London, July 31: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) does not expect England's first Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford to be affected by the coronavirus restrictions in Greater Manchester. The first of the three-match Test series is set to begin on August 5.

The government on Friday hardened lockdown restrictions in Greater Manchester and other areas in northern England after a spike in coronavirus cases. Separate households are now barred from meeting each other at home after a spike in Covid-19 cases.
