England coach Andy Flower has admitted there might be chances for the third, and final, test against Pakistan.
Andy Flower's team have lost the opening two matches of the series giving Pakistan an unassailable 2-0 lead.
England's batting line-up crumbled during their second innings of the second test when chasing just 145, managing only 72 runs between them and Flower believes changes might be necessary.
"We have to go into this third test and pick what we think is the best XI to try and win the game," Flower said.
"If that means making a change here and there, then we won't be afraid to do that.
"Selection is an important and sometimes tricky part of our job and going into this third test there will be some important decisions to be made,"
"We didn't put any pressure on their bowlers in the second innings, we allowed them to bowl and create pressure, the conditions to play against quality spinners were difficult and we weren't good enough."
"The second innings display against Pakistan was tough watching for anyone who loves England cricket."
England have not won a test series in Asia for a decade and have struggled with the spinner-friendly conditions in the Gulf.
Pakistan spinners Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman and Mohammad Hafeez have exposed the weakness in the Three Lions batting and Flower conceded his team were not good enough.
"We realise that we haven't been very skillful in dealing with that type of cricket," he said.
"In saying that, it's also right to praise the Pakistan team for what they have done. They beat us fair and square. They have beaten us properly in two matches.
"They have fought hard and worked hard at their game and in a way I'm very happy for them. It's good for their cricket and it's good for their country."
The third test against Pakistan will begin on Friday.
