Australia vs Pakistan 2016/17, 3rd Test, day 2 - 5 Talking Points

#3 Pakistan's fielding under the scanner yet again

Sarfraz struggled behind the stumps

Pakistan have never had lightning quick fielders and catchers. However, they have had safe pairs of hands and good wicket keepers in the past. That no longer seems to be the case, though.

In the first session of day 2, Pakistan misfielded quite often, dropped a catch and squandered a simple stumping chance. Debutant Hilton Cartwright missed a drive off Yasir but Sarfraz was not alert enough, and missed the ball completely, spoiling an easy stumping opportunity.

Later, Younis Khan missed another chance to get the debutant out as he dropped one at slip off Azhar Ali's teasing leg spin. Babar Azam and Misbah-ul-Haq also misfielded to give Aussies some freebies early in the day.
