England have won the toss for the final T20 match of the series against Pakistan in Manchester and have elected to field first. 

After the splendid effort by the England batsmen in chasing down 195 in the last game, Captain Eoin Morgan is confident about his side replicating the effort. “It looks a little bit drier but still good,” he says when asked about the pitch. England are unchanged again.

“We planned to bowl first but we will try to post a good total,” says Babar Azam. Three changes for Pakistan: Haider Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Wahab Riaz come in. Haider, the 19-year-old debutant, replaces Iftikhar Ahmed, Sarfaraz takes the gloves from Mohammad Rizwan and Riaz comes in for the injured Mohammad Amir.

England: 1. Tom Banton, 2. Jonny Bairstow (wk), 3. Dawid Malan, 4. Eoin Morgan (capt), 5. Moeen Ali, 6. Sam Billings, 7. Lewis Gregory, 8. Tom Curran, 9. Chris Jordan, 10. Adil Rashid, 11. Saqib Mahmood

Pakistan: 1. Babar Azam (capt), 2. Fakhar Zaman, 3. Haider Ali, 4. Mohammad Hafeez, 5. Shoaib Malik, 6. Shadab Khan, 7. Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), 8. Imad Wasim, 9. Wahab Riaz, 10. Haris Rauf, 11. Shaheen Afridi
