I'm pretty sure that in all the collapses we have had over the past couple of years we have probably lost 6 wickets in 15 overs once or twice at least.
What the could have done is that have Misbah defend and the other person attack or something like that. But the cautious approach is...
They don't want to take risks and rightly so. Lead series 1-0, haven't won a series in 4 years, so of coarse Pakistan first want to make sure they are safe then go for win if there enough wickets remaining.
Younis got out otherwise they were looking good.

Sachin Tendulkar
Adam Gilchrist

12th man: Brett Lee
Great to see England fight back in this match, enjoyed every bit of the counter attack by Strauss and Cook after the 1st hour.
