So far a nice start by Pakistan on this all important tour. We'll see some tough competition for 3rd and 4th bowler since Rahat, Sohail, Wahab and Imran are all good bowlers. Although I feel Pakistan should go with Rahat and Imran along with the obvious Amir and Yasir Shah for the first test. We should use Wahab for flat pitches or where we are sure to get reverse swing. Sohail Khan is a decent bowler and he swung today but as soon as the ball gets old and without reverse swing, he can be an easy target for English batsmen.
As far as batting is concerned, bulk of the runs will be scored by Azhar,Younis and Asad Shafiq as seen by this tour match. Shan is a good opener and I like his temperament but his partner is a walking wicket which will affect him. Pakistan should try Sami Aslam as an opener in next tour match.
My lineup for the first test is,
Shan Masood
Sami Aslam
Azhar Ali
Younus Khan
Misbah-ul-Haq
Asad Shafiq
Sarfraz Ahmed
Mohammad Amir
Yasir Shah
Imran Khan
Rahat Ali
