What's new

England finish Day 2 on 92/4 in response to Pakistan’s first-innings total of 326

Watch out for Poms umpires they will try their best to get umpire calls for England, so we are up against almost 13 players, thanks goodness for three reviews and tech.
 
Unless the umpire though it hit the bat, it was poor stuff.
 
Perfect start. Not sure what was wrong with it in the first place ?!
 
Naseem should be used with new ball , in short burst . Three overs at full pace , look to get wicket . Just give him ball , and tell him to show the batsmen he means business
 
How could you not give that out on first look?! That was dead!
 
This would be a tough series to win with that kind of umpiring!

I know we've got reviews but there are so many marginal calls that are at the mercy of their discretion.

Clearly biased impairing
 
Did Shaheen just swing it back into Burns guys???? Am I dreaming???������

Shows Pakistan have done their homework - Burns is an LBW risk because of how far across that front pad goes.
 
Now Abbas needs to provide his metronomic accuracy at the other end.
 
Sibley likes playing thru legside so pakistan bowlers need to keep attacking outside off stump.
 
Abbas has lost pace and he didn't have much to begin with, last tour he was consistently at 130 and now he is more around 128-127. Injury isn't an excuse this time. Seems like a combination of age and bad work ethics.
 
The one he Kettleborough should have given out straight away he didn't and thenone he shouldn't he gives only to be reversed both times in favour of both the teams.
 
Umpire should've given that one not out, and the Burns LBW out the first time.
 
Right now, I'd love to watch Smith vs Shaheen, Kohli vs Shaheen in Test cricket against the new ball. Shaheen is making the ball talk.
 
Shaheen's getting late swing. England batsmen under early pressure.
