Australia have collapsed to 7/89, with Shaoib Akhtar destroying the middle order with a 5 wicket haul.
Haven't had the chance to watch any of the play since lunch, but am not surprised with Akhtar getting rewarded like this. He bowled extremely well in his spell before lunch, both fast and accurate.... something Brett Lee hasn't done much of in recent times.
But with Australia getting towards a 300-run lead, Warne should still lead his side to victory (and a 10-wicket haul).
It seems the first session of the match will be the costly one for Pakistan, letting Australia score at above 5 runs an over just for the loss of one wicket.

Bad light stopped play. Doesn't look like they'll be coming back on tonight.
those paki openers were sh*tting bricks. they walked all the way out to the middle, took the light immediately then went back off. no way they were gonna face up to a fired up aussie side that had just been rolled 
I was at a test match once when the light went bad, so we had to drink full strength instead

That'll be fun in the pub tonight when these silly Pommes try and tell me Warne is past it.

Pakistan are now 0/56 after 17.2 overs - warney is on - bowling well, Gilly just missed a stumping, the paki openers are on 25 and 27 respectively. Still require 260 runs to win

Warney is the key. If he can get a bit of luck we will win. I get the feeling we are getting on top.

Pakistan at tea are 3 for 179, needing a further 137 to win the test match. Shane Warne has bowled really well taking 2 wickets and Brett Lee has the other wicket. The next 10 or 15 overs are vital in my opinion... we get a couple of wickets quickly and the pressure will be right on the Pakistani batsman.

On the first two days the rain and bad light came about the time that play was supposed to finish. The only problem being that the over rates of both sides have been so tardy that there were about a dozen overs to bowl when there shouldn't have been any.
And of course, this match was only scheduled for Sri Lanka at short notice.
Australia better hope Day 5 is washed out.
Amazing how thet lost control of this test.

What a beautiful piece of bowling by Shane Warne... the flipper and Younis Khan is plum LBW trying to pull, the ball was on him too quick and it would have knocked out all 3 stumps!!
Pakistan: 5 for 230
Cheers!!
