Masood Has Proved His Mighty Mettle In England : Misbah

Pakistan Coach Misbah-ul-Haq said Shan Masood had "proved himself in England" after the opener's superb hundred helped leave the tourists well-placed in the first test at Old Trafford.

He said it was an excellent performance by Masood, especially against a seam attack of Stuart Broad, James anderson, Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer.

For taking early wickets of English Openers, the coach said it's crucial for you to take wickets with the new ball especially when the game is like this and you are playing with just 326 runs on the Board.
