Can Lyon hit 500 wickets milestone today?
Nathan Lyon is now sitting on 497 wickets and is comfortably third in Australia’s all-time list for most wickets after getting a major scalp yesterday with opener Abdullah Shafique.
With another hot day due in Perth, he will be hoping to find some success with the ball, the question is, can he break down this stubborn Pakistan batting lineup that will soon include the often imperious Babar Azam and hit this major milestone today?
It will add to another intriguing narrative for today.

Poll: How many runs can Pakistan get today?
Welcome to day three
Hello and a warm welcome to day three of the Perth Test.
My name is Jonathan Drennan and I am taking guard at the crease after a stellar two days from my colleague Dan Walsh.
It’s going to be another hot day at Optus Stadium and hopefully, we will see a bit more movement on the pitch for Australia’s seam attack and Nathan Lyon to get some wickets after a stoical performance from Pakistan with the bat.
Iman-ul-Haq is taking the slow and steady approach to this contest, scoring a glacial 38 off 136 balls. He will be joined at the crease by nightwatchman Khurram Shahzad who did his job yesterday after the late wicket of captain Shan Masood.
Malcolm Conn and Dan Brettig are on deck in Perth and I’m here until stumps, play begins at 1.20pm AEDT.
The sun is shining, it’s summer and the cricket is on. Where else would you rather be?
