The duo led a late charge that saw
Pakistan pick up the last
five Australian wickets for 71 runs after the visitors returned from lunch at
320–5. Naseem finished with 4–58 and Shaheen with 4–79.
Until then,
Cameron Green, 79, and Alex Carey, 67, had
frustrated Pakistan in the morning session, adding an invaluable 135 for the
sixth wicket.
But the hosts came out strong after the lunch break, with
spinner Nauman Ali trapping Carey leg-before in the fourth over after the
break.
The wicketkeeper-batsman had hit seven boundaries in his
175-minute knock.
Green was bowled by Naseem after a resolute 223-minute stay
intermittently lit up by nine boundaries.
Naseem also picked up the wicket of Nathan Lyon while
Shaheen knocked over
Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Swepson.
Pakistan were looking to make early inroads at the start of
play with the second new ball only five overs in.
But Australia, who resumed at 232–5, took advantage of a
placid Gaddafi Stadium pitch to bat through 28 overs unscathed.
The first two Tests in Rawalpindi and Karachi both ended in
high-scoring.
The Lahore track has so far offered little assistance,
steering the final Test toward another stalemate.
Pakistan thought they had removed Carey for 27 when umpire
Aleem Dar gave him out caught behind off fast bowler Hasan Ali but the
Australian reviewed straight away.
The technology showed he had missed the ball, which had also
not carried to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.
Carey took full advantage of his reprieve by smashing
spinner
Sajid Khan for two boundaries before completing his third Test fifty
with a single.
Australia are on their first tour of Pakistan since 1998,
having previously refused to tour the country over security fears.
