Pakistan vs England 1st Test match at Multan Cricket Stadium begins a three-match test series. The Second Test will also be at Multan, before the teams go to Rawalpindi for the Third Test which concludes on October 28, 2024.

Pakistan are on a run of poor home form. Since completing a 2-0 series victory against South Africa in February 2021, they have been winless across 10 home tests, including a recent 2-0 defeat to Bangladesh, a side to whom they had previously lost never lost a test match. Coach Jason Gillespie has urged consistency and discipline.

England last toured Pakistan in December 2022, a captivating series which was a triumph for the tourist’s attacking tactics – never more so than when scoring over 500 runs on the 1st day of the series and then winning the match through a bold declaration. Cricket fans the world over will be hoping to see a repeat of such gloriously exciting, dramatic cricket.
