Cricket legend Ian Botham has said England must put their batting collapses behind them, when they take on Pakistan in the fourth Test from Thursday at Lord's.

"England have got stability in selection for the fourth Test running - now I want to see the batsmen offer the same in the middle order. If we lose five wickets in a session out in Australia, nine times out of 10 that Test match will be a gone," The Mirror quoted Botham as saying.

Botham further said he expects a good show from England at Lord's.
