Third Test - Australia v Pakistan: Day 3
Ponting's 209 annihilated Pakistan

In 2010, Pakistan visited Australia for a 3-Tests series. After losing the first two Tests and conceding the series, the visitors were looking for a desperate win while the hosts wanted to continue their dominance. Ponting won the toss and chose to bat first.

The hosts lost both the openers cheaply and were struggling at 52-2. Ponting took over and scored a brilliant double-century to get the hosts back in the game. He finished with 209 off 354 balls and hit 25 fours. Australia finished with 519-8 declared.

Pakistan in their first innings got dismissed for 301 giving a huge 218-run lead to the Kangaroos. The Australians are definitely not the ones to blow such leads and they went on to win comprehensively. Punter was given the Man of the Match for his wonderful knock that gave a huge first-innings lead.
