'Appalling batting' — Broad hammers Overton for losing wicket

Stuart Broad called Jamie Overton's shot selection appalling after the all-rounder fell during England's Test against Pakistan. Broad said the surface rewarded patience, not aggressive strokes, and the dismissal was unnecessary given the match situation. England had already lost early wickets and needed stability.

Broad has worked closely with Overton in county and international cricket. England's batting coach and captain later echoed the same message on shot selection in the middle order. The incident has sparked discussion within the squad about how to approach slow, low pitches.
