Younis reveals Pakistan hurt after England Defeat
Pakistan Times Sports Desk

MANCHESTER (UK): Pakistan vice-captain Younis Khan has admitted the tourists have been left feeling "hurt" and "angry" after their crushing second Test defeat against England here at Old Trafford.

England's victory, completed inside three days by the huge margin of an innings and 120 runs, saw the hosts go 1-0 up in the four-Test series, ahead of the third Test starting on Friday at Headingley.

"We are not just hurting as a team, we are angry," Younis told a cricket website. "We are angry at ourselves for losing in less than three days at Old Trafford.

"We all know we are much better than what we managed last week."

Younis said Pakistan could draw on the example of their current opponents, who eventually won their first Test campaign against Australia for 19 years despite losing the series opener at Lord's by a thumping 239 runs.

"The boys will come back, I know we will," Younis added. "There are two matches left and we are more than capable of putting in some performances between us.”●
