They’ve dropped their best batsman in Babar Azam and their best pacers in Shaheen and Naseem.
Can’t wait to see the ball still doing nothing on day 10 of that pitch. I guess it’s more likely something will happen on it than just going out there on the newer pitch.

Just saw Babar, Afridi and Shah dropped as well, apparently neither captain or coach were involved in those selection decisions which seems a bit crazy to me. Three of their best players albeit out of form.

Anyone shed any light on why virtually nobody turned up to watch the 1st test? Pakistan being a cricket-mad country it was very surprising to me.
Pakistan sucks as a cricket team right now.
The pitch was crap.
People don’t really have the time to watch tests.
Leach 10fer day one is on.
Would rather have Pakistan play their shots rather than block. There’s always going to be a delivery with your name on it in these sorta wickets
Pitch at least offered some turn, though it was so slow you’d expect close to 500 scores again. Impressed with Carse’s accuracy.
I’ve missed England batting collapses…

This is a classic
Wouldn’t mind it if I were an England fan.
High risks , high rewards philosophy is just what it is. Sometimes it comes off , sometimes it doesn’t.
Well this should be an interesting test.
Assume it’s all Olly Pope’s fault

Too many dropped catches England.
Curtains for England. Might be wrapped up 1-1 today.
Too little too late for India.
Looking at an innings defeat especially after the bonehead mistake by the idiot Virat

231-3 is hardly a disaster. They have every chance of saving the match.
