Pakistan vs England - Team of the series

#2 Mohammed Hafeez

Mohammed Hafeez scored a terrific century in the third Test

Mohammed Hafeez ended up as Pakistan’s top run scorer in the series thanks to a late century in the second innings of the third Test. After making 98 in the first Test, he got several starts but failed to capitalize on any of them. He attacked the England bowlers at the onset and provided a good start for Pakistan in every Test, but got out to loose shots.

All that changed in the last Test as he made a brilliant 151 to take’s Pakistan’s lead beyond 200, and by extension, beyond England. His knock started sedately, but quickly accelerated as he hit 15 fours and 3 towering sixes off England. Despite batting on a minefield, Hafeez played attacking cricket and quickly increased his team’s score.

Hafeez scored 380 runs in the series, but the cloud over his bowling action prevented him from having a bowl. Pakistan will hope that he gets cleared so he can contribute with the ball as well.
