I'm kind of disappointed they haven't had a guess at what he bowls.

For those who can still watch, what's been happening?
Pitch is flat. Anderson and Broad have bowled decent areas but got nothing out of it. Tremlett looked underdone. Not much turn for Swann either.

Nice understatement. You didn't need Nostradamus to predict who wouldbe the biggest threat, so you make damn sure they can read him. One would have thought. Perhaps they thought he wouldn't be a threat here because he didn't run through them in England 18 months ago, which is on a par with Keith Fletcher writing off Kumble before the infamous 1992/93 tour after watching him in SA.

Not very intelligent, and it's probably cost us the match.

Two spinners is looking a better approach on these tracks as well.

Total domination by the Pakistanis.

England being showed up as the most mediocre #1 team since... well, India. But before that...

If it's any comfort, it could have been worse for England. Imagine if Warner had been opening for Pakistan.

Hmm perhaps, Monty was doing okay in the warm-up games. Would've been a big decision though, dropping a very good player for a very poor one purely on conditions.

Pakistan have three.

Well played Pakistan but could have been better..Prior and Swanne were gifted runs..

Still feel England scored 100 runs more than they should have... Pakistan has to look to bat England out of this match and bat once...even if they are to chase 140 on the 5th day, its 1-0 to England.
