Aamir Jamal shines as Australia set momentous task for Pakistan

• Australia all out after scoring 487.
• David Warner scores defiant 164.
• Shaheen Afridi bags 2 wickets for 96.

PERTH: Test debutant Aamer Jamal took six wickets as Pakistan bowled out Australia for 487 on the second day of the opening Test in Perth on Friday.

The hosts resumed on 346-5 after opener David Warner scored a defiant 164 on the opening day, with Mitchell Marsh on 16 and Alex Carey 15.

An untroubled Marsh looked destined for a fourth Test ton, but he was bowled by paceman Khurram Shahzad for 90 on the first ball after lunch.

Shahzad ended with 2-83, but fellow debutant Jamal stole the spotlight with 6-111.

Pakistan have never won a Test series in Australia and have failed to win a Test in the country since 1995.

Aamir Jamal's six-fer

Meanwhile, pacer Jamal became the 14th Pakistan to achieve a 5-wicket haul on his debut.

Jamal finished with 6 for 111 on day 2 of the Perth Test as Australia was bowled out for 487, moments after lunch.

Before Jamal, Arif Butt, Mohammad Nazir, Shahid Nazir, Mohammad Zahid, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Yasir Arafat, Wahab Riaz, Tanvir Ahmed, Bilal Asif, Nauman Ali and Abrar Ahmed had also taken a five-wicket haul on their Test debuts.

Jamal is also the only 2nd Pakistani after Arif Butt to achieve this feat on Australian soil. Butt had claimed this feat at Melbourne in 1964.
