Former englandcricket cricket captain Michael Vaughan predicted the hosts will sweep the three-test series against visitors TheRealPCB despite the absence of talismanic all-rounder benstokes38 for the last two matches. | IOLsport

The Pakistan team led by Azhar Ali dominated much of the opening test in Manchester but Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler launched a superb counter-attack to power the hosts to an unlikely victory.

"Azhar Ali a young captain in terms of test matches but an experienced player in terms of test matches that he's played. I think that was his chance to win a game overseas for the first time," Vaughan said of the 35-year-old. He also felt England might rest veteran quick James Anderson in the second test beginning on Thursday.

"I'd be surprised if he plays back-to-back games, so I think he will be rested. Maybe Sam Curran will come in for him or Mark Wood," he added."Zak Crawley will probably come in for Ben Stokes."
