Misbah-ul-Haq: Pakistan are ready for England fightback

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has admitted that his side are preparing for a much-improved performance from England ahead of the second Test.

England slipped to a ten-wicket defeat in the first Test after a woeful batting display, but Misbah-ul-Haq believes that the match in Abu Dhabi will be far more difficult.

The 37-year-old said: "There is no doubt that England, being the world number one team, will try their 100% best and stage a strong comeback.

"We expect that they can come back at any time, so we have to remain focused and continue to play well against them."

The four-match Test series is taking place in the United Arab Emirates.
