PAK vs ENG 1st TEST - LIVE SCORE

CAPTAINS’ CORNER

Ollie Pope: I came prepared if Stokes is not available. The conditions are hot, the hottest I might have played in. Ready for the challenge. I would have batted first as well. There is a little bit of moisture and hopefully we can make use of that in the first hour. He (Brydon Carse) has played some white-ball cricket for England and now we are excited to see how he goes about in Test cricket.

Shan Masood: We are going to have a bat. We asked for a good cricket wicket. Both teams are stacked with good batting line-ups. We have been in winning positions and not won from there. It has caused some hurt amongst the team and the cricket fraternity. We want to get back to winning ways and hopefully these bunch of guys can do that.

TOSS: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat.
