'I fear for them' - Vaughan & Raja lament 'desperate times' for Pakistan
Former England captain Michael Vaughan says he "really fears" for Pakistan after their heavy defeat in the first Test at Headingley.
Ramiz Raja delivered a powerful emotional call to arms to the Pakistan cricket team, challenging them to fight back after England's Michael Vaughan dismissed their squad as the "weakest team to ever tour England." England secured a commanding lead of 195 runs on the second day of the opening Test at Headingley, with a total of 366 all out.
Harry Brook narrowly missed a century, dismissed for 91 by debutant spinner Ali Usman. Vaughan's blunt remarks fueled Raja's impassioned plea for Pakistan to turn the tide in the second innings, insisting that proving his words wrong is crucial for the team's morale.
