Pakistan v England, 2nd Test, Day 4 - The day belongs to Younis Khan






Younis Khan’s bat shines again

In the morning session Pakistan lost Misbah-ul-Haq, who failed to script hundreds in both innings, but his partner Younis Khan kept on going and added yet another hundred in his glorious Test career. It was his 31st Test hundred and day by it seems that his appetite for Test hundreds are increasing. 

He has made UAE his happy hunting ground and since last year, Younis Khan has been one of the consistent performers with the bat for Pakistan along with Misbah. He has answered the double-standard attitude of the Pakistan Cricket Board with his bat and of course, people like him are always an inspiration for those who always receive discouragements.

England’s hopes rest on Joe Root   

Joe Root is still out there and fighting hard to keep the English hopes alive. He needs to play a marathon innings and it will not be an easy task against Wahab Riaz and Yasir Shah. The first session will be crucial for both the teams. Pakistan will be looking for quick wickets while the English eyes will be on Root. 

Pakistan are the favorites to take a lead in this series, but they should be careful about the English batsmen's stubborn resistance 

Thank You
