Day 3 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground unfolded like a boxing match, both sides trading blows before Australia landed a late surge. Pakistan allowed them to.  The hosts now stand tall with a 241-run lead and 4 wickets intact. Pakistan will have a difficult task in the fourth innings with their fragility with the bat this series casting a long shadow. Against a fearsome pace attack of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood, backed by the wily spin of Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Marsh's crafty medium pace, this chase has an uphill battle written all over it. 

However, Pakistan's priority in the morning session on Day 4 will be to bowl the Aussies out without conceding too many runs. From then on, they will have to assess the situation and see how it shapes up. Pakistan will need their batters to show better application as some of their techniques have been found wanting in Australian conditions. They will surely expect their talisman, Babar Azam to step up after a string of low scores in recent times.

Amidst the tense tussle of the match, Hassan Ali, the seasoned Pakistani pacer, injected a playful spark into the atmosphere. As he stretched and warmed up, a playful echo emerged from the crowd, mimicking his movements. In a heartwarming display of sportsmanship, Hassan embraced the lighthearted moment, breaking into a few dance moves that sent ripples of laughter through the stands. The crowd copied his dance moves in what was a sensational moment.

He capped it off with a thumbs-up, and the crowd, thoroughly charmed, responded with resounding applause. The brief interlude became a testament to the unifying power of cricket, reminding everyone that even in the heat of competition, there's space for a touch of shared joy.

Hasan Ali has bowled quite well in this series and tomorrow, he will be looking to make an impact as Pakistan look to pick up the remaining wickets early.
