England vs. Pakistan Prediction

Morale will be on a high after Stuart Broad and James Anderson united to form a strong English front by the time their battle with the West Indies was over, despite starting off the series separated.

Broad became the seventh player in Test history to take 500 wickets at this level on the last day against the West Indies, and Sky Sports confirmed he’d retained his place in the 14-man squad for their upcoming clash with Pakistan:

This series will form part of the inaugural ICC World Test Championship, with three T20 internationals to follow at the end of August. It’s a demanding schedule that could prove wearisome for the tourists so far from home.

Azhar Ali will captain a Pakistan team hoping to improve upon the results of previous touring squads in 2016 and 2018, both of which ended in draws.
