Leeds: Headingley produced another of the extraordinary days that has littered its history as Australia were blown away for a paltry 88 before Pakistan built a lead of 60 with seven wickets in hand.
Pakistan dismissed Australia for just 88 in their first innings on the first day of the second Test at Headingley on Wednesday.
Australia, against accurate seam bowling, collapsed to their lowest Test total since being bowled out for 76 by the West Indies at Perth in 1984.
Pakistan were 148 for three and have a lead of 60 runs with 7 wickets remaining. They were right on the mark from the word go this morning and now are in a position to dictate terms to the opposition. Australia will be very disappointed with their batting which was further followed by a miserable bowling display with the new ball.
Pakistan's three frontline seamers shared the wickets, with left-armer Mohammad Aamer leading the way with three for 20, including two in the first two balls after lunch, in 11 overs.
Mohammad Asif took three for 30 in 11.1 overs and Umar Gul two for 16 in nine in overcast conditions that aided movement, but not excessively.
Tim Paine, last man out, top scored with 17 - one of only three double-figure contributions in an innings where Australia failed to cope with the swinging ball.
New Pakistan captain Salman Butt, looking to lead the side to their first Test victory over Australia since 1995, then strengthened his team's position.
Butt, who made Pakistan's only two fifties in a 150-run first Test loss at Lord's last week, made 45 and fellow left-handed opener Imran Farhat out on 43 by Watson.
Australia seamers Ben Hilfenhaus and Mitchell Johnson were not as disciplined as their Pakistan counterparts and Butt cashed in with some well-struck boundaries when they strayed onto his pads or pitched well outside off-stump.
Australia captain Ricky Ponting decided to bat first after winning the toss in cloudy conditions.
But Aamer and Asif removed both openers in quick succession to reduce Australia to 20 for two.
Left-hander Simon Katich, who made 80 and 83 at Lord's, shuffled across his stumps in typical fashion but was struck in front of off by Aamer.
Rudi Koertzen, in his last Test as an umpire, raised his finger with trademark deliberation and Katich was lbw for 13.
Katich's opening partner Shane Watson then missed an intended drive and was plumb lbw for five to an Asif ball that cut back into the right-hander.
Michael Clarke, repeatedly beaten outside off stump by Asif, got to three before he was clean bowled by Gul's ninth delivery.
Ponting, who before this match averaged over 105 at Headingley, never looked at ease.
The star batsman had struggled to six in 41 minutes when he was lbw, aiming across the line at an Asif ball that nipped back, with English umpire Ian Gould sending Ponting on his way.
Gul then had left-hander Michael Hussey lbw for five.
Butt, promoted from vice-captain after former skipper Shahid Afridi quit Tests after Lord's following just one game in charge, saw his hunch in bringing on Umar Amin rewarded.
The medium-pacer, best known as a top order batsman, took his first Test wicket when Marcus North was caught behind for 16.
Australia were 73 for six at lunch. And two balls later they were 73 for eight after Aamer bowled Steven Smith and Mitchell Johnson with swinging deliveries.
Hilfenhaus survived the hat-trick but was soon run out before Paine, in for an hour and 24 minutes, was caught behind by opposing keeper Kamran Akmal.
