The Australian cricketers have a meagre 80 run lead, with just two second innings wickets in hand, heading into the fourth day of the second test against Pakistan in Sydney.
Mike Hussey was dropped three times in scoring a defiant 73 not out, as Australia finished at 286 for eight at stumps last night.
The highlight of the third day was opener Shane Watson's 97, dismissed in the nineties for the third time this summer
having scored his maiden Test hundred in Melbourne against Pakistan last month thanks to a dropped catch on 99.
Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria took 4 for 117 before limping off the SCG with an apparent leg injury.
