Pakistan come into the match after beating Sri Lanka by 37 runs on Sunday. Salman Ali Agha led their batting effort with a comeback century, while heavy dew made bowling difficult under lights at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

England make two changes

Pakistan have kept the same playing XI, with four fast bowlers and two spin-bowling all-rounders in Arafat Minhas and Saim Ayub.

England are without Jos Buttler and Jofra Archer for the tri-series. Buttler is out with a hamstring injury, while Archer has been rested.

Jordan Cox has replaced Buttler as wicketkeeper, while Sonny Baker comes into the side in place of Archer. England have picked four seamers and specialist spinner Adil Rashid.

Brook, who has scored 1,126 runs in 16 international matches across formats in Pakistan, said dew could play an important role in the match. He hopes England can restrict Pakistan’s batting first.
