1st Test Dubai day 2; England 192; Pakistan 288-7
A better effort from England today with the bowlers all chipping in. The lads looked athletic and interested in the field as well. So we are still in the test match but a lot depends on whether we can play the spinners any better second time round.
In the previous test here both teams got big scores second innings. Strauss needs a decent knock; it has been ages since he delivered with the bat. Despite being prolific over the last 12 months including two double hundreds, the knives are being sharpened for KP again due to poor form in the warm up games. Morgan needs to prove he is test class.
But as some tweeted yesterday, in general the England batsmen don't let the country down twice in the same test. That is why we are number one in the world. So time once again to prove it lads, starting tomorrow.
