He is not an option. We have two specialist openers and I have also opened and done well.

We have the option of taking up the issue with the relevant authorities, but keeping the relevance and importance of the series we have decided to let the issue pass and put it to rest.

We needed another wicket at that stage (95-6), but could not get it. We could have probably bowled a bit better in that game.

I think this the umpire who decide any one out or not out rather the umpires are in better position to answer.

200 was not the score we were looking at. Even that was made possible due to contributions from the lower order. We definitely need to look into it.

It's very heartening the way we have responded to big Pakistan totals in both the Test matches. It's not easy to bat after staying on the field for two days.
