Rehan Ahmed seems to have fallen out of favour
He's in the squad, I guess Bashir has overtaken him, Leach hasn't been fit for quite some time but now he is, so I guess they've gone with his record/experience against this opposition on this occasion to compliment Bashir.

England are gonna do really well to get anywhere close to Pakistan's first inns. They look knackered after two days in the field in that heat. And now looks like Duckett's injured.

Well as bad afternoons go, England really like to set the bar, horrible missed stumping, terrible dropped catch, Duckett possible dislocated thumb, and Ollie Pope doing Ollie Pope things, which is not getting runs on top of extending his run of failed reviews, know up to 20 something failed reviews. The boy isn't a captain!

These kind of wickets need banning, no wonder only one man and his dog comes and watch these tests. It's just a holding pattern till the 2nd innings

Amazing achievement from Root, I think he’ll get there or there about Sachin’s total.
We’ve got the three test series against NZ later this year then next year a one off against Zim, a five test series against India, then we head over to Oz for the Ashes.
Even if he just plays to his average that’ll put him on just over 14k, just 2k short of Sachin.
He’ll be really annoyed with himself if he doesn’t post 150 plus on this road!

I know I keep banging on about the scheduling but I was just sitting here watching this thinking to myself why does every other series seem to be against Pakistan.
We haven’t played SA away since 19/20 and aren’t due to go there until Dec 2026 for only a three test series, absolutely ridiculous stat!
