England won the toss and opted to field in the second T20I of the three-match series at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday, August 30. England and Pakistan both named unchanged sides from the first T20I. The first clash at the same venue was abandoned due to rain with the hosts reaching 131/6 in 16.1 overs, following a 42-ball 71 by opener Tom Banton before the game was called off. Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan picked two wickets apiece while Iftikhar Ahmed accounted for the dismissal of opposition skipper Eoin Morgan. Morgan’s men lost four wickets for just 14 runs in the space of 19 deliveries during a spell, following the pressure generated by the slow bowlers. (Live Scorecard)

Morgan confirms Jordan’s return ahead of schedule

“It might be a little bit slower. We’ve gone with the same side. Chris Jordan is obviously back ahead of schedule. He’s been one of the most sought-after bowlers in the world,” says Eoin Morgan.

“We also planned to bowl first but the toss isn’t in our hands. The wicket is good and we’ll hope to post a big total. We’ve got the same team. Wahab is an outstanding bowler. We’re leaving him out due to the team combinations – we don’t want three left-arm seamers,” adds Babar Azam.
