AUSTRALIA v PAKISTAN, third Benaud-Qadir Trophy Test, SCG, day four.

SCORE: Pakistan 313 (Mohammad Rizwan 88, Pat Cummins 5-61) and 115 (Saim Ayub 33, Josh Hazlewood 4-16); Australia 299 (Marnus Labuschagne 60, Aamir Jamal 6-69) and 2-130 (Marnus Labuschagne 62no, Sajid Khan 2-49)

SUMMARY: After a late collapse on day three, Pakistan's last recognised batters Mohammad Rizwan and Aamir Jamal took the tourists' total into triple figures before Nathan Lyon dismissed Rizwan caught behind for a breakthrough. It was the beginning of the end for the Pakistani batting order, who were all out early in the day with a lead of only 129. David Warner's hopes of batting his final innings out with childhood friend Usman Khawaja were dashed when Khawaja was dismissed lbw on umpire's call in the first over. At 1-0, the retiring left-hander played a typical Warner innings, hitting daring shots and running between wickets like a man possessed. He and Marnus Labuschagne forged a 119-run partnership that pushed Australia to the edge of victory before Warner was dismissed lbw on review just after lunch. Labuschagne hit the winning runs to give Warner an emotional send-off and Australia a 3-0 series whitewash.

PLAYER OF THE MOMENT: Warner's final Test innings was one to remember and one played in trademark Warner style. Warner was as bold as ever, even as he was tasked with steadying the ship after the loss of Khawaja on a tough SCG deck. There were enough flamboyant Warner shots to go around, a reverse sweep of Sajid Khan for four the most notable. By the time Sajid Khan trapped him lbw, the damage had well and truly been done.

STAT OF THE DAY: David Warner retires as the fifth-most prolific run-scorer in Australia's Test history and with the country's highest unbeaten score to his name (335no).

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "It's pretty much a dream come true ... I'm proud to be with a bunch of great friends here. Their ears will get a break in the changeroom, which is great." Ever the entertainer, David Warner was cracking jokes right until the end of his Test career, but the emotion was not lost on the veteran as he spoke to Fox Cricket.
