Yes could do denphone trouble is the ball was turning for Swann and Panesar earlier that has now gone,perhaps Stauart broad can grab another couple hopefully, the pitch now is fairly flat and the ball getting on a bit.

Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann each took three wickets as England took charge of the second Test against Pakistan on day one in Abu Dhabi.

Broad (3-47) bowled both Younus Khan and Azhar Ali after lunch to leave the hosts struggling on 103-4.

A stand of 100 between Misbah-ul-Haq and Asad Shafiq helped Pakistan recover before Swann (3-52) trapped Shafiq lbw.

Broad then removed Adnan Akmal and Swann bowled Abdur Rehman to leave Pakistan 256-7, with Misbah 83 not out.

Me too. The atmosphere in Dubai is a bit flat in my opinion.

I think the sticking point will be whether England will want to play in Pakistan. Will they be willing to following the 2009 Sri Lanka shooting?

The Dubai atmosphere is very flat, over there they prefer the one day game the stadiums look impressive though.

I think at the moment England would not want to play in pakistan like wise Australia,but the idea of asking Bangladesh i think a much smaller cricket playing nation,is to start building up trust again if they acceptand they tour without a hitch , then the bigger test playing nations might follow.
