In the end we have to admit that it was incredibly risky move from Ben Stokes. This is the same pitch where Pakistan made a total of 579 just two days ago. And somehow Stokes decided to gamble on an unlikely win rather than settling for a draw. This is a precious lesson for the PCB, not to prepare substandard matches for tests against quality teams. If the opponent has quality, they will win the match no matter how hard the curators try to create flat surfaces. The second test will start in three days from now at Multan. Hopefully the pitch quality will be better.
Full marks to Ben for taking this risk. Its time for Pakistan to make some changes in there team, enough with Rizwan just give some opportunity back to Sarfraz. Now Haris is no more playing rest of test matches along with shaheen, defiantly Pakistan will struggle in bowling department. While there batting is already struggling. I am not much hopeful for Pakistan for rest of series.
