Six months since their last test match, Pakistan go into the games at bio-secure venues in Manchester and Southampton against an England team that beat the West Indies 2-1 last month as international cricket returned from the COVID-19 shutdown. "We have to really come in this test series right from the word go at our best if we want to win a test series or a test match," Misbah told reporters. "That was their first test in a long time and obviously after that they played consistently," said Misbah, adding, " ...we should be ready for an England team that have had three matches of experience and won their last two tests." "But test cricket is different," he added. "Once you're in, pressures build sometimes, but we'll try to keep it so they're mentally fresh regardless of the results."
