“In the second innings, the dew might be a bit more. But we don’t want to experiment too much.”, said skipper of Pakistan Shaid Afridi.
Pakistan have made two changes – Mohammad Irfan and Awais Zia are rested while Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Gul are included in playing XI.
“Have to do better than last time. Four changes Latham, Mills, Vettori and Brownlie come in. Anderson and various others are out,” says a sheepish Kane Williamson, “We bat deep tonight, so hopefully we do better”.
