MUMBAI, November 11: Ten Sports, the world’s number one sports channel for south Asians, will telecast ball-by-ball coverage of England’s Tour of Pakistan, which starts with the first Test on Saturday, November 12.

Buoyed by their recent performance against Australia in the Ashes, England will be looking for a win against Pakistan.

With the English captain, Michael Vaughan, out of the first test due to knee injury and the visitors losing the warm-up match against Pakistan A, the task seems to be cut out for the host nation. Marcus Trescothick will lead the English team in Vaughan’s absence.

England plays three Test matches and five ODIs, with the first test scheduled in Multan from November 12-16, followed by the second test in Faisalabad form November 20-24 and the third test in Lahore from November 29 to December 3.

Ten Sports has the exclusive rights to telecast all international cricket from Pakistan. Live coverage of the first two Tests starts at 9:50 am IST for all the five days, while the third test will begin at 10:30 am IST.
