MULTAN
\nEngland skipper Ben Stokes on Friday apologised after showing his frustrations on the field a day earlier.
\nThe visitors were left to rue two dropped catches on day three in Multan, Salman Agha escaping on four and six on his way to a crucial half-century as Pakistan made 221 in their second innings.
\n\u201cNo one means to drop catches but it just proves how important catches are out in these subcontinent conditions because they don\u2019t come along that often,\u201d skipper Stokes told Sky Sports.
\n\u201cI actually apologised to the group up there last night.\u201d Stokes, who missed England\u2019s innings victory in the first Test in Multan because of injury, added: \u201cIt\u2019s the first time in my captaincy that I\u2019ve let my emotions, how I was feeling as the game was unfolding, show in my body language.
\n\u201cI owned up to that and I\u2019m very annoyed with myself for letting that out and it\u2019s something I don\u2019t want to do or be seen to be doing.
\n\u201cSo I apologised to the group about that and I said it was poor old me coming out, tired, grumpy old man last night but you won\u2019t see that happen again.\u201d
\nThe third and final Test is in Rawalpindi from October 24 and Stokes refused to look backwards or wonder what might have been.
\n\u201cNext week is going to be good. I\u2019m sure everyone\u2019s enjoyed watching here and back home,\u201d said the skipper. \u201cHopefully we can get a win next week and go home with another series win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
