MJS | 8 years ago | Reply The look of anguish and pain on Younis Khan's face is the same that the viewers get when watching him bat (struggle) against England. It is time that we rest him and bring in Fawad Alam .... and don't even get me started on where I want to send Hafeez to.

Al Karim | 8 years ago | Reply It is preposterous to say that England lead by 17 runs; Pak has not even batted yet. Ridiculous!
