I think their soil is different to India's. Pakistan is inherently a less spin-friendly country despite being Asian

Pakistan are going to crumble again. I be honest i didn't expect this i thought the two would bat for a long long time has they looked solid
Done very nicely so far but I still can't shift the image of him having figures of 1-120 in Australia but getting praised for running in all day.

Pakistan might seriously regret not having another pace bowler here.

SA is more seaming/less bouncy than Aus for a while, how has Shakeel been in Aus?

An interesting question to ask would be - how many venues around the world use their natural soil? Do any?

I don't think they're good enough to score faster on a surface this slow.

Duckett normally great at catching.
I'm actually surprised to see I'm about the same height as him. He looks 5 ft 4.

Yep definitely looks like the sort of pitch that won't get any faster and so the spinners won't be that effective as it will be low and slow.
So really going to be reverse swing that creates the chances.

Yeah I'm 5ft8 too and I'm not having that he's my height. He looks 5ft5. Anyone else there and it's probably out. Kamran has been a lucky boy today.

A completely unprecedented situation in Pakistan, I believe.

Yeah. You expect subcontinent sides to atleast keep taking singles. Pakistan don't seem to have that in their batting game.
