I did say before the series, a spin v spin type contest is a better bet for Pakistan than a road where England's batting will just overpower theirs.

Looked stone dead, I get why he'd review but it was plumb.

England doing enough to just about stay in the game, but hard to see them chasing anything over 200 on this.

What's max England can chase? Maybe 220

Anything in that 180-220 range would certainly be fun to watch because you suspect that England would try to chase that down in the session to try and "outrace" the conditions so to speak.

Tbf I can't begrudge that approach here. There's no point scratching around on such an unpredictable surface and it's not as though England have percentage type players. Just look to take smart attacking options

Yeah, it's the sort of thing they could whizz to 2 down or get bowled out for 80. I suspect the latter....

England are barely clinging on, but clinging on nonetheless.

Problem is a jammy 40 from any of their lower order will probably take it out of reach.

Yeah I didn't really have an issue with England still trying to attack a lot in the first innings. It's just the plans they had for attacking which I thought were dumb. Less forceful drives down the ground, more sweeps/reverse sweeps is what they needed.
