England take on Pakistan in the first Test match of the England vs Pakistan three-match Test series on Wednesday, August 5. The ENG vs PAK live match will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester. The England vs Pakistan match will begin from 3:30 PM IST. Pakistan is one of the few teams that have consistently challenged England in Tests in their own backyard, courtesy of their fast bowling attack. However, England have the advantage of already having played three competitive test matches in home conditions, as they emerged victorious against West Indies to win the series.

ENG vs PAK live scores: ENG vs PAK 1st Test weather and pitch report

The first day of the England vs Pakistan test faces a 50% chance of rain, with low temperatures and high humidity to accompany as well. However, the threat of rain reduces as the game goes on, as only Thursday sees a slight chance of rain, with the rest of the days predicted to be warm with no rain expected. The pitch for the England vs Pakistan match looks to be a great wicket, with there being something for everyone.

The overcast conditions are bound to held bowlers, who may see movement early on. The end of the Test match will also see the spinners come into play, as they get purchase from the wicket. Batsmen would face better batting conditions during the first few days of the match, with conditions deteriorating from thereon. This could prove to be true as Pakistan coach Misbah-ul-Haq recently hinted at not being afraid of playing two spinners, a rarity in a Test match in England for any overseas team. The team winning the toss could bat first.
