EXCLUSIVE: Mark Taylor identifies 'dangerous' problem Pakistan need to improve after first Test calamity
Former Australian captain Mark Taylor believes Pakistan will need to adjust their attitude for the remaining two Test matches after a horror show in the field.
During Australia's first innings, Usman Khawaja and David Warner were all dropped from catchable opportunities while Shan Masood also misfielded a simple defensive push through the covers on the third ball of the game.
The Pakistan skipper also dropped Mitchell Marsh in the second innings.

On commentary with Fox Cricket, Pakistan legend Wasim Akram explained fielding \, which Taylor agreed but added the side needs to make a shift mentally.
"Fielding's one of those things, you've got to want to do it, you've got to want to make a difference and want the ball to come to you and you sense with some of the Pakistan fielders, not all of them, that they don't really want the ball to come to them and that's a dangerous thing to have and you can just about bet that's when it'll come to you," he told Wide World of Sports after day two.
"A couple of opportunities went begging, they make a big difference.
"Here we are after two days play and they're still 355 runs behind, you hang on to those catches, things might not be that bad."
Contrastingly, Australia hardly missed a chance in the field with 14 dismissals coming from either catches, stumpings or run outs.

Taylor believes Pakistan should mirror themselves on the work done by Marnus Labuschagne in their to have any chance of success in the field moving forward.
"It's fitness yes but more importantly it's just attitude in the field and wanting to make a difference, look at someone like Labuschagne who looks to make a difference in the field and often does," he said.
"It's just another string to your bow as a professional cricketer."
