Pakistan vs England Live Toss Update as Eng Choose to Bowl

Pakistan face England in the second match of the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series 2026 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on October 20. The seven-match tournament features Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka, with the top two teams advancing to the final on October 31.

England won the toss and elected to bowl first, putting Pakistan in to bat. Captain Harry Brook will look to make an early impact with the ball, while Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi will aim to lead his side to a strong total on home soil.

The pre-match win-probability figures gave England a 60% chance of winning, compared with Pakistan's 40%. These figures are estimates, not a guarantee of the final result.

Pakistan Playing XI

Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Saad Baig (WK), Salman Ali Agha, Hasan Nawaz, Arafat Minhas, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi (C), Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf. 

Pakistan's immediate task is to make the most of batting first. A steady start would give their middle order a platform to accelerate later in the innings, although England's bowling plans will determine how freely the hosts can score.

England Playing XI

Ben Duckett, Tom Banton, Joe Root, Harry Brook (C), Jordan Cox (WK), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Sonny Baker. 

Choosing to bowl first gives England the chance to assess the pitch while trying to restrict Pakistan's scoring. Pakistan, meanwhile, need to turn their first-innings opportunity into a competitive total.
