Australian team hold on to heroic draw and Pakistan could do nothing. What was appearing at the start of the last of 1st Test match a easy wickets for Pakistan ended up in draw. It was great salvation for Australia by Khawaja who smashed a first century in Asia and helped Australia. He faced 302 balls for his 141, and stayed at the crease for eight hours and 44 minutes.

His epic time on the crease puts him in the front and made a memorable innings, which helped one of the greatest drawn in Australian test history and emerge for the Kangaroos as a hero.
Sarfraz failed to deliver victory to Pakistan, where he appeared bit reluctant to bring Wahab and Yasir. His defensive strategy brought him draw to test which could have been 0-1. He was in very good position in the beginning but as day passed Australian tail endears stood on ground and delivered to their teammates drawn which was far away from them in the start of the day.
Australian captain, Tim Paine will remember as a tough match, however he should be proud of his boys who played some outstanding cricket and achieve a draw in the end. Talking to reporters he said the result has fiven him a immense happiness because of the way they fought.
Pakistan captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed said while talking to camera that he hoped to win this Test after a great performance on the first three days but credits Usman Khawaja for the way he batted at the end. He wrapped his interview by saying that they could have won the match but Test cricket is such that if your opponents play so well, the you have to give them credits.
