman Khawaja remained unbeaten on 44. Australia's declaration came soon after the start of play on Day 4 in Karachi, setting Pakistan a mammoth 506-run target to win the second Test of the three-match series. (SCORECARD)
