LEEDS: Pakistan captain Azhar Ali won the toss and elected to bat against England in the fourth one-day international at Headingley on Thursday.
England made three changes from the side that scored a world ODI record 444 for three in a 169-run win at Trent Bridge on Tuesday as they went 3-0 up in this five-match ******. Wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow returned on his Yorkshire home ground after Jos Buttler suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out in the warm-up. David Willey, Bairstow´s Yorshire team-mate, replaced fast bowler Mark Wood and Chris Jordan took over from fellow all-rounder Chris Woakes. There were five Yorkshire players in England´s XI -- Joe Root, Bairstow, Willey, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid. Pakistan, bidding to avoid a ****** whitewash, made four changes. Left-arm quicks Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz, together with off-spinning all-rounder Shoaib Malik and leg-spinner Yasir Shah were all left out. Giant paceman Mohammad Irfan and batsman Mohammad Rizwan were selected for their first match of the ******. Meanwhile spin-bowling all-rounder Imad Wasim returned after his knee injury, with experienced paceman Umar Gul recalled as well. England have only once completed a whitewash in a one-day ****** of five matches or more when they won 5-0 away to Zimbabwe in 2001. أكثر... |
