Pakistan batsmen are scared of playing shots, claims Inzamam-ul-Haq

Former captain and current chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq has urged Pakistani batsmen to play aggressive cricket and not be afraid to execute their shots in the ongoing second Test against England in Southampton.

Pakistan were reduced to 126 for 5 on Day 1 but they fought back through Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam to reach 223 for 9 at the end of play on Day 2. Rizwan will resume his knock on 60 on Saturday along with Naseem Shah (1 not out).

Opener Abid Ali and star player Babar Azam have been the other two batsmen who managed to make a significant contribution to the the team score while the rest all failed with six batters getting out in single digits.
