Pakistan cricketers gather for a nets session at Old Trafford. APEngland know another sluggish start to a Test campaign today could prove costly as they go in search of a first series win over Pakistan in a decade. And while England can point to recent series victories over most of their rivals, their last such success against Pakistan was back in 2010. It is a statistic they are all well aware of, and which they hope to rectify in the series opener at Old Trafford starting today. Pakistan coach Misbah-ul-Haq feels his side is up to the challenge after "good preparations and team bonding."
