Welcome back to a still overcast, but slightly better-looking Abu Dhabi. The clouds are still hovering but there is a significant patch of blue as well. The drizzle has stopped completely.

... DAY 4, FINAL SESSION ??? ...

What now for Australia? They have got a good whole hour to ponder on what to do. Nothing much can be expected from the tail-enders, except maybe a bit of a rearguard action. Could they hang around to help Labuschagne get to his 50? Then probably his century? If they do that, it could put some healing on the wounds. Join us back at 1330 local (0930 GMT) for all the action from the second session.

Just as we thought that Abbas would be the sole wicket taker today, Yasir Shah joined the party towards the end of the session with two scalps to his name. With the way the pitch is turning, he might be the sole obstacle in Abbas' path to get a fifer.

Australia started Day 4 nicely, scoring runs in boundaries. They scored 24 runs in 6 overs before the deadly spell of Mohammad Abbas came about. He struck in his 4th over and got 4 wickets in the space of 18 balls. At that point of time, it looked like the Aussies would get rolled over in the first session itself but Mitchell Starc and Marnus Labuschagne got a decent partnership going.

What a session. 33 overs, 108 runs and 6 WICKETS. Given the way Abbas was bowling, it looked like we will never have a second session at all.
