Two teams desperate for success meet when England and Pakistan begin a three-Test series on Wednesday in Leeds.
Neither has won a series of two Tests or more in almost two years. England’s last such triumph was in December 2024 in New Zealand. Pakistan’s last was in October that same year at home against England.
