He also confirmed two changes to the starting XI that ended England’s season just 23 days ago at the Kia Oval to confirm a 2-1 series win over fellow Tri-Series side Sri Lanka. Adil Rashid, who missed this series due to a hand injury, returns for his 165th ODI, replacing left-arm orthodox spinner Liam Dawson.
Sam Curran, another player missing last month, returns to the squad after an adductor injury. His reintroduction is easy as Jofra Archer is rested from this tour. Pakistan remain unchanged, with Shaheen Afridi buoyed by a professional start to the season, opening the three-team celebrations with a 37-run win over Sri Lanka at this stadium on Sunday.
“In the last game we also fought first, so it won’t be any different,” Afridi said. “The boys have played already on this wicket.” Pakistan’s ctain cited a T20 against Sri Lanka nine days ago in which the hosts posted 215 for 3 batting first, and will aim to follow suit with another insurmountable first-innings score. Even the first ODI could have been more of a race without the quicks: the quartet of Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf and Afridi outwitted a seemingly well-managed Sri Lankan chase.
From 210 for 4 chasing 306, they were dismissed for 268. Pakistan (ct), 5 Jordan Cox (wk), 6 Sam Curran, 7 Will Jacks, 8 Jamie Overton, 9 Gus Atkinson, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Sonny Baker Adil Rashid struggles for his first wicket of the series, England v India, 3rd ODI, Lord’s, London, 19th July 2026
