2nd Test Day 2 PAK 570/6d V AUS 22/1

Stumps Report AUS 22/1: An innings of 213 from Younis Khan has given Pakistan full control after day two of the second Test match against Australia.

The double ton from Khan helped his side declare on a score of 570-6 before Australia ended the day on 22-1 after the dismissal of Chris Rogers.
After posting 276-2 on day one, Azhar Ali got out for 109, before an 181-run stand between Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq took Pakistan to 513-4 when Ul-Haq departed for 101.
Khan, who had posted two centuries in the opening Test, moved past the 200-run mark before he lost his wicket off the bowling of Peter Siddle.
Pakistan declared on 570-6 shortly before stumps to leave themselves time to attack the Australian openers, and their plan succeeded as Rogers went for five to leave the tourists facing a huge task to avoid the follow on.

Tea Report PAK 517/4: Younis Khan has secured a double century as Pakistan continue to dominate Australia by reaching tea on 517-4 on day two of the second Test in Abu Dhabi.


The Aussies made the breakthrough in the morning session by dismissing centurion Azhar Ali for 109, but Michael Clarke's side struggled to gain any momentum.
Khan, who is the third player after Javed Miandad and Inzamam-ul-Haq to score 8,000 Test runs for his nation, reached lunch on 143 not out and he continued to lead Pakistan's attack by storming to 200 runs in the afternoon.
As the Green Shirts surpassed 500 runs, Misbah-ul-Haq scored his 100th run of the innings with a reverse-swept four off Glenn Maxwell's delivery.
However the batsman was sent packing on 101 runs after getting caught and bowled by Steven Smith.
Khan (205 not out) and Asad Shafiq (1 not out) will return to the crease for the final session of the day.

Lunch report PAK 405/3: Pakistan have continued to rack up the runs againstAustralia, reaching lunch on day two of the second Test at 405-3.

Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq currently sits on 55, although Australia did manage to send Azhar Ali packing for 109.
There was more bad news for Australia as they lost Brad Haddin to a shoulder injury, with David Warner filling in behind the stumps.
Pakistan currently lead the series 1-0 in Abu Dhabi.
