Pakistan batsman Younis Khan is relishing the prospect of facing England's vaunted pace attack as his side prepares to return to the scene of the infamous spot-fixing scandal of 2010.
Khan believes Pakistan's familiarity with Stuart Broad and James Anderson will blunt the pair's potency when the four-Test series begins at Lord's on July 14.
England's fast bowlers combined to take 33 wickets in the recent 2-0 win over Sri Lanka, with Anderson's 21 wickets coming at just 10.8 runs apiece, but Khan insists his side will not roll over as easy.
The two teams last played in October and November last year in the UAE, with Pakistan prevailing 2-0 in the three match series.
"No doubt about Anderson and Broad - they are the top bowlers these days. But we play regularly against Broad and Steven Finn and Anderson," he said.
"It is always a pleasure whenever you play in Lord's," Khan said. "The tradition and using that dressing room and that ground... in my mind it's always a challenge and a pleasure for me so playing cricket in England is all about that.
"If you go there and play according to your plans you'll be successful in any conditions and against any bowler."
Khan has an average of 52.22 in five Tests in England, hitting one century and three fifties.
"Maybe it will be my final tour," he said. "As a cricketer and as a top sportsman, I feel very comfortable with my fitness and my form so God willing (if) I perform the way I perform for my country maybe I will play for four-five more years, maybe."
