Pakistan openers were solid in the opening session after opting to bat.

Hafeez looked in good form in his comeback game.

Imam-ul-Haq at the other end appeared solid as the duo batted through the first two sessions.

Hafeez brought up his tenth Test century.

Imam and Hafeez were dismissed following their 205-run opening partnership.

Azhar Ali threw his wicket away with just 20 balls left for stumps.

Pakistan finished at 255/3 at stumps but Australia will be hoping for Starc to be completely fit on the second day.
