bad england few happened key obviously
England's obviously had some bad luck. It's unfortunate what's happened to a few of their key players, but England must not be underestimated.
few flat last low pitches played realize tests wickets win
We do realize we've got to take 20 wickets to win a test. That's the key, but we've played the last few tests on flat pitches of low bounce.
faced few nice
We've faced a few (fast) bowlers, so it's nice to have someone who can give it back.
correct few games hope runs series top
We will like a few more runs in the top order. In the first two games we could have got a few more runs but it is a seven-match series and we hope to correct that.
against carry confidence days england few forward series
Hopefully, we will carry forward the confidence of this series against England after a few days off.
might problem risk
We might not risk him if the problem doesn't settle.
individual pakistan target
We will not target individual players. We will play Pakistan as a team.
beginning fell lost reason runs short wickets
We fell short by 30 runs and lost wickets in the beginning and that was the reason for the loss.
blunt expected flat pitches
We expected them to go for such flat pitches to blunt our bowlers.
advantage allow captain continue gives huge pick rule super team
The rule as it is now, gives a huge advantage to the captain inning the toss. So, I think, they (ICC) should continue with it and allow the team to pick their super sub after the toss.
ball bit both taken
It was unfortunate we both got out just before the new ball was taken and that put us in a bit of trouble.
exciting finish heading lose match rules towards
It was an unfortunate way to lose the match. But rules are rules and they are part of the game. The match was heading towards an exciting finish when it had to be called off.
ball fine shot unlucky
The shot was on without the fine leg. He was unlucky that the ball rolled on to the stumps.
early grass help played
The wicket had grass on it when we played here two years ago, but it may help spinners early this time.
