Pakistan captain Shan Masood said, “I think the conditions are pretty much what we expected and that’s why we brought a team with all the available options. We will assess how the wicket is behaving and then decide our plan as the game progresses.”
“Starts are always important and maintaining the momentum in the second Test will mean a lot. But right now we have to take it day by day and see how things go when bowling first,” he said.
