Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed believes his side can hit even greater heights against England in the second Test at Headingley despite a nine-wicket win in the series opener at Lord's. Victory, completed inside four days at the 'home of cricket,' put Pakistan 1-0 up with one to play and on the verge of a first series win in England since fast bowling greats Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis starred in a 1996 success. Pakistan were widely acknowledged to have outplayed England in all departments at Lord's in the first Test of the current campaign but wicket-keeper Sarfraz has urged them not to rest their laurels. "We need to keep improving all the time," Sarfraz said Wednesday. "As well as we played at Lord's, we can still play better than that.
"We made four 50s at Lord's -- and if one of them had gone on to the big hundred that would've been even better. (Same with the bowlers) if they take three or four wickets, make it five or six."
Sarfraz is well aware of what it would mean to emulate Pakistan's series win in England 22 years ago.
