    It's been a phenomenal series to watch. You've got two of the best teams in the world, two very dynamic teams and they keep going punch for punch.

    Pakistan captain Babar Azam: "I'd have bowled first. There will be a dew factor, but we will try to limit them to 160, 170 runs and try to defend it.

    [On Aamir Jamal's performance in the last match]: "I appreciate what he did in the last match. The plans were simple, wide yorkers. He was doing very well, it was a good job in the last over."

    In the last match, Pakistan edged out England with a six-run victory in a low-scoring match in Lahore.

    Chasing just 146 for the win, England never recovered from a poor start in the powerplay that saw them reduced to 31-3 inside five overs.

    A defiant knock from captain Moeen Ali, who ended unbeaten on 51, left England needing 15 runs off the last over, but some superb death bowling from debutant Aamir Jamal saw them fall just short on 139-7.

    A chance to bounce back today.

    England captain Moeen Ali: "The wicket will stay good throughout today. In the last game it was a little bit tacky but we feel we have to chase well and win the game.

    "If you play the way we play, you have to stick with your players as much as you can. It's only fair. It's not always about going hard, you've got to adapt to the conditions and that was the disappointing thing last game.

    "Hopefully we can do that today and play well, and chase the runs down.

    "Two changes: Wood and Woakes are out for Topley and Gleeson."
