Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first against England in the fourth match of the ODI tri-series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.

The Green Shirts made two changes to their line-up, with Shadab Khan replacing Faheem Ashraf, while Razaullah will make his ODI debut in place of the injured Naseem Shah.

The Men in Green recently ended their four-match losing streak against England with a commanding 87-run victory in Rawalpindi. Pakistan successfully defended their total of 303, bowling England out for 215.

Form Guide

Pakistan are on a three-match winning streak in the 50-over format and have won four of their last five matches. The national side are just one win away from securing a place in the final of the ODI tri-series.

The Green Shirts have been in red-hot form, and their recent victories have given them considerable momentum heading into the clash against England.

Meanwhile, England are under scrutiny following a series of defeats, including their failure to defend a massive total of 430 against Sri Lanka, despite an exceptional double century from captain Harry Brook.

England will look to kick-start their campaign with a victory after suffering two defeats in the ongoing tri-series.
