The fans are on at Rawalpindi as well. After a win on one of the toughest tracks to bat on in Pakistan off late, Pakistan has found its strategy to find ways to get wins at home. They are banking on spin with Rawalpindi, one of the flattest Test pitches in recent times being converted into a really dry track to keep the bowlers in the game. England won't mind though. They have already named their eleven with three spinners and Joe Root and they look prepared to take on the challenge despite losing their previous Test.

PAK vs ENG Key Players

Noman Ali

At 38, Test opportunities have been sporadic for Noman Ali. With opportunities slipping away, Noman Ali's career looked done until the previous Test where he pickedup eight wickets in the second innings to ensure that he is still a force to watch out for. He has a lot of domestic experience and with little time on his side he will be hoping to make use of any opportunity he gets in Test Cricket.

Ben Duckett

Ben Duckett has excelled massively under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes. When he started his career he was a player completely at loss against spin. In the second Test though he bossed his way through the innings as the ball turned and he looked in complete control. He is a really dangerous player at the moment and is showing his versatility with a lot of confidence.

PAK vs ENG Match Tips

The ball will spin and England will be ready for it despite Pakistan looking good.
