Ian Gould and Richard Illingworth thought Australia wanted to bowl Pakistan out on the fourth day based on an earlier conversation they had with Steven Smith

Captain Misbah-ul-Haq credited a change in mindset and their determined character for Pakistan's incredible turnaround in the Gabba Test

History nearly repeated itself as Australia looked like they would lose yet another Test from a position of complete control

Australia took the extra extra half hour, much after the scheduled close, in anticipation of a win. But at the end of an everlasting gobsmacker of a day, Pakistan dared to dream

Australia's assistant coach, David Saker, has questioned the wisdom of an extra half hour being taken on the fourth evening at the Gabba as Australia sought in vain to wrap up victory over Pakistan.

Pakistan's first-innings failings under the Gabba lights didn't augur well for their second attempt. But they found a new resolve to fight another day

When Peter Handscomb danced down the pitch and lofted Yasir Shah over long-on for the first six of Australia's innings, you wouldn't have believed he was on the verge of a maiden Test century

Peter Handscomb has looked nerveless; Nic Maddinson has appeared nervous. They debuted together in Adelaide, but could hardly have had more different experiences at the Test level

Steven Smith said he did edge the ball to the wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed when he was on 97 but felt it was a bizarre that nothing came off it

Two years on from his Gabba Test debut, Josh Hazlewood has become a leader for Australia, both on the field and off it

Usman Khawaja was a young child when moved to Sydney from Islamabad with his family; now he's set to play his first Test match against the country of his birth

Nathan Lyon has said Test cricket should be kept "as traditional as possible with the odd pink ball game"

The offspinner has set his sights on hitting the splice of the bats, and bringing the close-in catchers into play in the day-night Test in Brisbane

Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur has said the speed with which his team "adapt to conditions" could determine the direction of the Test series against Australia

Five years after his coaching debut with Australia, Mickey Arthur is back at the Gabba. This time as the coach of Australia's opponents
