Pakistan recently lost a Test series 2-0 against Bangladesh at home. The humiliating defeat was their first-ever in the Test format against Bangladesh. Pakistan were whitewashed 3-0 in their second-last Test series which was against Australia. England, on the other hand, recently won a Test series 2-1 against Sri Lanka. They lost the last Test of the series at the Oval by eight wickets after a rare batting failure. England have won four of their last five Test matches. They last toured England in 2022 and won each of the three Test matches on the tour. The series was just the beginning of the 'Bazball era' under head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes. Stokes has been ruled put of the first Test as he is sill recovering from his hamstring injury but England are once against the favourites to beat under-pressure Pakistan. England have named two specialist spinners in their playing eleven for the first Test. Pakistan are also likely to follow the same combination.

They will carry the confidence of their last tour when they beat Pakistan 3-0. The team is very well-balanced and would once again look to pounce on an under-pressure Pakistan, who were whitewashed against Bangladesh at home last month.
