FOUR! Textbook cover-drive! Full and on off, Jos Buttler leans into it, watches the ball closely and creams it through the covers for a boundary.

A slip in place for Jos Buttler.

Back of a length on middle and leg, Malan plays it towards mid-wicket for one. He gets off the mark.

Ohh, so close! Length delivery around off, seaming in. Malan looks to defend but misses. The ball was whisker away from hitting the off pole.

Back of a length delivery on off, 134kph, Malan taps it towards point.

Shaheen Afridi will bowl from the other end.

Floated it up outside off, Butter drills it towards covers. What a start for Pakistan. 11 runs from the over but got the important wicket of Roy.

Quicker delivery on middle, Buttler blocks it out.

OUT! TAKEN! Imad Wasim has the last laugh! Pitches it a bit slow on middle, Jason Roy goes for another big shot. He makes room for himself, shuffles down the leg side and heaves it over point. Didn't quite middle it though and Mohammad Hafeez completes the catch with ease. Imad Wasim draws the first blood and it is the priced wicket of Jason Roy. He was looking dangerous but Wasim has sent him back.

Who will walk out to bat now? It is Dawid Malan.

WIDE! Down the leg side. Roy misses his sweep. Wided.

FOUR! Classic! Full and on middle, Jason Roy gets on his knee and sweeps it towards deep square leg for a boundary. That went in a flash!

SIX! Welcome into the attack Imad Wasim! Flatter delivery on middle, Jason Roy makes room for himself and sails this one into the crowd for the first maximum. England and Jason Roy are underway!

Full and quicker on off, Roy pushes it towards mid off.

We are set to begin! The Pakistan players form a huddle and make their way out in the middle. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler to open the innings for England. Imad Wasim to start with the ball. Here we go...

England (Playing XI) - Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (C/WK) (IN PLACE OF EOIN MORGAN), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan (IN PLACE OF DAVID WILLEY), Adil Rashid (IN PLACE OF LEWIS GREGORY), Saqib Mahmood, Matthew Parkinson.

Pakistan (Playing XI) -  Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Babar Azam (C), Sohaib Maqsood, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Azam Khan, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain.

TOSS time at Headingley! Up goes the coin and lands in the favor of Pakistan. They have elected to BOWL first.

There is news from the England camp that Jos Buttler will captain the England side as Eoin Morgan has rested himself.

Pakistan might not tinker with their winning combination as a victory will give them a series win. After the carnage in Nottingham, Mohammad Rizwan will continue to open alongside his skipper, Babar Azam with Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez in the middle order.

England are set to make changes and it is likely that Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan who were rested will return for this match. Jos Buttler has recovered from his calf injury too and the head coach Paul Collingwood confirmed that he will be back in the playing 11 which could mean either David Malan or Johny Bairstow might be given a rest.

For those who haven't checked it out yet, the 2021 T20 World Cup schedule has been announced and some mouth-watering matches await us. England are in Group 1 which can be termed as the 'Group of Death' with Australia, West Indies, and South Africa in the same group. Pakistan finds themselves in Group 2 and they will clash against India along with New Zealand and Afghanistan.

Time for Round 2! After a high-scoring run spree, England and Pakistan will again battle out in the second T20I. Pakistan ticked all the boxes in the first match. They will be desperate to carry on the winning momentum. For Morgan and Co. the match is a must-win affair to level the series 1-1. Is another high-scoring encounter on the cards? Will Pakistan win and seal the series? Or will England bounce back? Too many questions which will be answered shortly. Toss and lineups in a bit.
