LIVE - ENGLAND vs PAKISTAN - 1ST TEST MATCH 2020 - DAY 2 #ENGvPAK #ENGLAND #PAKISTAN England v Pakistan, 1st Test Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Wednesday, 5 August; 11:00am local, 10:00am GMT After two convincing wins over West Indies in the last fortnight, England will hope to hit the ground running as they meet Pakistan, a side against whom they haven't won a Test series at home since 2011. The 2-1 win over West Indies took England to third in the ICC World Test Championship points table after they gained 80 points. Two more wins in this series will take them above Australia who is placed at No.2. Pakistan, on the other hand, are in fifth position and even a single win would put them level on points with New Zealand. The visiting side have been in England for a while and have played two intra-squad warm-up matches. But Misbah-ul-Haq, the head coach, has made it clear that performances in the warm-up game will not influence the starting XI too much. It will be interesting to see whether Sohail Khan, who picked up two five-wicket hauls in the two games and has a history of performing well in England with five-wicket hauls at Birmingham and The Oval in 2016, makes the cut in the starting XI.
