Our bowlers have bowled really well so far and we are confident that they will continue their form. As far as batsmen are concerned, so they last batted strongly in tough conditions here,” he maintained.
Talking about individual performance, Azhar said England conditions are not easy to bat on, and not every batsman scores here. “I know my performance wasn’t good in last matches but I will try to come up strongly,” he said.
“Asad is a match-winner and I am confident that he will gain his form as soon as possible,” he reiterated upon being asked.
On the other hand, the skipper said they are not sure about the playing XI as they will decide it after seeing the pitch. “The pitch has been covered for last two days due to weather. We will decide to play XI after watching the pitch,” he concluded.
