'We Know Pakistan Can Crumble': Ben Duckett Sees Pakistan Under Pressure In 2nd Test
Ben Duckett: Ben Duckett's blistering 114-run innings propelled England to 239/6 on Day 2 of the second Test match against Pakistan, despite England's stumble in the third session.
Following the end of the day's play, the Centurion referred to the host nation's batting collapse in the third innings of the first Test match and claimed the pressure is on Pakistan with the game on a knife's edge heading into Day 3.
"Whatever the state of the game we always believe we can go and win. The first session tomorrow is going to be huge. If we can bat for as much as we can and get close to their total I think we will actually be favourites. We know that they can crumble and so the pressure is over to them. We're 1-0 up in the series, won the last series 3-0 and we know they're going to fight to make it as hard as they can for us. But we always believe we're in the game," Duckett told Sky Sports.
