The only batsman to show resistance against the Aussie pacers was Sami Aslam who scored 22 off 100 balls courtesy only two boundaries.
Otherwise, no batsman was able to cope with the extra pace and bounce as soon as the lights were on in Brisbane.
Babar Azam (19 off 41) was the second batsman to enter double figures before edging one to third slip off Josh Hazlewood.

However, Misbah's defense was impenetrable on the hat-trick ball.

‘Pakistan’s fast-bowlers lacked planning against Australia’
Peter Handscomb, Smith's overnight partner, completed his maiden ton in only his second Test on day two but couldn't build on it and was bowled by Wahab on 105 off 240 balls.
