^ Commentators said Pakistan's effort was disgraceful. I agree!
This is just an example of the bigger point I've been making about the death of Test batting and its relation to dead pitches. It's like a death spiral.
This has been a remarkable pitch - easy at the start, impossible to bat on in the middle session of the first day, suddenly easy and then impossible again in the last session, a road on the second day, a road while Marnus was batting today but somehow full of demons for everyone else.
It can’t possibly be the differences in skill, can it?

It's been a road the entire Test match, as commentators agree. That doesn't prevent one set of batsmen being worse than another set playing in their own conditions.
That's another problem facing Test cricket. (It could be related too.) Every Test nation is incapable of playing overseas.
