Easier said than done, but let’s break down what Pakistan needs to do. It’s easier if Pakistan aims for small milestones for each session, rather than keep looking at psychologically imposing 252 to win.

First session tomorrow:
Make about 75 runs / 60 odd runs no wickets lost. Do not lose Any wicket. New ball will come due in the session, so need to be careful. Yousuf will need to do a lot of talking to Umar. No unnecessary shots, be extra careful.
At lunch, Pakistan 245/3

Second Session tomorrow:
Make about 85 runs /** accelarate - 90+ runs lose 1 wicket atmost…slow strikerate guy should can go.**.. Lose 2 wickets at the most (Umar, Misbah). Need to keep the scoreboard ticking, without undue risks.
At Tea, Pakistan 330/5. Have Yousuf and Kamran Akmal at the crease

Third Session tomorrow:
Make the required 92 runs to win / 100 odd runs required - keep steady - accelerate as needed - lose 2 wickets at most. One full time batsmen at the crease remaining. Ramp up to win or cruise draw!! :D. May lose 3 wickets (Yousuf, Kamran, Ajmal). Step on the gas, but Australia will be put a lot of pressure. Need one reasonable batsman (Aamer) to finish it off. Asif is pretty much a bunny, so don’t let it go down to the wire.
At end of play, Pakistan 422/8

or do it with my revisions!! haha
