After the rain-affected Test series, England and Pakistan go head-to-head in T20Is with the first one the three matches on Friday.

England won the Test series 1-0, courtesy a three-wicket win at Old Trafford, Manchester. It was followed by two drawn matches at the Rose Bowl, Southampton despite brilliant individual performances.

Now both the teams returned the venue where the tour started, albeit with different teams.

Unlike the Test series, where England were clearly the dominant side, the T20 series will witness a very strong Pakistan side. But head-to-head record between the two former world champions favour England, 4-2 in seven matches with one draw.
