The third ODI between Pakistan and England will be played today. The visiting team has a decisive lead in the three-match series. The match will start at 5 pm Pakistan time.

To avoid a clean sweep, the national squad practiced hard in Edgbaston, overcoming batting and bowling shortcomings, as well as participating in physical training.

One to two changes are expected from Pakistan for the last ODI.

In the second ODI played on July 10, England defeated Pakistan by 52 runs to take a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Apart from Saud Shakeel and Hassan Ali, none of the players showed significant performance. Saud Shakeel scored 56 runs while scoring the first half century of his career. Hassan Ali played an innings of 31 runs off 17 balls with three sixes in his innings.
