Out or not out?
Original decision was out (lbw )
But 3rd umpire also gave out, even though there is some line detected in the ultraedge.

I think England's top order is better, plus they have a better 'keeper and spinner. Pakistan bat (much) deeper and have a better pace attack.

May used to average 49 in the 50s before his abscess finished his career, which is insane considering May's home wickets were hell-ish, the type of wet or green wickets May averaged 49 on are rarely ever produced even now, the type of wickets he played on are akin to the India vs South Africa series wickets, or the recent Pakistan vs West Indies series. so while the averages are similar, one did it in the flattest era of the game while one did it in the hardest since the first world war, there's no comparison.
