Just saw the score on cricinfo. What has happened to England. Are the Pakistanis throwing hand grenades?

They've bowled really well, though the spinners have been canny and disciplined rather than unplaybable. It's just been your common or garden collapse really, the kind where a player comes in with the innings crashing and suddenly can't play. Adnan took a great catch of meh legside delivery too.

England will lose, or at best draw this series. That will mark the beginning of the end for their India-like period of "blow smoke up our own arses, we've been good for18 months" which their supporters on here have fallen for so easily.

Pakistan being Pakistan, they'll fall by the way side, as will the chokers in SA. India are on the slide too. SL and NZ don't feature in this discussion because they're SL and NZ.

Looks like we'll rightly be number one again by the end of 2013, most likely for a good 6-8 years too.

If there was a situation I'd pick Morgan for, this would be it. Hopefully next time I can check the score he's still in.

Still can't believe it though, left the house after watching the first 20 minutes and Strauss & Cook looked comfortable. Expected them both to still be in tbh.

Yeah, true.

The lunch break will have done some good too - coming into the middle of a collapse, so much batting rationality goes out of the window. They can start again and find there's really not that much to fear.

Would be just like Pakistan to let England off the hook from here and drop a few catches ITBT.

Pakistan owning at the moment. Great bowling, but poor batting, England haven't acclimatised to the pitch. Several of the dismissals involved misreading the length.

Ajmal has been superb though :D

Why have they let the pressure off after lunch by bowling Gul?

Bit like Smith bringing on Tahir against Sri lanka in the opening session, giving the batsman what he would like to face rather than what has done the damage.

Nah, its not a bad move. He's been brought on for Morgan. Could've easily paid off. Should probably take him off now though.

Pakistan have definitely done their homework.
