Persistent rains at the Kennington Oval in London meant the first ODI between Pakistan and England ended without any result. It’s time now for the second ODI which will take place at the Rose Bowl in Southampton and the two teams would be eyeing to take the early advantage.
Match did start after a long rain interval and it was Pakistan who started with the bat. Imam-ul-Haq showed some good resilience as he remained unbeaten on 42 from 68 deliveries before the second rain interval forced the match to end.
Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam were sent back to the pavilion as Pakistan managed 80 on the board for the loss of 2 wickets in 19 overs. Jofra Archer and Liam Plunkett were the wicket-takers for England. However, both teams will have to start fresh now and apply themselves according to a 4-match series.
Pakistan won: 02
England won: 02
No Result/Tied: 01
Seamers will get assistance with the new ball as early swing in the air is expected. Batsmen will find it tough to score runs early on but as the game progresses it will be easy for the batsmen to score runs.
