Misbah: Captain. Leader. Legend.
"Really proud of the team, how they fought. Everyone bowled well and was patient. It has been a remarkable turnaround from the 2010 incident.
"This team took responsibility, they showed respect for the game. They have been very responsible on and off the field and we are pleased to have won against a top side in their own conditions.
"Amir is part of the team, this is going to be a very memorable day for him. He can prove to everyone that he is a good kid now. He is a good bowler."
Alastair Cook
"We left a few runs out there in the first innings. That was the time to bat and we should have got the runs then. To allow Yasir to get six wickets on the second day when it wasn't turning is not good enough."
"We were always two wickets behind, there were some shots... If we could have batted like Chris and Jonny did earlier then it would have been different.
"Credit to Pakistan. We are very confident that we can beat them. But they are a good side."
Pakistan 339 & 215 beat England 272 & 207 by 75 runs
This could be a special series. Huge talent in this Pakistan team, with the brilliant leggie and the trio of left-armers. They will enjoy the pitch at Old Trafford and are a formidable proposition when they have their tails up. That said, England will welcome back one or both of James Anderson and Ben Stokes and will be stronger for that.
