Toss and team news


Pakistan captain Azhar Ali won the toss and elected to bat in the second one-day international against England at Lord`s on Saturday.


England were unchanged from the side that won the rain-affected first ODI by 44 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method at Southampton on Wednesday.

Sami Aslam, as he did in Pakistan`s preceding 2-2 drawn Test series with England, replaced Mohammad Hafeez, with the top-order batsman now struggling with a knee injury.


Meanwhile leg-spinner Yasir Shah, one of the stars of Pakistan`s rise to number one in the Test rankings, came in for Mohammad Nawaz while Hasan Ali took over from fellow paceman Umar Gul.


England XI: JJ Roy, AD Hales, JE Root, EJG Morgan, BA Stokes, JC Buttler†, MM Ali, CR Woakes, AU Rashid, LE Plunkett, MA Wood
