Allah khair karey Pakistan ka...
Going back to that LBW appeal, I would also have given it in the favor of batsman as well, because if you view it at a normal speed, it definitely looks to be hitting the bat and pad at roughly the same time. Only the slow-motion cameras and replays showed the pad-before-bat, which was not clearly visible otherwise.

Inzi didn't raise his bat after reaching fifty. On the other hand, the crowd barely acknowledged him as well, reacting only to the third-umpire's decision.

I personally think Afridi was given a message back in the dressing room to play safe and sound, as I see this is as a huge momentum change, before and after tea.The previous session saw Afridi retaining strike at the end of each over, and immediately after (tea), Inzamam has been desperate to see the first ball of almost every over. This is an excellent move, and will allow more time for the partnership to develop, and as I type this, Inzamam pulled Pathan for a boundary over mid-wicket.
