Pakistan's most experienced middle order batsman Younas Khan who played 108 test matches was total flopped in all four innings while ODI captain also looked shaky in his all four innings. Opening Batsman Hafeez made only 40 and 42 in two innings while remaining other two innings he didn't passed the double figure. Asad Shafique was impressive in Lord's test but unimpressive at Old Trafford.
