Dawn

ISLAMABAD, Oct 2: Pakistan skipper Aamir Sohail has said that Pakistan would fight back to get Australian out at the minimum possible total on the third day.

Australia, 32 runs behind to Pakistan's first innings total of 269 all out, has six first innings wickets in hand with Steve Waugh batting on 104 and Darren Lehmann at 4 not out.

Sohail was hopeful his spinning trio, led by leg spinner Mushtaq Ahmed, off-spinners Saqlain Mushtaq and rookie Mohammad Hussain would be able to get the opponents out.

The skipper said that the a lot of and thrilling cricket was left in the match even though the Australians have built up a first innings total of 237 for 4. "There is a lot of cricket to be seen in this game, and the wicket has started to turn, although it is a slow turn at the moment," he said.
