Australian batsman Mitch Marsh had a shaky start on day two of the second Test against Pakistan, surviving two close calls in two balls thanks to DRS and leaving Wasim Akram fuming at umpire Joel Wilson's decisions.

Marsh replaced Travis Head at the crease after Head's dismissal and immediately faced trouble. Hasan Ali's LBW appeal was initially upheld by Wilson, sending Marsh scrambling for a review after chat with Marnus Labuschagne. Replays, however, showed a nick on the ball, much to Marsh's surprise, and the decision was overturned.

“The question is did he know himself?” commentator Harsha Bhogle said. “If he knew he would have gone for it straight away.”

However, Marsh on the very next delivery was caught behind. Wilson, for the second time, raised his finger. But Marsh, now more confident, challenged the call. DRS again came to his rescue, revealing the ball had only clipped his pads, not the bat.

Akram, commentating on the match, was scathing in his criticism of Wilson, calling his performance a "shocker."

“Joel Wilson is having a shocker,” Akram said.

The fans were equally livid with the umpiring of Joel Wilson.
