Australia Will Probably Be Eyeing 450-ish Lead Against Pakistan, Says Mark Taylor

World Test Championship: Former Australia captain Mark Taylor believes the current World Test Championship holders will be likely eyeing a lead of 450 runs against Pakistan after ending day three’s play with a lead of 300 runs.

On day three at the Optus Stadium, Australia bowled out Pakistan for 271 and ended the play at 84/2 in 33 overs, with Steve Smith (43 not out) and Usman Khawaja (34 not out) unbeaten at the crease.

"I think they'll feel very comfortable if they make another 100 and get 400 (runs) in front, but I reckon they'll probably be eyeing 450-ish. 150 runs could take some time, to the middle of the day tomorrow."
