Younis Khan brought up his 34th Test century on day three of the third Test against Australia, but Pakistan remain on the back foot in Sydney.
The tourists trail by 267 runs with two wickets remaining after reaching stumps on 271-8 following a three-hour rain delay, with Younis unbeaten on 136, which he hit off 279 balls.
The 39-year-old, who has become the first batsman to score Test centuries in 11 different countries, impressed at the crease, but his teammates fell around him.
Beneath Younis in the order, only Misbah-ul-Haq and Sarfraz Ahmed reached double figures - both 18 - but opening batsman Azhar Ali struck a 146-run partnership with today's top scorer before getting run out on 71.
Nathan Lyon dominated the field for Australia as he ended the day with figures of 3-98 from 27 overs, while Steve O'Keefe and Mitchell Starc took a wicket apiece.
Pakistan require 68 runs to avoid the follow-on.
