KARACHI: Pakistan have a chance to make amends and work on their weaknesses before heading into the third Test against England at Edgbaston, with the team involved in a two-day side match against Worcestershire today and tomorrow.
\nThe series is currently hanging in the balance at 1-1 with two more Tests to go and former Pakistan captain Wasim Bari feels the tour game comes at a good time.
\n\u201cPakistan have got a good opportunity to regroup and work on their mistakes before the third Test,\u201d Bari told The MediaMedia. \u201cYou could see a big difference in the approach of the England players from the first Test at Lord\u2019s to the second one at Old Trafford. They quickly worked out their weaknesses and cut down the mistakes and Pakistan can learn from that.\u201d

\nBari, though, feels Misbah will not experiment too much with the team but feels a new bowling strategy is required, especially since England managed to neutralise the threat of ace spinner Yasir Shah.
\n\u201cEngland will not allow Yasir to dominate them again in this series; that was evident from how little purchase there was for him at Old Trafford,\u201d said Bari. \u201cPakistan need to figure out how they will attack England so this practice game is vital.\u201d

\nAnd the former wicketkeeper urges the team to have a backup plan in place. \u201cPakistan need to know who their main weapon is if Yasir fails to deliver,\u201d he said. \u201cThe work load between the bowlers needs to be managed as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
