Pakistan in control of Australia at lunch on final day of first Test

Pakistan take three wickets before lunch to reduce Australia to 117-7 in their second innings and tighten their grip on the first Test.

Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar took two wickets before lunch on the final day as Pakistan tightened their grip on the first Test with Australia.

After resuming on 59-4, Australia struggled to keep the Pakistan bowlers at bay, losing three wickets in quick succession and finding themselves reduced to 117-7 by the interval.

Opener Chris Rogers [43] was bowled by debutant Imran Khan before 35-year-old Babar dismissed all-rounder Mitchell Marsh for three.

Australia's last recognised batsman Brad Haddin did not last long either, going for a duck as Babar bowled him 10th ball.

Steve Smith [31] and Mitchell Johnson [seven] were at the crease at the end of the session with the Australians now facing a thankless task this afternoon as they trail by 320 runs.
