However, for the most part, the Pakistan pacemen troubled them, with Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Abbas claiming 13 wickets between them in the match. The England pace duo of Stuart Broad and James Anderson managed just five wickets between them, and the latter found himself having to defend their performance. Adding to England's worries is the fact that Stokes has injury worries. While England look to block out all the scrutiny, the atmosphere in the Pakistan camp couldn't be more different. 

Their young side have shown themselves more than capable at the highest level, and Amir said it had buoyed the side to do more in the second. The fractured forearm suffered by Babar Azam which ruled him out of the tour means one of Fakhar Zaman, Usman Salahuddin and Sami Aslam is likely to step in. Apart from that, Pakistan have no real worry in the series.
