Abdullah Shafique walks back to the hut. - Cricket Australia Pakistan openers bagged an unwanted record on the first day of the third Test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.Openers Abdullah Shafique and debutant Saim Ayub were both dismissed for a duck in the first innings. Also, this was the first time in Test history, a calendar year has started with both openers falling for a duck. Earlier, Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and chose to bat under sunny skies. This is the 112th Test match at the venerable SCG and also the 112th and final Test for Australia opening batter David Warner.After months of speculation about his place in the team, Warner will get the send-off he desired in his home city.Warner, 37, goes into his final Test having plundered 8,695 runs at an average of 44.58, with 26 centuries and 36 half-centuries.Australia have clinched the three-match series with a tense 79-run win in the second Test in Melbourne over Christmas.The Sydney Test has a history of being rain-affected, with 26 washed-out days, the most of the Australian Test venues. But there is only a medium chance of showers this week.TeamsAustralia: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh HazlewoodPakistan: Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood (capt), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, Sajid Khan, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza, Aamer Jamal Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ:پاور بال آن لائن خریداری
