Pakistan warmed up for their first Test against England at Headingley with a seven-wicket win over a County Select XI, as Saud Shakeel hit an unbeaten hundred and Imam-ul-Haq scored 80. Set 262 to win on the third and final day, the tourists reached the target in 57.1 overs, while England spinner Bashir recorded 0-45 after taking 4-76 in the first innings.\n\nEngland may name an all‑pace frontline in Leeds, with recalled Dan Lawrence batting at No 6 and captain Joe Root providing the spin options, while Bashir hopes to be included in the XI for the series.\n\nBabar Azam retired hurt after being struck on the hand by Hampshire quick Manny Lumsden but will train on Monday, and he said the preparation was good, noting the pitch became more responsive after a couple of days. The PCB confirmed he will prepare for the upcoming Test, which begins in Leeds on August 19.\n\nThe three‑Test series runs from August 19 at Headingley, August 27 at Lord’s and September 9 at Edgbaston, all starting at 11 am, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Cricket.
