Flower: 'England have learned lessons'

Coach Andy Flower believes that England's batsmen are beginning to master how to deal with Pakistan's spin bowling attack.

England's recent Test series loss to Pakistan was put down largely to the amount of wickets they lost to turning deliveries.

However, the tourists recently responded by winning the one-day international series 4-0, before drawing level in the Twenty20 series yesterday afternoon.

"We've learned some lessons from that Test series, specifically on how to play the spin," Flower told BBC Radio Five Live. "Playing spin in the limited-overs games is slightly different to playing it in the Test game, but I still think the lessons that we learnt there have served us well through this limited-overs leg.

"That's part of it. We have got a group of people who are used to winning games of cricket."

England will take on Pakistan in the deciding T20 tomorrow.
