England vs Pakistan 2026 Test Series

This section covers the England vs Pakistan 2026 Test series, part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27.

Tests between these two sides are rarely dull. England’s attacking approach with the bat meets a Pakistan side that relies on pace bowling and, when conditions allow, spin. In English conditions, with movement in the air and off the pitch, the battle between Pakistan’s batters and England’s seamers usually decides the series.

For every Test we publish a preview with the probable playing 11, the pitch and weather outlook, head to head records and the key player battles. Result reports explain how the match was won across five days, and every post looks at what the result means for both teams in the WTC points table.

The series also matters for the future. Both teams are using it to test younger players and settle their best XI for the rest of the WTC cycle.
