Australian opener Usman Khawaja missed out on a century in the country of his birth by three runs on Sunday as his side made a strong response to Pakistan on Day Three of the first Test in Rawalpindi. 

Bad light stopped play and then rain poured down with Australia on 271-2, trailing Pakistan by 205 runs with eight wickets remaining after the home side declared on Saturday at 476-4.  Marnus Labuschagne was on 69 and Steve Smith 24. With rain forecast for the last two days, a result is unlikely.
