If your 40-3 after a new ball attack bowl spectacularly, then fair play. But this bowling has been pretty tame and negative to be honest. Not really a criticism of Pakistan at all, they seem to have realised that England's batsman only need a prod, and they throw themselves into the fire, but I havent seen much to conclude that there isnt a score on offer for batters who arent going to play like morons.
Cook is a case in point. He's put away some bad balls, and his false shots when they come are defensive, not Malan or Root style aggressive swipes. Cook has watched a few go past the edge, but if everyone comes in and bats like him on this surface, you wouldnt lose 3 wickets in the first hour.
