That is the key to success, we have to work on things as a team. Masood further said- I would like the team to improve, it does not matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win. England showed us the way in this Test, you have to give them huge credit. We are sad with the result, sad as a country, but the beauty of the game is that it always gives you another chance.
