Match Summary
Pak 132 for 2(Abdullah 42, Imam 38 trail AUS 487 (Warner 164, Marsh 90, Jamal 6-111) by 355 runs.
Slow Start by Pak
After the australia bowled out on 487 pakistan openers starts very slowly they even not show any sort of intent.
It was looking that pakistan is going with defensive mindset and pakistan want to draw this match.
At one end abdullah shafique tried at some points to be aggressive with some shorts but other end imam does not even tried.
Its mean pakistan started so sowly know they need excelrate their run rate and need to show some sort of intent they are looking for win.
Pak does not get any harm of wickets but this intent need to be changed because its is looking like very old school.
Shan Masood
After first wicket down of abdullah shafique score was 74 then captain shan come and take charge on other australia.
Shan masood show some intent and he started to making quick runs and try to set example for his batsmans that how they need to play.
Shan masood played good innings of 30 runs before getting out caught behind he takes charge towards australia.
In my point of view if shan wants to pakistan win this series he needs to replace imam with saim ayub who is an aggressive player.
For day shan need to talk with imam that he need to playing some sort of shorts because blocking the ball is not done much damage.
It is a very big opportunity for shan as captian that if his team beat australia it will be very big perfomance.
