Australia face Pakistan in final Test today

SYDNEY, Jan 02 (AFP): Australia opted Tuesday against playing a second spinner in the final Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday, naming an unchanged line-up for David Warner's farewell match.

Skipper Pat Cummins confirmed Australia's fast-bowling trio had all recovered well from the second Test in Melbourne four days ago after clinching the three-match series with a tense 79-run win.

Pakistan have made two changes. There is a Test debut for Saim Ayub, who will open the innings replacing Imam-Ul-Haq while senior fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has been left out for off-spinner Sajid Khan.

"We've learned the lessons, at least we've put ourselves in those positions from where we could compete in or dominate games," Pakistan captain Shan Masood said Tuesday
