That must be a record low for attendance, looks like there are more press than spectators.
Unfortunate but it's better than having to play in Jihadabad. I thought there were more expats in the UAE? perhaps all the matches should be played in Dubai where all the action is? Tbh with pitches like this who can blame them - there is no pace at all.

Rashid has worst figures on Test debut
A horror of a debut. He doesn't look like a test match bowler at all. Bowls too slow and bowls far too many loose deliveries. Even Samit Patel would have been better than Rashid - at least he would keep it tight and help to build some pressure.England desperately need a proper spinner in the team. Playing with all rounders like Ali/Rashid/Patel just won't cut it especially when playing in Asia.

Not all bad news though, can't remember the last time our opening pair posted 100 - 0, so that is progress.
On a loosely related note:Andrew Samson on TMS said:
Since 1984, England have had 57 opening partnerships but only three of them have put on 100 in their first innings together - the other two are Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss and Michael Atherton and Alec Stewart.
