*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

Given where we were in the first over after Pope got out, this is nigh on as good an outcome as England could have hoped. Yep, it's a road and very typical of what pitches Pakistan produce, but you have to deal with the situation as it is.

There were just signs of some lower bounce late on. I suspect Day 3 will still be flat, but could see things starting to happen on Day 4. I wouldn't rule out a result and England are still a long way behind with a slightly weakened batting unit.

Oh England are obviously still well behind, but I think the fear of a few people, myself included was that they would be a few wickets down at close. That it isn't is a bonus at this stage.

On these roads everyone would be going wicket less. Remember the first 3 days of the first test in Chennai against England in 2021? There are times when you cant conquer the conditions, no matter how good you are.

no jadeja/shami in that match. bumrah and ash bowled well. eng scored mostly vs nadeem/sundar

2024 had flattish pitches as well.

that 2021 match was the outlier due to injuries from the bgt.

no way pak make more than 350 against an indian first lineup on these pitches.

Bumarh and shami would have got revese swing. ashwin and jadeja are million times better then arbar and nouman. pak fast bowlers are useless. this pak team is medicore we would have trashed them badly

These kind of pitches definetly kill interest in test cricket. not saying preparing rank turners is right but these kind of roads kills chances of home team picking 20 wickets unless you have atg bowlers

Excuse me being too lazy to look elsewhere, but why didn't Duckett open? And do we expect him to bat tomorrow?
