Jeez, how many miles outside the line does it have to be before you can overturn the on-field decision?

Have to admire Pakistan's grit in scratching their way to decent totals. Remarkable contrast from a few years back when they used to collapse for no apparent reason

Yes we needed that,I don't think it should really be out but just knew it was going to be umpires call.

This is one thing I really don't like about UDRS in its current format. I don't really have a problem with that being given out if it was to be every time - in fact I quite like that - but the umpire is going to give that not out at least 80% of the time and the decision will stand.

It's not a massive deal because without UDRS the decision would've been exactly the same, so it's certainly not creating any more errors (which is why it's how it is I imagine) but we're still slaves to the on-field umpires making wrong calls.

This isn't something you could criticise UDRS for if the argument you were making was that we were better off with no technology, because we get the same result either way there, but it's something in the system we should be looking to improve IMO.

So predictions/suggestions I gave after the 1st test match were.

Umar Akmal > Asad Shafiq
Panesar > Tremlett
Morgan > Finn or Bopara.
Junaid/Riaz > Cheema

Things going pretty well so far.. Shafiq just had a brainfart as bad as Umar Akmal. Panesars been pretty helpful or 'very' helpful as a support/Abdur Rahman type bowler

Anderson saying "That's not our second new ball. That's the one we set aside as our fourth new ball."

lol... they marked their ball.....?

Well Pakistan scoring incredibly slow and lose a wicket at the wrong time....don't know how the wicket is but 300 is a must for Pak to stay in the game...

What I don't like is how hitting in line can flash up 'Umpire's Call'. It either hit him in line or it didn't.
