Nasser Hussain: Shan Masood ‘looked shed’
Speaking on Sky Sports throughout the tea break, previous England captain Nasser Hussain declared that Pakistan captain Shan Masood looked ‘entirely shed’ versus Duckett:
“As a left- hander, Shan Masood should understand if he’s obtained Noman Ali bowling outside off stump, when he plays that difficult move, it is difficult to strike it hard, simply on angle. If it’s around in the harsh, it’s difficult to do that (strike it on the ground in the direction of great leg). The difficult move is either mosting likely to go front, or it’s mosting likely to go square.
“And that’s why I intend to see Shan, rather than leaving it to Rizwan (the caretaker), stroll from midwicket, stand in front of Duckett, consider the angles and obtain those fielders in the appropriate placements. If they remain in the appropriate setting, after that Duckett needs to strike in various other locations.
“In that little flow of play (when Duckett was sweeping regularly), he entirely looked shed regarding what to do. And he has to have understood it was coming. You understand what’s originating from this England side, so you should prepare previously, and I do not assume they did.”
At the tea interval, England were 88- 1, routing by 278 runs.
