"This is the real Pakistan"- Fans roast Pakistan after their collapse against Australia in Lahore Test

Twitter reactions for Pakistan's collapse in the 3rd Test.

A sudden middle-order collapse resulted in Pakistan ending up all out for 268 in their first innings of the third Test against Australia in Lahore. At one stage, with 248/3 on the scoreboard, the hosts looked to be well on course to post a decent total in response to Australia's 391.

However, ace Australian pacer Mitchell Starc (4/33) bowled a magnificent spell and dismissed Fawad Alam (13) and Mohammad Rizwan (1) in quick succession to open the flood gates for his side.

Soon, Australian captain Pat Cummins also joined the party and ensured Starc's efforts did not go in vain. The right-arm pacer scalped the wickets of Sajid Khan, Nauman Ali, and Hasan Ali in the lower order to pick up his first five-wicket haul on Pakistan soil.

Pakistan cricket fans were extremely disappointed after witnessing their team losing their last seven wickets for just 20 runs. They trolled the Pakistan middle and lower-order batters on Twitter for putting on a dismal show. Some also hailed Cummins and Starc for putting on a masterclass of reverse swing bowling

"It's great to have Starc at the other end" - Pat Cummins after picking up 5-fer against PAK at Lahore

Australian captain Pat Cummins was all praise for Mitchell Starc, who provided crucial breakthroughs for the team to give them an edge in the contest.

Speaking at stumps on Day 3, Pat Cummins revealed that his team bowled well throughout the day but did not pick wickets early on. However, their persistence to keep bowling in tight channels with intensity eventually bore fruit. In this regard, Cummins said:

"We bowled really well but didn't quite get the rewards. The message was just to hang in there. We got that breakthrough through Starc. This wicket does not have a lot of bounce so we thought we could hit the top of stumps."

"We will sit back, bat tomorrow and we have given ourselves a real good opportunity and we are ahead of the game. It's great to have Starc at the other end. As a captain, I have so many options to throw the ball to."

At stumps, Australia were 11 for no loss in the second innings and have extended their lead to 134 runs.
