Pakistan Vs England: England opening batsman Dawid Malan and Philip Salt started England’s chase after finishing Pakistan’s innings on 141.

Score: 100/1 (16.0)

While the measly 142-run target may not provide a challenge to England, it appears that Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has intended to give the hosts a hard time, as he has taken the team’s first wicket.

Phil Salt, who was caught in the slips and contributed seven runs to the chase, was dismissed by Afridi.

Pakistan was hoping for a miracle but that didn’t happen and they are just going through the motions, probably waiting for the game to end.

Pakistan Vs England: Pakistan’s ODI campaign against England has started on a shaky note, as they have already lost four wickets.

Score: 72/4 (After 17 overs)

Saqib Mahmood just dismissed Saud Shakeel for five runs.

Mohammad Rizwan was the most recent victim of Simpson b Gregory.

Babar Azam, the captain, also failed to impress, when he was dismissed for a duck by Saqib Mahmood.

The visitors’ ODI campaign got off to a bumpy start as opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq was bowled for no runs by Mahmood.

In the opening ODI match of the three-day series in Cardiff, the hosts won the toss and chose to bowl against Pakistan.

Five players made their England debuts. Test batsman Zak Crawley was named alongside Sussex all-rounder Lewis Gregory, Durham fast bowler Brydon Carse, and Middlesex wicketkeeper John Simpson.

Middle-order batsman Saud Shakeel made his debut for Pakistan.

Following the COVID outbreak in the originally named team, the match between the Babar Azam-led Green Shirts and a weaker England squad began at 5pm [Pakistan Standard Time] at Sophia Gardens.

Head to Head record:

Matches played: 88 | England Won: 53 | Pakistan Won: 32 | Tied: 0 | No result: 3
