Sydney: Pakistan face a big fight to save the third Test on the final day today after another David Warner blitz helped give Australia time to attempt to secure a 3-0 series victory.


The dynamic left-hander reached his half-century from only 23 deliveries, the fastest by an Australian and second fastest in Test history.


Warner was bowled for 55 from 27 balls but Usman Khawaja (79 not out) and Steve Smith (59) carried on his good work to allow Australia to declare on 241 for two off just 32 overs. That left Pakistan - in their pursuit of 465 - with 16 overs to see out the day. Nathan Lyon dismissed debutant Sharjeel Khan for 40 before nightwatchman Yasir Shah saw out the day with Azhar Ali as Pakistan reached 55 for one. The tourists were bowled out for 315 in their first innings with Younis Khan unbeaten on 175.
