they missed it quite a few times in the first test as well.

management should file a complaint.
 
Not in just series, but in many series no balls have now been missed alot.

I think it might be a new icc regulation which allow umpires to not act very strict on no balls and concentrate more on the front view(batsmen playing)...

Its very difficult to shift vision as the ball releases from hand and reaches to the batsmen quite quickly
 
What happened to the technology they used in England?
 
What technology was used?

Front-foot no-balls will be called by the third umpire in the upcoming England-Pakistan one-day international series, as part of an International Cricket Council (ICC) trial scheme.

The TV umpire will have a split-screen view of the four side-on cameras.

This will allow him to signal the on-field officials via a vibrating watch within a few seconds of the delivery.

On-field umpires will not call front-foot no-balls without the TV umpire's advice unless cameras are unavailable.

The five-match series, which begins in Southampton on Wednesday, will be the first in which the third umpire has been given such authority.

The advance of technology in recent years has meant that unless the overstepping is very clear, international umpires have often tended to wait until a wicket falls before checking whether a no-ball has been delivered, and asking the dismissed batsman to wait before walking off.

This has led to accusations that some bowlers were getting away with entire overs of marginal no-balls.

Adrian Griffith, the ICC's senior manager of umpires and referees, said: "This trial is being carried out to ascertain if there is a way in which front-foot no-balls can be called more accurately and consistently, while also assessing the TV umpire's workload and identifying the impact it will have on the flow of the game.

"The ICC will conduct training sessions with the umpires and match referee in Southampton on Monday and Tuesday."
 
Can't wait till the day they completely replace umpires with technology, they get paid too much and they still make errors, at least tech would be extremely reliable and error free.
 
The umpires seem to be missing most of the no-balls now. Gabriel just got away with two more in an over...
 
I wonder if there some miss communication going and they expect the third umpire to be watching out for them?
 
They should be adding on the runs at the end of the day, if they miss them during the innings. Surely that's a good way of moving things in the right direction [be it temporarily].
 
They aren't missing no-balls, they've just stopped caring about them.

Every once in a while they decide to look down and if they think the bowler is really getting close to bowling a no-ball, they decide to focus entirely.

If they actually were looking down, there is no way they could've missed those huge no-balls.

The third umpire probably told them today that they've missed a few which is why they started focusing and started calling no-balls later on.

This was in the last hour of play.

I don't understand why they don't just implement the method they tried out last year. Seems like the ideal thing to do which would also allow the umpire to stop worrying about the front foot so that he can focus more on LBWs, etc.
 
With wickets being checked for no balll a lot of no balls are gone unpunished

They need to go back to this.
 
Shocking number of errors and absolutely no excuse for this.

To miss the occasional one is ok but to miss so many is just incompetent.
