Watch the first ball of a historic series between England and Pakistan

After an eventful day where both PCB and ECB had to monitor an illness rocking the England camp and discuss about delaying the series opener, the confirmation finally came through this morning that the Test will go ahead as planned.

The anthems are done and the players are taking the field. Naseem Shah will kick things off on the historic occasion. Three slips are in place, and a short leg as Crawley shoulders arms to the first ball after England opt to bat.
