Pakistan win toss and choose to bat, but England with an early breakthrough.

2nd test started. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat.

England looking threatening with the ball early on.

Great start. Although if we bowl them out for 10, we'd score 9 at the moment

Even though I’m convinced Stoneman isn’t good enough for test cricket, I have to question the point of dropping someone in a two match test series.

What happens if Jennings flops in the second test?

Do they persist with him for future test series? Return to Stoneman? Select yet another opener?

A thorough evaluation of English cricket needs to take place after this series.

We could follow Australia’s example by picking someone like Hildreth, who has been a consistent run getter in county cricket for many years now. But I suspect his age and the fact that he plays half of his cricket at Taunton will be held against him. Both Adam Voges and Michael Hussey enjoyed a lot of success in the baggy green after years of honing their skills in the domestic circuit.

Remember David Steele.

Not sure why we haven't got a 4th slip in, the balls doing plenty.

Interesting that Pakistan choose to bat after winning the toss thought they’d of bowled while England’s batting being shite
