Sir Ian Botham believes the return of James Anderson will give England the edge in the second Test against Pakistan

Sir Ian Botham and Shane Warne have taken part in a charity golf challenge, in which the cricketing greats played 18 holes in 18 different counties.

The duo travelled the country in two helicopters, beginning the challenge in County Durham at 6am and finishing at The Belfry shortly after 10pm.

The money raised will help to fund specific projects relating to chronic illnesses and other challenges that young people face.

The duo also gave us their thoughts on the England-Pakistan series ahead of Friday's second Test at Old Trafford.

Botham is confident that, with the return of James Anderson, England can bounce back from defeat at Lord's and level the series, and he also welcomes potential changes to the selection process.

However, Warne was impressed by Pakistan in the first Test and believes England must improve their batting if they are to make it 1-1.
