James Anderson claims England remain in good spirits and are determined to win the final Test of the series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates.
James Anderson claims England are still in good spirits.The pace bowler has lifted the lid on the mood in the camp after England let slip a winning position to lose the second Test in disastrous fashion on Saturday when they were bowled out for just 72 to go 2-0 down in the three-match series.
England's batsmen have come in for the majority of the criticism with three poor innings' totals in four attempts, while Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott and Ravi Bopara have all been hit by stomach problems.
However, Anderson is adamant that the players remain positive and are looking forward to putting things right when the third Test starts in Dubai on Friday.
We're just really concentrating on how we're going to win this game starting on Friday.

England are 2.87 to restore some pride with a win and 3.25 to secure a draw which would prevent Pakistan achieving a series whitewash.
"The mood is still pretty good considering the position we're in," he said. "We're just really concentrating on how we're going to win this game starting on Friday."
Anderson added: "There has been a lot of talk about that; we've practised hard the last couple of days and we're just really looking forward to getting on with things on Friday now."
