Toss Pakistan chose to field vs England
Pakistan have made two changes to their side, including an extra spin option in the form of Shadab Khan, making accommodations for Gaddafi's more spin friendly nature. Razaullah also comes in to make his ODI debut, with Faheem Ashraf and Naseem Shah sitting out, the latter having dislocated his finger in the warm-ups.
England will have to set a target three days after their inability to defend 429 against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi. While the most intense speculation centred around their decision to leave Adil Rashid out of the side, that has not changed. The visitors have instead given fast bowler Henry Crocombe an international debut, with Josh Tongue sitting out.
Pakistan: 1 Saim Ayub, 2 Fakhar Zaman, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Saad Baig (wk), 5 Salman Agha, 6 Hasan Nawaz, 7 Arafat Minhas, 8 Shadab Khan, 9 Shaheen Afridi (capt), 10 Razaullah, 11 Haris Rauf
England: 1 Tom Banton, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Joe Root, 4 Harry Brook (capt), 5 Jordan Cox (wk), 6 Sam Curran, 7 Will Jacks, 8 Jamie Overton, 9 Liam Dawson, 10 Gus Atkinson, 11 Henry Crocombe
