Pakistan would definitely like to win the first test. Earlier, the hosts had played a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Bangladesh won this two-match test series by 2-0.
Currently, the Pakistan team has performed well in the series being played against England so far. If England wants to make a comeback in this match, they will have to all out Pakistan as soon as possible. However, it is not going to be so easy for them to do so because the hosts still have many batsmen who can play excellent innings for their team.
