England Opt For Spin Trio On 'raked' Rawalpindi Pitch As Rehan Ahmed Returns
The pitch preparation in Rawalpindi, which reportedly involved the use of rakes, industrial fans and heaters to dry out the surface, suggests a strategy from Pakistan to bring their own spinners into play, especially following their victory on a reused strip in Multan.
Brook, speaking ahead of the match, expressed uncertainty about the surface but hoped for familiar conditions: "They've had the rakes out, the fans and the heaters on the pitch. Everyone goes and looks at the wicket and says something different… Hopefully, it's just like any other Pakistani pitch. It's good to bat on for the first few days and then hopefully, we can get a bit of turn out of it at the back end of the game."
