The toss goes your way sometimes, it doesn't at times, you'll have to play good cricket. You've to be consistent, back your players and give them chances, give the players as many Tests as possible. We'll have to wait to see how it plays, the preparation has been different and both teams have looked at that. We're all excited to play against a team like England, we'll have to take it day by day.
Pakistan skipper Shan Masood
We will bat first. We'll have to wait and see, looks like a good wicket for now and it's another challenge ahead of us. You have special moments as a team, but this is a completely different wicket. Great to have Rehan back, free-spirited cricketer and gives his best, whether it's with the bat, ball or in the field.
England captain Ben Stokes
