Pakistan coach Javed Miandad has told his bowlers they need to get their act together if they are to level the series against India after losing the first test by an innings and 52 runs.
India registered their first test victory on Pakistani soil, when they won in Multan on Thursday having scored 675 for five declared in their first innings. The second test of the three-match series starts in Lahore on Monday.
"The truth is our bowlers didn't exploit the conditions as well as the Indians," Miandad told Reuters on Friday.
"The track was not a flat one at all. It was good for batting but it also had encouragement for the bowlers," he said.
Miandad has asked his bowlers to watch videos of former test players to analyse where they had gone wrong.
The Multan wicket was blamed for India's dominating batting performance but their bowlers also made better use of the conditions to bowl out Pakistan for 407 and 216.
"A flat track is where the ball does not come above waist height," Miandad said.
"There was lot of bounce on all four days and even on the fifth day the wicket-keeper was collecting the ball around his chest. We just didn't apply ourselves like we should have."
Miandad said it was going to be difficult to contain India's batting unless his bowlers swung the ball around.
"These are not batsmen who are going to run away from sheer pace. You have to beat them with movement. Irfan Pathan was successful because he kept on moving the ball both ways."
India's Pathan grabbed a career-best four for 100 in the first innings and leg-spinner Anil Kumble picked up a six-wicket haul in the second.
Opener Virender Sehwag slammed an Indian record 309, punishing Pakistan's pace attack of Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami and Shabbir Ahmed. Sachin Tendulkar added an unbeaten 194.
"For someone as aggressive as Sehwag to curb his natural instinct for nearly two days was a great example of discipline and application," Miandad said.
The third and final test will start in Rawalpindi on April 13. India are playing their first full series in Pakistan in over 14 years.
