No. 1 England dumped in DubaiUndone by Pakistan's mystery spinner in the first innings, Andrew Strauss's side forgot to heed the other bowlers and were dismissed cheaply for the second time in the match.
It was an unexpected shellacking by a Pakistan team without a home and rebuilding their reputation match by match. England head the Test table but with two more series in Asia this year they face a crisis to their credibility unless their batting, which failed miserably for a second time in the match, can find quick solutions to making proper runs in these conditions.
Chief among them will be to find a way to pick Saeed Ajmal, whose teasing mix of doosras and off-breaks brought him match figures of 10 for 97.
