    "editor1": "<p><strong>Dubai, October 21 -<\/strong> England off-spinner Moeen Ali believes his team should not fear a turning pitch here this week against Pakistan as they have &quot;the best player of spin in the world&quot; in Joe Root.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A more turning surface is expected for the second cricket Test than for the opening game in Abu Dhabi, where the two sides scored a combined 1,121 first-innings runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That could spell trouble for the tourists given Pakistan&#39;s top leg-spinner Yasir Shah is expected to return to the side on Thursday after missing the first Test with a back problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Yasir&#39;s obviously their gun spinner and the guy they go to win them games, but we just need to play him as we would anyone, just get on with it. Batting&#39;s obviously going to be tougher than it was in Abu Dhabi. But we&#39;ve got some good players of spin,&quot; Ali was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shah has 61 wickets in 10 Tests and is currently the world&#39;s top-ranked slow bowler, but Moeen believes an England batting line-up led by Root has the game to cope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think Rooty&#39;s probably the best player of spin in the world, so we&#39;re not too fazed. We&#39;re preparing well, and as long as we&#39;re prepared we&#39;re happy to go into the game full of confidence,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England&#39;s own leg-spinner Adil Rashid underlined his potential with five second-innings wickets in the first Test, while Moeen&#39;s off-spin yielded two more amid the final-day drama.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
