Pakistan has concluded its preparation for the opening Test match against England, scheduled to begin this Wednesday at Headingley. In a warm-up fixture against a County Select XI, the touring side secured a seven-wicket victory.

The performance was anchored by Saud Shakeel, who remained unbeaten after scoring a century. Additionally, opening batter Imam-ul-Haq contributed 80 runs to the team's total. This match provided the Pakistani squad with an opportunity to adjust to local conditions and refine their batting order before the official series commences.

While the outcome of the warm-up is positive for Pakistan, the match was played against a select side rather than the full England Test team. The focus now shifts to the first Test, where Pakistan will face the England national side. Both teams are currently finalizing their preparations, with the Headingley pitch expected to be a key factor in the upcoming series opener.
