Now, after five matches, the two teams meet in Manchester for a finale. The series has so far proved to be a high-scoring affair. In the first match, Pakistan set a 233-run target then dismissed England for 201 in 19.2 overs as the encounter resulted in 433 runs.

Azam scored a fluent 85 off 49, and added 150 for the first wicket in 14.4 overs with his opening partner Mohammad Rizwan, who scores a 41-ball 63. But they were trumped by Liam Livingstone, who scored a 43-103 in a losing cause. And more surprisingly, Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi took home the man of the match award for his three wickets.

In the second match, England set a target of 201 runs, with stand-in skipper Jos Buttler scoring 59 off 39. Livingstone once again played a crucial knock, hitting 38 off 23 balls. But it was Moeen Ali, who stole the show with an all-round show. He first scored 36 off 16, then claimed a couple of wickets as England restricted Pakistan to 155/9.

Head-to-head

In their previous 20 meetings, England have won 13 times, while Pakistan six. One match was no result (Old Trafford, August 28, 2020).

England also led the series head-to-head record, 4-2. In the last series, they played out 1-1 in England.

England are looking for back-to-back series wins following their 3-0 win against Sri Lanka, while Pakistan are chasing a fourth win on the trot. They beat South Africa 2-1 at home, then beat the Proteas 3-1 away. And beat Zimbabwe 2-1, also away.
