According to the local met office, it may possible that rain will disrupt the first day of the match.

Sarfraz Ahmad, while talking to newsmen ahead of Lord’s Test, said he is satisfied with the team’s preparations and Green Shirts can turn the tide anytime, against anyone, anywhere.

The captain added, English team may be favorite under home conditions but he has confidence in his young team and is confident of his skills too.

He said it was important Pakistan treated the match like any other and did not play the likes of England stalwarts Alastair Cook, Stuart Broad and James Anderson on their reputations.

“The worse will be that we lose this match, but this is a young team, seven of our players will be playing at Lord’s for the first time so that in itself an honour.

Sarfraz, a key member of the Pakistan side that drew 2-2 in a four-Test series in England two years ago, accepted the hosts would be tough to beat on their own soil.

But he also said there was an opportunity for Pakistan given England failed to win any of their seven most recent Tests, in Australia and New Zealand.

Pakistan, seventh in the Test rankings, come into this game on the back of a five-wicket win over Test debutants in Ireland, where the conditions were similar to those they could face at Lord´s if confronted with a typical early-season English pitch offering seam movement and some overcast skies.
