Moeen will be followed by Chris Woakes who has made haalf-centurie

The Los Angeles Galaxy opens the second half of the MLS campaign with a trip to the Pacific Northwest and into the din of CenturyLink Field to face the reeling Seattle Sounders FC and a new head man calling the shots.It will be the first match ever for the Sounders without longtime manager Sigi Schmid on the bench. Schmid, whos coached Seattle since its inception in 2009, left the club after the Sounders 3-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City on July 24 on mutual terms and was replaced by assistant coach Brian Schmetzer.This will be the third matchup between Seattle and Los Angeles this month, including a 4-2 win by the Galaxy on July 20 in US Open Cup play and a 1-0 victory by the Galaxy in Seattle in league play on July 9.Seattle was only 6-12-2 and had but 20 points this season under Schmids tutelage, and are in the midst of a stretch of five losses in its last seven matches.In their loss to Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday, the Sounders had only one shot and none on goal. Seattle has scored only 20 goals in 30 matches and its minus-7 goal differential is the worst in the league, by far.Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena said he would miss matching strategy against Schmid, his long-time rival.After all the success hes had there and what hes brought to that club, I would have loved to, obviously, seen Sigi stay -- I thought he earned that, Arena said Thursday.(Seattle) needed to do what they think is right for their club. I know the ownership group there, the management group -- theyre good people. I dont have to agree with that, but thats the way it came down.The Galaxy (9-3-8, 35 points) enter Sundays match in third place in the Western Conference. Theyve won a league-leading four straight matches and are in the midst of an eight-game unbeaten run (including US Open Cup contests) since June 18.Los Angeles is 9-4-6 all-time in MLS play against the Sounders and has feasted on the leagues Cascadia-based teams this season, forging a 3-0-2 combined record against Seattle, Portland and Vancouver in 2016.

On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Wahab Riaz has said that Englands middle order is fragile, ahead of the first Test at Lords, and believes Pakistan can put pressure on them.Wahab felt much rested on the shoulders of Alastair Cook, and Joe Root, who has been promoted to No. 3, with the next two positions being filled by James Vince and the recalled Gary Ballance.Vince managed just 54 runs in four innings in his debut series against Sri Lanka, while Ballance is set to play his first Test in a year, having earned a surprising call-up as England reshuffle their order.We know that England is struggling with their middle order, Joe Root is one of their best players and he has to take the responsibility, so thats why he is at No.3, Wahab said. But I think the other batting is fragile. If you get Cook and Root quickly, you can really put pressure on them, but you cant take things easy against them.While Wahab, who went a long way in cementing his Test spot with a fiery spell of reverse swing on the second afternoon against Sussex, is correct to pinpoint the uncertainty around the No. 4 and 5 positions heading into the series, Englands lower middle-order has been prolific of late. However, they are likely to be tested more by Pakistans attack - sharp left-arm pace complemented by the legspin of Yasir Shah - than they were by the Sri Lankans.Jonny Bairstow, who has been in stellar form, has led the way, while Moeen Ali struck a career-best 155 against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street. Moeen will be followed by Chris Woakes who has made haalf-centuries in Tests and ODIs this season.dddddddddddd Ben Stokes, who was left out of the squad for the first Test as he continues his return from knee surgery, is expected to be back for the second Test at Old Trafford.The statistics back up the recent divide between Englands top order and the security provided by those lower down: since May last year, their average for positions 1-5 is sixth in Test cricket (Pakistans batsmen average 14 runs more per wicket, albeit in far fewer Tests, and all of them in Asia) but for positions 6-11, England are top of the pile.Ahead of the squad being named, there was a suggestion that Stokes could be included to play as a batsman while Jos Buttlers name was also linked to a batting position following his impressive limited-overs form. Buttler subsequently broke a finger playing for Lancashire, so will now not be an option during the Test series, but Pakistans coach Mickey Arthur said he had been preparing for that duo to be in the line-up.We obviously looked at the squad with a lot of interest, Arthur told ESPNcricinfo. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler are guys that can take the game away of us, so, though its not a relief, we were preparing for an England middle order of Bairstow, Stokes and Buttler. But the guys that have come in have earned their opportunity and must have done something right, so certainly wont take them lightly. ' ' '
