Your man Babar will be key. They only need to bat until about 30 mins after tea.

Didn't know a Macewell train existed tbh.
He's a perfectly fine 5th bowler of course, and in these conditions a little better than that though I'd never select him in a 4-man attack. This is a better role for him than that ridiculous England 3rd test, though it also requires him to score runs - he's looked a long way short of this so far.
I guess I should register that when NZ first picked Colin De Grandhomme I also thought that was dumb and not a real role; but it worked. I thought if they were insistent on selecting CDG then he should bat 6 and be a batsman first. Instead CDG managed to be a good selection as pretty close to a 50/50 bowler/batter*, he exceeded 'bits and pieces' level though of course never reached 'genuine test all-rounder selectable in either discipline'. If that's the aim for Macewell then he needs to bat a lot better... for which I have some scepticism given how he struggled with the pace of even Matthew Potts on that England tour.
* though the balance shifted in different conditions.

Tbh the Pakistani people are a strong willed bunch. Sensitive toothpaste should be reserved for sensitive Australians.
