LIVE: Pakistan in Deep Trouble as Aussie Spin Wizard Topples Superstar Babar

Pakistan's batting lineup crumbled against Australia's Nathan Lyon, with the spin wizard dismissing star batter Babar Azam for a duck.

Pakistan's hopes of a strong start to the second Test in Karachi took a major blow as they lost three wickets in the first session, including that of their star batter Babar Azam.

Nathan Lyon, Australia's premier spinner, was the wrecker-in-chief, dismissing Azam for a duck with a beautiful delivery that turned sharply and clipped the top of the off-stump.

Azam's dismissal was a big blow to Pakistan, as he is their leading run-scorer and one of the best batters in the world.

Pakistan went into the second Test with a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, but Australia's bowlers have made a strong start to the match and will be looking to level the series.

The second Test is taking place in Karachi, and the pitch is expected to favor the spinners. Lyon has already shown his class on this pitch, and he will be a key figure in Australia's hopes of winning the match.

Pakistan will need to find a way to counter Lyon's threat if they want to maintain their lead in the series.
