Pakistan got pretty much demolished this test match, and England was in control right from the start. Going back to the celebration at Lord's, the Pakistani team look a bit foolish now and it kind of shows that maybe you should leave the extroverted celebration until after the series as been won, and not just after one match.

I'm not saying that the Pakistani celebration spurred England on, but at the same time I think all it would have done is motivate the England players and a lot more than the Pakistani ones, so maybe in hindsight taking the p**s in that manner wasn't such a good idea after all.
