Pakistan playing 11: Pakistan escaped a defeat in the first test which would have been their fifth straight test defeat and that in their home ground. Pakistan don’t have the bowlers to pick 20 wickets in a test match and their batting isn’t playing to their strength but trying to adapt an aggressive approach which is clearly not working for them. Pakistan would need to bat with patience just like NZ in the first test. The pitches they produce in Pakistan will end in a draw more often than not and Pakistan aren’t even able to draw the test on flat decks is the most worrying factor.
