Disappointing day for Pakistan as they were in a really good situation to put England under pressure with a low 1st innings total.

Poor day for Akmal, not only in terms of missing two simplest of chances but also not helping Pakistan with their two reviews. One of the jobs of a keeper is to give a good advice to captain before going for a review upstairs. Akmal should have done a good job especially with the ct behind review of Pieterson. The loss of two reivew really cost us big time as both Collingwood and Morgan were not given out later on LBWs and Pakistan could have dismissed one of them using the reviews.

Though reviews have not been used a lot in Test cricket, but so far I have noticed Pakistan struggling with them. They need to take this system seriously and learn pretty quickly how to use their reviews carefully and wisely.

Fahad, I think those LBW reviews were REALLY close and deserved a decision review from Pakistan side. Pieterson one was really close too considering there was clear noise and even commentators were quite convinced.

Yes we havent used our reviews well in the past but today all reviews were REALLY close.
