Now the game proper starts. England's real batting has started.
 
Could have have been 6. Strauss lucky we are so incompetent with the reviews
 
Could easily have been 6 down now, has the stupid keeper been more smart, anyways good comeback by Pakistan.
 
If we can get Strauss and prior before the close then we are right back in this game!
 
That was perhaps the first poor shot leading to a dismissal by the English batsmen so far.
 
Atherton would be a terrible umpire though, almost always gets it wrong in the combox. :))
 
Might be getting greedy but another wicket before they break even please (A)
 
Lets hope we can bat better in 2nd inns once weve bowled england out here!
 
You people are serious pessimists, I'm targetting a slim lead for Pakistan here.
 
Bell st A Akmal :))) :))) 'stumped' b Ajmal 5

More like kicked onto the stumps by Akmal :yk

Think Strauss being still there despite having been out once kind of balances luck on both sides a bit. A lot of England's dismissals have been unlucky here. The way they've gone about batting, would have thought they'd score a lot more. Much better concentration and approach (except for Bell) this time.
 
England bats have been completely owned by the Pakistan bowlers this series. Only the lower order has stodd up.
 
Come on Pakistan, two more wickets before close please, Need to get strauss out here!
 
He would have survived. Well played Misbah, well played.
 
This wickedkeeper is ruining everything! He hadd terrible mistakes in the last match and why didn't some coach sit with him and told him about how DRS works! Seriously poor stuff!
 
I don't think Misbah can be blamed for bad reviews.

Adnan Akmal is quite terrible and confused when it comes to reviewing.
 
England need to give Bopara a chance now. don't rate the guy too much, but deserves it now, and you've got to keep up that competition for places to keep the team strong. The whole batting team has done badly this series, and morgan the worst of the lot. Only fair Bopara gets a chance, and whilst he probably should have played this test, deserves to play the whole of the next series.
 
Misbah cannot be blamed for bad or good reviews. He does as he is told by the magicians

Imo, Bopara would have had half the average of Morgan in this series had he played. Could see him taking a five for though.

yeah as I said trust the bowler or the captain.

Generally our bowlers, or at least the spinners where it's more difficult to tell know whether it's out or not. The keeper goes up for anything.
