Australia skipper Pat Cumming has declared the innings with a 350-run lead, setting Pakistan a target of 351 runs to with the third and last cricket Test match being played in Lahore on Thursday.

There will be 31 overs left today (or just under two hours play) and 90 overs tomorrow to decide this series. Usman Khawaja heads off unbeaten to more cheers. Will Pakistan believe they can chase these? First task is to get through this evening.
