Good evening!
Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of day three of the SCG Test.
We'll be back tomorrow for what is likely to be the final day of the series!
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: What a day!
15 wickets in one day!
Pakistan finish 7-68 with a lead of 82 runs.
A lot of those wickets late in the day weren't even down to the pitch, just rash shots.
What a crazy day three.
"It's just incredible, absolutely incredible," Ian Smith said on Fox Cricket.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Hazlewood is the man!
This is insane!
Salman is gone for a second ball duck too, edging a delivery to David Warner at first slip and Hazlewood takes another wicket.
He is on fire!
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Straight through!
The nightwatchman Sajid Khan is gone!
"The nightwatchman plan has been a complete failure," Ian Smith said on Fox Cricket.
Sajid leaves a massive gap between bat and pad with Hazlewood bowling him easily.
He faced only two balls, and the first ball played a wild cut shot. Maybe the idea of throwing Sajid out there wasn't great.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: The Hoff strikes!
Another wicket for Australia and that is soft!
Josh Hazlewood floats one outside off stump and Shakeel edges it to first slip which Michael Vaughan describes as "too easy".
"You can't do that, you cannot give Australia that opportunity," Ian Smith said on Fox Cricket.
Adam Gilchrist: "It goes from bad to worse for Pakistan."
Pakistan are blowing a big opportunity here.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Another one's gone!
Babar Azam's mediocre tour of Australia continues as he departs for 23.
Travis Head gets the wicket, forcing a drive from the world class batter with Alex Carey grabbing the edge.
Pakistan are 4-60.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Another review!
Nathan Lyon traps Saim Ayub on the pads and it's given out!
Ayub decides to review after a long deliberation with Babar.
Three red lights follow on ball tracking and he's out! That was really, really plumb.
"Waste of review because that was absolutely plumb," Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Change in the attack
Travis Head has ball in hand for his first over of this innings.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: We have a review!
Nathan Lyon gets a play and miss from Babar Azam but it's given not out.
Australia review.
The first replay shows the ball very close to the bat as Marnus Labuschagne starts to bizarrely high-five his teammates before any conclusive evidence.
Hot spot and snicko produce nothing and the decision stays.
Australia vs Pakistan LIVE: Into the final hour
The drinks break ends and we're back at 2-41.
Kerry O'Keeffe predicts on Fox Cricket if Pakistan are six wickets down at stumps then the game is over. If they're two wickets down, "Australia are in deep do-do".
