The 猛烈に flat pitch in Abu Dhabi and the absence of 脚-spin sensation Yasir Shah made the first 実験（する） a little いっそう少なく daunting for an England team who （機の）カム agonisingly の近くに to pulling off an historic victory.

If England can 栄える on a turning 跡をつける against a bowler who has taken 61 wickets in his first 10 実験（する）s then they really will be in with a chance of becoming the first team to 勝利，勝つ a series against Pakistan in the 部隊d Arab 首長国s.

England will be 不変の, 供給するing Ben Stokes shows no ill-影響s from his return to training after a ウイルス, and with their 信用／信任 上げるd by the 劇の last-day turnaround in Abu Dhabi 奮起させるd by their own 脚-spinner.

Adil Rashid’s five wickets do not yet make him the finished article but they 証明するd he can be a second-innings 脅し and vindicated the 約束 Trevor Bayliss and Paul Farbrace have shown in him.

‘He’ll take a 抱擁する 量 from that,’ said Cook, who 供給するd the perfect example of how to bat long and big here with his 14-hour マラソン. ‘You saw the 負わせる 解除する off Adil’s shoulders and he started to show his 可能性のある.

‘We shouldn’t 裁判官 him on the first innings and I was very impressed with the character he showed. I always say a lot of 実験（する） cricket is in the mind and the way he 答える／応じるd second time 一連の会議、交渉／完成する will have done him the world of good.’

Someone else in need of a 上げる is Jos Buttler, who is finding 実験（する） cricket a very different kettle of fish to the one-day 円形競技場 where he made his 指名する as an innovative strokemaker of rare gifts.

Buttler 不正に needs a 得点する／非難する／２０ in the last two 実験（する）s.

‘He finds this 判型 his least natural,’ 認める Cook. ‘He’s had to think about his game as people have 設立する out more about him and he’s still working on that. We shouldn’t forget how 井戸／弁護士席 he has kept and we are 権利 behind him.’

Steven Finn’s 傷害 has made England 棚上げにする any thoughts they had of 回転／交替ing him with 示す 支持を得ようと努めるd and the Durham man has been challenged by coach Bayliss to 証明する his 団体／死体 can 扱う the 緊張する of 連続する 実験（する）s.

England bowled Pakistan out for 99 here three years ago but still contrived to lose and they believe there might be a bit in this surface for their seamers because the 深い 影をつくる／尾行するs cast by the enclosed stadium can 原因（となる） the ball to 阻止する around more than in Abu Dhabi.

Those 影をつくる／尾行するs mean the 厄介な 支配する of bad light may 井戸／弁護士席 be an 問題／発行する again, with the game 猛烈に needing to 避ける a repeat of the first 実験（する） farce which saw play end with England on the brink にもかかわらず floodlights 向こうずねing 負かす／撃墜する.

‘This 問題／発行する does need some 解明,’ said Cook. ‘I don’t think anyone has 設立する a 解答 and we need to decide 正確に／まさに which way to go.’
