<p>In-form Younis Khan continued his imperious form with a double hundred to pulverise Australia on the second day of the second Test here today.<br /><br /></p>.<p>At the break, Younis was not out on 205 for his fifth double ton and with him Asad Shafiq not out on one as Pakistan reached 517-4 at tea on a flat Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch.<br />Younis hit Glenn Maxwell for a towering six and in the spinner's next over took a single to complete 200.<br /><br />He has so far hit 14 boundaries and two sixes during his dominating 344-ball knock.<br />When on 181, Younis completed 8,000 runs in his 93rd Test, becoming the third Pakistani batsmen to reach the milestone behind Javed Miandad (8832) and Inzamam-ul Haq (8829). In all 28 batsmen in the world have scored 8,000 or more Test runs.<br /><br />Misbah also completed his hundred with a reverse sweep off Maxwell, taking 166 balls for the mark before he gave a return catch to Steve Smith.<br /><br />Misbah hit ten boundaries and a six and added 181 runs with Younis to further hit Australia badly.<br /><br />With a big first innings total in sight Pakistan can now hope of clinching their first series win over Australia since 1994. They won the first Test by 221 runs in Dubai.<br />The Younis-Misbah stand flourished in the afternoon as Australian bowlers toiled hard in the morning session to get only one wicket of Azhar Ali (109).<br /><br />Pakistan added 101 in an extended two-and-a-half hours session due to Friday prayers after resuming at 304-2.<br /><br />Younis added 236 with Ali which erased the previous highest third wicket stand against Australia of 223 held by Javed Miandad and Taslim Arif from a 1980 match in Faisalabad.<br />Australia had another unusually sloppy day in the field as David Warner failed to hold a sharp chance at point from Younis's push off paceman Mitchell Johnson in the third over of the day.
