152-6

I knew Pakistan cricket had fallen off a cliff but this is just ridiculous

[RichC]

That pitch is a shocker. Almost 1400 runs from the first innings.

I watched this - Pakistan blew this - Short and simple

[Deano]

But yeah, pitch has been awful - Same venue for the second test

i wonder what odds you would have got on England winning by an innings + at the end of the first Pakistan innings

[Buzzo]

Amazed that there is a result in this game.

After the first ball of their second innings, you just knew - they were woeful

I hadnt realised what bad form they are in overall. Lost a home series to Bangladesh. Lost a T20 to the USA... They must have thought they were home and hosed after the first innings.

I get what you mean but that pitch is terrible - It will be a 9 day wicket tomorrow

India bowled out for 46 v New Zealand

[Yozza]

Last Pak v Eng test set up nicely
Need competitive games before the Ashes….

Left the house this morning England were 70-1

Just got to my desk... 98-5

According to the BBC commentary it's a doozer of a wicket as expected but England have played some poor shots...
