For the next four days, both teams battled head to head, England seemed to have taken the defeat against Pakistan at Lord's seriously. Legendary fast-bowler Wasim Akram expressed that the return of Ben Stokes and James Anderson will prove to be pivotal for the English cricket team.
Pakistan celebrated their victory over England in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday. England recalled Stokes, Anderson, and Adil Rashid for the second Test, which begins on Friday.
According to local media report, the former left-arm said, “The inclusion of Stokes and Anderson will improve the overall performance of the English side.
"Pakistan must remain composed and cautious in next game as England may stage a comeback,” Wasim added.
Pakistan has just won at Lord's, the ground with the most history in Test cricket, and the one that has haunted Pakistan for six years. However, the Old Trafford wicket will assist both Yasir and Pakistan's seamers and feels that Mohammad Amir, with his much-anticipated return behind him, will be able to relax and produce improved performances in the rest of the series.
The second Test of the four-match series will commence from Friday, Jul 22, at Old Trafford, Manchester.
