Pakistan were bowled out for 89 in second innings, and Australia won by 360 runs. As match progressed, pitch developed cracks, and batters such as Marnus Labuschagne took blows to hands. But AUS' pace battery – Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc – grabbed 12 of 20 Pakistan wickets.

Issac McDonald wants to d some spice to upcoming match-up, and he is looking to leave some grass on pitch.

"It's (10 mm) a good starting point. Ten millimetres was pretty comfortable with conditions that we h (last year) and that held conditions toger nicely for first few days. Live grass on pitch is speed.
