Manchester: Pakistan have decided to bat after winning the toss in the first match of the three-Test series against England here on Wednesday.

Pakistan captain Azhar Ali won the toss and decided to bat first.

Azhar Ali said that we have no control over the weather but we are entering the field with positive thinking.

“We are playing with two spinners and three seamers because when you come to England you have to come in with full bowling and batting,” he said.
