Australia vs Pakistan 2016: 1st Test, day 4 - 5 talking points

#2 Thunderstorm scares the Aussies

Rain plays spoilsport

If Azhar Ali and Younis Khan's partnership was not terrifying enough for Australia, the thunderstorm that struck Brisbane certainly was. The Kangaroos were on top, but the game was far from over and rain was the last thing they needed to spoil their hard work of the first three days.

Umpires were forced to take an early tea at Brisbane as a thunderstorm threatened to halt the game. The drizzle, however, stopped after play was halted for around half an hour. The break seemed to have benefitted the Aussie pacers as Starc removed Azhar Ali four overs after the break.

Play was stopped yet again after that wicket, but this time it was a passing shower and Australia were more relaxed this time around having finally broken through the tough partnership.
