21:33 hrs IST

Buttler in control

England are averaging one boundary every over and that is not good news for Pakistan. With spin on both ends, they are trying to make Jos Buttler nervous but he is batting on 33 off 24 balls while Joe Root is looking as confident as ever on the other end. England 175/4

21:24 hrs IST

19:51 hrs IST

Captains speak

Morgan: We’re gonna bowl first. Looks a good wicket and the dimensions are smaller than The Oval. So we need to look at all that. We have one change - Wood comes in for Plunkett. Reason for this is the genuine pace that he provides. He bowled well in the recent series against them. We’re always looking to improve and striving to give a perfect performance. Of course you don’t get near to it all the time but if you try to get there, you’re in a good space.

Sarfaraz: I also wanted to bowl first. Looks a good batting pitch, so we’re hoping to put runs on the board and defend. I think it’s a one-off performance (against WI) and hoping to get things right today. Yes, we batted well against them in the recent series and hopefully, that will continue.

As far as the team is concerned, Asif Ali could be slotted back into the playing XI to bolster the power-hitting quotient. This could also see Imad Wasim being benched.

Here is Pakistan’s predicted XI for the match.

13:33 hrs IST

Pakistan promise chin music

Pakistan’s bowling, whatever opportunity it got against West Indies, showed promise. Especially Mohammed Amir, who went on to take all three West Indies wickets. But Mahmood sees more into that brief display of bowling. “At least we bowled a lot of short balls and we mixed that up, so definitely we can do that. We have got bowlers who can bowl 140-plus, so they can do the same thing to England batters,” said Mahmood.

13:17 hrs IST

Hello and welcome

Pakistan were blown away by a ruthless West Indies bowling attack. England, on the other hand, were convincing in their win against South Africa. These two team clash now, and for Pakistan, they need to regroup fast against this England ODI juggernaut at Nottingham, and this task will not be easy. Azhar Mahmood did not want to read too much into the drubbing against West Indies and now wants his own bowlers to be aggressive and try out the short-pitched stuff against England.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match between England and Pakistan from Nottingham.
