Despite the poor form, Babar Azam is still Pakistan's best Test batter by a country mile. He has performed exceedingly well across formats, and has been the pillar of strength for the Pakistan side. However, the last one-year has been traumatising for Babar.

He failed against Australia, Down Under, and was exposed against the Bangladesh side, scoring just 64 runs in four innings. So much so, that his Test ranking slipped below the 10th position, for the first time in many years.

He needs to find his form back, especially with the England series around the corner. The former Test captain boasts a stellar record against them (both home and away) will need to be amongst the runs if Pakistan are to win the series. Hence, we take a look at Babar's Test record against England.

The right-handed batter has racked up 6 fifties and a solitary hundred against England, showcasing his prowess against a quality bowling attack.
