DAVID LLOYD: Over the years, we've seen some outstanding players here. Who can forget our king Wasim Akram? The Old Trafford crowd matches Edgbaston and Headingley in terms of atmosphere. The party stand will be loud and England need that 12th man! Manchester is the only place like it. You can walk anywhere and if you don't fancy a stroll, get on the tram! They had me driving one at Sky when I was at Sky. I had to wear the hi-viz. I was driving fine until I missed an automatic parking space and the tram came to a halt abruptly. Everyone inside was thrown forward!

For one key reason, one of cricket's finest-ever bowlers has lauded Pat Cummins, who claims that the Aussie skipper is evidence that "bowlers will be more captains." Wasim Akram, who captained Pakistan for 25 games during his remarkable 104-Test career, has grown tired of Pat Cummins' remark about him and his captaincy. Cummins' captaincy has been scrutinized right from the get-goalas, with the belief that because he is a fast bowler, he will not be able to succeed. However, Akram dismissed the fierce skipper's blade, leading Australia to a dramatic victory in the first Ashes Test, demonstrating tremendous leadership and tenacity to chase down the English total with Nathan Lyon.

Sir Ian Botham, a legend in cricket, is selling coveted souvenirs from his career for £150,000.

Each of our players came to the fore at some point in the tournament, and we had a great run.' Every country participated in the group stage, and Lewis says we were the best team.'

Wasim Akram has spoken out about a heroin use that has left him inability to sleep or eat. Akram, 56, died 19 years ago as a World Cup champion with Pakistan and as one of the world's best fast bowlers of all time. However, he soon returned to opioids as a 'assistute to the adrenaline rush of sports,' which I regret greatly; or to take advantage of the opportunity, which I'd never had.'

With a win over Pakistan's under-fire openers, England was brought back to earth with a jolt, the most important 10-wicket victory in Twenty20 internationals history. It seems ridiculous to suggest that Mohammad Rizwan and Captain Babar Azam, the world's top one T20 batter and the one-day equivalent, respectively, should be the object of mockery. This is Pakistan, where expectation and admiration have never been greater than ever before, and the heat is certainly on as they began on the chase for a 200-run target to level the series under the National Stadium's lights.
