[Apologies - I made an editing error in cleaning up the formatting of the original and originally put "Tower ATC" instead of the correct "Approach ATC"]
It's worth repeating the ATC transcript of the first landing phase (NB, the only transcript I have seen start here, clearly halfway through a conversation):
Pilot: Sir, we are comfortable now and we are out of 3500 for 3000, established ILS 25L
Approach ATC: Copy that. Turn left heading 180
Pilot: Sir, we are established on ILS 25L
Approach ATC: Sir, you are 5 miles from touchdown, re-cleared passing 3000 for ILS
Approach ATC: Pakistan 8303 clear to land on ILS 25L
Pilot: Roger Pakistan 8303
Whether or not the 180 heading was an ignored / refused / challenged instruction or not, the approach controller undoubtedly then immediately gives a altitude change on the existing heading and a landing clearance.

Reason: Error in my editing - I'd put "Tower ATC" when it was "Approach ATC"..
