Brisbane: Australia declared at 202 for five to set Pakistan 490 runs to win the day-night first Test on the third day at the Gabba on Saturday.

Skipper Steve Smith made the declaration during the dinner break heading into the tricky twilight final session under lights.

Usman Khawaja scored 74 and captain Steve Smith smashed 63 off 70 balls as the home side sought to bat Pakistan out of the game after declining to enforce the follow-on on a steamy day at the Gabba.

Peter Handscomb was unbeaten on 35 and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade on one before Smith’s declaration.

Pakistan’s batsmen face a stiff task to keep their wickets in the evening session with the pink ball at its most devilish.

Pakistan were bowled out for 142 before tea, 287 runs short of Australia’s first innings 429.
