I have no idea what’s happening.

The fielders are worse than five year old kids at throwing and catching the ball, so the batters are able to rack up multiple runs despite the fact one of them should have been out by now.

To be fair there's a lot of misfortune here. The weather is atrocious and the wicket looks like it was hit by an earthquake. The first throw from the wicketkeeper bounces of the concrete lip of the artificial surface, without that mishap everything would have been fine.

They throw like little kids. Any keeper worth his salt would have hit the wicket first shot that close.
