New Delhi: Pakistan lost the Boxing Day Test in dramatic fashion on Friday. Despite scoring 443 runs in their first innings in a match which witnessed frequent weather induced stoppages, Misbah-ul-Haq & Co suffered an innings defeat at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
For Australia, Mitchell Starc turned up as a perfect all-rounder, taking wickets and scoring runs. He ad skipper Steve Smith helped take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Here's how the win was set-up:
