Pakistan openers Mohammad Hafeez and Taufeeq Umar hit contrasting half-centuries to steer their team to a 96-run lead over England with three wickets in hand by stumps Wednesday on the second day of the first test.
Led by Hafeez’s chancy 88 and Umar’s solid 58, Pakistan reached 288-7 in reply to England’s 192 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
“We are very much in control of this game (and) with two spinners in our side we have a very good chance to win the test match,” Hafeez said. “We have collected enough runs to dominate this test, and hopefully tomorrow we will stretch our lead.”
