World: South Asia

Australia set for series victory


Cricket: Australia are on the verge of their first series victory in Pakistan for thirty-nine years.

They were all out in the last over of the third and final Test in Karachi for three-hundred-and-ninety.

That leaves Pakistan chasing four-hundred-and-nineteen on the last day's play tomorrow today, Monday.

Australia already lead the series one-nil.

In Bangladesh, South Africa beat England by six wickets in the latest match in the Wills International Cup tournament.

England scored two-hundred-and-eighty-one for seven; South Africa responded with two-hundred-and eighty-three for four.
