Australia Chief Selector George Bailey ruled out any speculations around Cameron Bancroft being sidelined from the Test squad because of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
Australia's opening batter Usman Khawaja revealed that David Warner's behaviour before he received a one-year ban because of ball tampering came down much to the team's instructions.
The hosts found themselves at 16/4 following a memorable spell from the Pakistan pacers. However, Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh pulled Australia back into the game by stitching up a partnership of 153 runs.
Mitchell Marsh talked about the emotions that he was going through during his match-saving knock of 96 on Day 3 of the second Test against Pakistan on Thursday at the MCG.
