The Pakistan cricket team toured England in August and September 2020 to play three Tests and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The Test series formed part of the inaugural 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship.[2] The first Test and the T20I matches were played at Old Trafford,[3] and the second and third Test matches were played at the Rose Bowl.[4] All of the fixtures were played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
On 5 August 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for the first time in Test cricket.[6] The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls and communicated this with the on-field umpires.[7] This followed a successful trial in the One Day International (ODI) matches between England and Ireland in the World Cup Super League, which concluded the day before the Test series.[8]
On the final day of the third Test, England's James Anderson became the first fast bowler to take 600 Test wickets.[9] England won the three-match Test series 1–0, after the second and third Tests were drawn.[10] The T20I series was drawn 1–1, with the first match being washed out.[11]
