Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq made the most out of the opportunity and stitched 252 runs for the opening wicket - Pakistan's best against Australia for the first wicket - on Day 5 to see the match ending before its scheduled time as no result other than draw seemed possible.

Unlike Day 4, the weather looks fine for a full day?of cricket. But the play will most probably follow the trend,?that of batters dominating the bowlers, unless something?chaotic happens.

With Test matches still coming up in Karachi and Lahore,?the series will surely see some results. But for now, both?sides will have to settle for a draw and lose out on?crucial ICC World Test Championship points. As of?March 6,?Australia were leading the points table, with Pakistan?closely on their heels at second. Check the standings HERE.

The final day can still spring some surprise though. 90?overs are more than enough to wrap up two innings. And both?sides have some fine bowlers who can trigger such?collapses on their respective ranks.

The likes of Shaheen Afridi, Nauman Ali, Pat Cummins Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, etc. should be given a chance to shine on this insipid Test. The clash has seen enough of?Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and their ilk.?
