Hafeez and Akmal werent biggie as England got them soon!

Monty has always been a crappy fielder no wonder he has Asian roots ahah

LOL Pedals!

Agreed that two drops didn't cost much, but you just don't expect England to drop catches!

If you look at Andersons drop the ball comes from behind Priors pads as it turns from middle-and-leggish. That said he should still have caught it - is Anderson really the best slip fielder England have or was he having a rest at slip?

As mentioned in this post, dropping Misbah could be a critical point in this match! Still not a bad day for England though, early wickets tomorrow and then bat for a couple of days - easy  . A couple of batsmen really need runs in my opinion so will be interesting to see how they go!

So who is ahead after day one??

[100 not out]

I think batting fourth innings on this pitch is gonna be a handful

[PedalsMcgrew]

I reckon Pakistan will feel a bit down about closing 7 wickets down. I would put England ahead but it all depends on how they bat. If they bat as they can then 400+ is a possibility on this pitch, if they bat like they did in the last game then it's all over....

[Opener]

Definitely England ahead after day one. First session tomorrow will be the key to the test match. If Pakistan manage to add 50+ runs it will be hard for them to lose the match.

Anyone else just realising how good Broad actually is?

Those rose tinted glasses you're wearing there cd?

I think if Pakistan reaches 320-325 it will be a good score considering England will be batting last.

Yeah mate, it is true my RayBan's shade did get messed up and I can't see properly hahha

So who is ahead after day one??

I think Pakistan are ahead. Another 50+ runs will put them in a commanding position.

Wahey. That's wrapped things up nicely. Pakistan lose 3 wickets for 1 run in 4 overs on the 2nd morning.

Wow what a morning from Englands bowlers
