Pakistan's win at Lord's in 1996 was monumental, as it was the first time a team won a Test match after being forced to follow on.

Pakistan holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak against England in Test matches, with a span of 17 matches from 1982 to 1985.
In the 2016 ODI series, Pakistan achieved a remarkable victory by chasing down 444 runs, which is still one of the highest successful chases in ODI history.

Mysterious Rain:
The 2001 Test match at The Oval is remembered for its bizarre interruption when rain fell unexpectedly during a Pakistani batting collapse.
Fast Bowling Prowess:
England has historically struggled against Pakistan's pace attack, with Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis often being the bane of English batsmen.
Misbah’s Record:
Misbah-ul-Haq holds the record for the highest individual score in a Test match against England by a Pakistani captain, scoring 161 not out at the 2013 Test at Abu Dhabi.
Pakistan faced England in the T20 World Cup final in 2009, securing their first T20 World Cup title and marking a significant moment in the rivalry.
Shared Captaincy:
In a rare occurrence, both teams were captained by cricketers of the same name—Misbah-ul-Haq for Pakistan and Alastair Cook for England—in a memorable series.
