Sydney: Australia strengthened their grip over the third Test match after Peter Handscomb became the third batsman for the hosts to score a century in the first innings.
After David Warner and Matt Renshaw, it was Handscomb's turn to punish the Pakistani bowlers, as the visitors struggled for wickets even on Day 2 at Sydney Cricket Ground.
The body langugage of the players had dropped yesterday and there wasn't much difference even today.
While Misbah-ul-Haq looked short of ideas, he had a bad day at the field as well, where he was involved in a very funny incident.
Handscomb played a straight drive off Mohammad Amir's bowling, Misbah, who was fielding at mid-off, first made a failed attempt to stop the ball with his foot, and then chased it down, only to slip on the field before throwing it.
The Pakistani skipper too had a good laugh. Watch the incident here:
Even the commentators saw the funny side to the incident as one of them said, "Dear, oh dear!"
At stumps on Day 2, Pakistan were trailing by 412 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings.
