Hayden, Ponting lift Australia after early loss
SHARJAH: Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting stretched their second wicket partnership to 175 runs Saturday as Australia continued its domination over Pakistan by advancing on to 179 for one at tea on the opening day of the
third and final test. The duo had lifted Australia to 89 for one with an unbroken second wicket partnership of 85 runs at lunch. Winning the toss and opting to bat, Australia lost opener Justin Langer in the fifth ball of the opening over from Pakistani skipper Waqar Younis with the score at four.
Younis bowled Langer with a faster inswinger after the left hander had made four but Australia prevented further wickets with some fine batting from Hayden and Ponting. Hayden is unbeaten on 86 with 11 fours and two sixes as
he moved closer to his second successive century. The strapping left hander stroked a momenumental 119 in the second test which Australia won by an innings and 198 runs with Pakistan being bowled out for record lows of 59
and 53. Ponting has struck nine boundaries and a six in his undefeated 85, having shrugged off a blow to his jaw when a Mohammed Sami delivery did not rise as expected. Australia has taken an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series,
with Pakistan bowled out for 59 and 53 in the second test. Pakistan brought in Mohammed Sami for the injured Shoaib Akhtar and Imran Farhat for Abdul Razzaq who is out for six weeks due to a fractured wrist. Both teams
observed a minute's silence at the start of the match in memory of the victims _ many of them Australians _ of the bomb attacks in the Indonesian island of Bali last week.

Hayden, Ponting near centuries in final Test
SHARJAH: Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting were on the verge of scoring centuries as Australia headed towards a big score in the final cricket Test against Pakistan here on Saturday. The pair put on 175 for the unbroken second wicket after Justin Langer was bowled by Pakistani captain Waqar Younis with the fifth delivery of the match.
Australia, resuming after lunch at 89-1, took a heavy toll of the tiring Pakistani attack to reach 179 without further loss at tea on the opening day. Left-handed Hayden, who made 119 in the second Test here, was unbeaten at the break on 86. Ponting, a centurion in the first Test played in Sri Lanka, was batting on 85. Hayden has so far hit 11 boundaries, besides two sixes off spinners Danish Kaneria and Saqlain Mushtaq, to come closer to a second successive hundred.
Ponting has nine fours and a six to his name despite being hurt on the jaw by a delivery from seamer Mohammad Sami which did not rise as expected. After Steve Waugh won the toss and elected to take first strike, Langer played over a swinging ball from Waqar to give Pakistan an encouraging start. But the slow wicket at the Sharjah cricket stadium posed no terror for the batsmen and Hayden and Ponting settled in to tame the injury-hit Pakistani attack.
Both teams wore black arm-bands and observed a minute's silence before play in memory of those killed in the devastating car bomb attack in Bali last week. Cheering the runs were officers and crew of the Australian warship, HMS Arunta, which is on a peacetime mission in the area and is currently docked in nearby Port Rashid. The seamen were guests of the Australian team which visited the warship on Thursday. Pakistan made three changes from the side that lost the second Test inside two days. Imran Farhat came in for opener Imran Nazir, while middle-order batsman Hasan Raza and Sami replaced the injured Abdul Razzaq and Shoaib Akhtar. Australia, who hold a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series, retained the same team. Even though conditions were not as stifling as in the previous Test, match referee Clive Lloyd allowed players to return to the dressing room during the drinks breaks taken every 45 minutes.
