This is probably as conducive a wicket for bowling finger spin as one could hope for - turn and bounce on offer. So far he’s bowled alright but there’s been at least one drag down or full toss in every over
And there you go. One absolute peach and then a freebie. England can't afford these two to survive much longer.

Whatever it takes!!!
TEC is back? :-O

Anyways, like I said earlier, its not beyond the realms of possibility or even probability that this ends with a lollapse from Pak only bettered by an even worse lollapse by England.

yep, ordinary stuff this. Can spend all the time in the world working on your seam position but ultimately as a frontline finger spinner there is no excuse for not being able to land 50mphers on a dime.

Those kinds of chances need to be taken. Wasn't an easy catch at all, but England need to take every chance that comes their way.

I suspect these two are both happier facing Bess than Broad or Anderson.
I think this a classic example of Root's inability to read a situation. It's taking spin therefore we have to bowl our spinner. However, said spinner isn't actually bowling very well and we have Broad and Anderson at our disposal who would fancy their chances against these batsmen. Who, in turn, would be less confident against those guys.

EDIT
This is really poor from Bess again.

Eng gave up too big a lead for this pitch. Even a string of modest partnerships will put the target beyond their reach, considering Superman Stokes hasn't turned up for this game.
