It is worth mentioning here that Pakistan shocked England by 14 runs at Trent Bridge on Monday as they ended a long losing streak in one-day internationals despite two centuries for the World Cup host nation.
Pakistan had set a mammoth target of 349 runs for the hosts after being sent into bat by Eoin Morgan. Mohammad Hafeez (84) led a vastly improved Pakistan batting effort that saw Babar Azam (63) and Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed (55) also making fifties.
England were then restricted to 334 runs by the Pakistan bowlers. Joe Root (107) and Jos Buttler (103) put on 130 for the fifth wicket but both were out shortly after reaching their hundreds and the tail had too much to do.
