Abid Ali 4 (M 2, R 73, Ave 18.25)

Azhar Ali 4 (M 2, R 62, Ave 15.50)

Azhar had a six-ball duck in the second Test, and did not seem at his best in all four innings.

Nauman filled in for Yasir Shah in the second Test match. He bowled tightly for his three wickets.

Yasir Shah 1 (M 1, W 0, R 4)

Shah featured in the first match, and remained wicketless, which cost him to be sidelined in the next.
