Coverdale: One session, many records
A trio of wickets to Nathan Lyon gave Australia a glimmer of hope for victory over a bedraggled Pakistan as the Boxing Day Test veered into the home stretch on day five at the MCG.
Lyon is under immense pressure for his place in the Australian side, but his dismissals of Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq in the space of three balls, followed up by that of Asad Shafiq, put the hosts within five wickets of an unlikely win with Pakistan still well short of the tally required to make them bat again. Pete Handscomb took a pair of excellent catches at short leg to dismiss Younis and Shafiq.
