In fact both in third and the on-going fourth test it was England’s late middle order that shattered the Pakistani bowling attack. England won the third game and are currently on top in the final game courtesy some heroics from Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes. Both players have come handy throughout the series even without putting up a hundred runs partnerships. On the other hand Australia is facing the same dilemma.
