England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope has no doubt that Chris Woakes will expertly spearhead their pace attack in the three-test series in Pakistan beginning in Multan on Monday.

Pope revealed that Woakes has been actively seeking advice from his teammates and working on strategies to take wickets with the Kookabur

Pakistan suffered another humbling defeat in September, which saw Bangladesh enjoy a six-wicket haul to confirm a 2-0 Test series win. They have just two series victories in their last nine, while England arrive unbeaten in 10, stretching back to March 2022.
