Pakistan's batting collapses hurt them
Pakistan's newly-appointed Test skipper Azhar Ali won the toss and elected to bat first.
The skipper, along with the fellow opener, Shan Masood, battled through the first session and kept things under control. Their valiant effort meant Pakistan hadn't lost a single wicket in the first innings. As the second session started, the Australian pace attack came together to dismiss four Pakistan batsmen for just three runs.
From 75 for 0, Pakistan found themselves at 78 for four as the wickets of Masood (27 runs), Azhar Ali (39 runs), Haris Sohail (1 run), and Babar Azam (1 run) fell in the period of seven overs. Iftikhar Ahmed (7 runs) was the next man to go as the tourists found themselves reeling at 94 for 5.

— Ten Sports Pakistan (@TenPakistan) November 18, 2019Through this tough phase, Asad Shafiq kept his calm, and once Mohammad Rizwan arrived at the crease, the duo got together for an important stand of 49 runs. When Rizwan was dismissed for 37, Shafiq and Yasir Shah had no other option than to bat responsibly and carry the score. The duo did exactly that as they stitched a stand of 84 runs.
Shah contributed 26 runs while Shafiq at the other end was determined enough to get past his 50. Pakistan's score also went past the 200 barrier.
Nathan Lyon says he was "really surprised" by the omission of Mohammad Abbas from the first #AUSvPAK Test, adding it speaks volumes about the quality of Pakistan's other bowlers https://t.co/5BIwBLklGv pic.twitter.com/t5CNn3jwJQ

One of the wickets was of Asad Shafiq, who had scored 76 runs by then. Finally, the tourists were dismissed for 240 runs. Stumps were called after the fall of the last wicket, and Australia will come to face the Pakistan quicks on day two. For Australia, Mitchell Starc was the star of the day with four wickets while Pat Cummins picked up three wickets. Nathan Lyon could get only one scalp while Jos Hazelwood got two
