Pakistan to face England in four-test series

Pakistan will begin a four-test series against England tomorrow in the belief that their young side is about to start a new era in the national game.
Pakistan will be back in action just five days after securing a tense three-wicket triumph over Australia at Leeds in England, which squared that test series 1-1.
Many observers had predicted that Salman Butt's team, playing as the home side due to security concerns in Pakistan, would have collapsed in pursuit of a modest target of 180 on Saturday. Instead, his side came through for an exhilarating victory.
Butt says the win signals a new beginning for Pakistan cricket, and especially for a young side.
He also says he would love to have succeeded in front of a home crowd in Pakistan.
