A remarkable Test match between Australia and Pakistan comes to and end with the hosts prevailing in the end by 39 runs on Monday (December 19). Pakistan kept Australia on the field for 145 overs to be bowled out for 450, that, after having been 173 for 5. Pakistan showed immense pluck at the Gabba, and almost pulled off a world-record chase thanks to Asad Shafiq's brilliant 137 with the lower order for company.
In the end, though, it was fitting to have Steve Smith execute the last run-out to seal the win, given his fumbles with catches yesterday. Australia take the first Test and lead the three-match series 1-0. True beauty of Test cricket.
