How to watch England vs Pakistan: live stream Test cricket wherever you are

It's been a long hard winter for the England cricket team. The seven winter Tests in Australia and New Zealand were a difficult and humbling slog. So there's a lot riding on the first international match of the summer - and we'll tell you how to live stream the cricket wherever you are.

England vs Pakistan is taking place at Lord's this week where the team will play their first Test since hiring Former English batsman Ed Smith as the new national selector for the team. Despite losing the Ashes at the start of the year, there's a certain optimism around the new setup.

Pakistan, on the other hand, have had mixed results of late. An away series win in the West Indies was the high point of 2017, balanced by the whitewash by Sri Lanka that followed. They'll be desperate to repeat their Lord's Test win from 2016.

We have our fingers crossed for ten days of wonderful cricket, especially as the weather forecast is looking good throughout. You can watch all of the action wherever you are in the world with a live stream. Below we'll talk you through how you can do that on your TV or via a live stream to your favorite devices from wherever you are.
