• England is now ahead 2-1 in the seven-match series.
• Pakistan play in its 200th T20 encounter on Sunday.
• Mohammad Wasim & Asif Ali will play today.

England captain Moeen Ali won the toss and chose to bat against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi today.

England is now ahead 2-1 in the seven-match series while playing their first visit of Pakistan in 17 years.

Pakistan, the first team to reach the milestone, will play in its 200th T20 encounter on Sunday.

From the previous game, England made three adjustments. While Olly Stone received his opportunity to play in an international T20 match, Alex Hales and David Willey entered the lineup.

They took the place of Mark Wood, Sam Curran, and Dawid Malan.

To bring Asif Ali and Muhammad Wasim, Pakistan left aside the unfit Haider Ali and Shahnawaz Dahani.

Lahore will host the remaining games (September 28, 30 and October 2).
