Younis Khan out

The cards may be aligning for England to win the third test. With Shahid Afridi out, the latest blow to the squad is the absence of Younis Khan. With the death of his brother, he has had to leave the squad for some time.

While Hasan Raza and Asim Kamal are being spoken of as replacements for the above 2, their presence will severely test the bowling squad. With Shoaib, Sami or Asif and Rana Naved as the pacers, and Danesh Kaneria as the spinner, Pakistan will only have four main stream bowlers. Shoaib Malik will probably not be bowling due to concerns about his action.

Should make for an interesting match.
