England are having a busy time after a long break. The three-match Test series of the Three Lions against Pakistan starts today. The match will start at 4 pm Bangladesh time at Old Trafford in Manchester.
After returning Test cricket to the field in the midst of the epidemic, England also returned the one-day format to Ireland by 22 yards. The two-match ODI series ended yesterday. However, it will not have any effect on the Pakistan series.
There is no problem as no member of the ODI squad is in the Test squad. The English Test team has quite a rhythm. England's two white-clad victories against the West Indies 15 days ago are still in the eyes of fans. Both the teams have top class seamers in Wednesday's match. However, Pakistan will be ahead of Spin Bongli.
f you have to think of England's Jason Roy and Joe Root in batting, then Pakistan's Babar Azam and Azhar Ali could be the cause of the opponent's worries. Even after that, the advantage of the home ground and the current form will definitely keep England ahead.
Before the first Test, the Pakistan captain said, "It is always difficult to play under the conditions of England. But in the last one month, we have adapted to the conditions here. Now the real goal is to adapt to the situation on the field. We will succeed if everyone fulfills their responsibilities. The success of the last two series has given us courage. However, England is very confident of winning the series recently. So we are taking the opponent firmly. We are ready to give our best performance. '
However, England captain Joe Root thinks that Pakistan is a strong opponent. "Pakistan is a stronger team than the West Indies," he said. Because Pakistan's bowling line-up is world-class. In the last two tours, they have succeeded in holding the hands of the bowlers. Their batsmen are of good quality. So there will be a great fight in the series.
Pakistan have not lost a series in the last two tours in 2016 and 2018. They ended the four-match Test series 2-2 in 2016 and the two-match Test series 1-1 in 2018. So far England and Pakistan have faced in 63 matches. English won 25, Pakistan won 21. 37 matches have been drawn.
Pakistan last won a Test series on English soil in 1996. So it is time for Pakistan to end the infertility of winning the series.
