Pakistan v England 3rd Test

I know teams have a advantage playing at home in test cricket to prepare wickets that’s suits them.

And always have, but don’t know what anyone else thinks but think the last test of the same pitch and the carry on before this one is going too far

Winning the toss shouldn't guarantee victory (obviously that theory is getting tested here). I'm all for home nations preparing pitches that suit their attacks, but turn like this on day 1 is not good for a 5 day test.

Of course we don't know how things will look until both teams have batted but 5 wickets to spin before lunch on day 1 isn't a great look.

Pakistan know we have better batters than they do, so by producing shit pitches they are making it all about the spinners. People might call that salty, but I'm not a fan of this

From BBC Sport, pitch rating is 8.3 to bat on, last day of last test was 7.1.
Out of 10, and the higher it is the harder to bat
