The second T-20 of three-match series between Pakistan and England will be played in Leeds.

After being washed out in three ODIs, Pakistan gave an impressive comeback as green-shirts defeated England in first T201 in a thrilling game on Friday.

However, Pakistan lead the three match series One-Nil.

As per the first match, England won the toss and chose to bowl first in the first of three T20Is against Pakistan at Trent Bridge.

Pakistan scored 232 for six, while England chased the score with bit impressive knock, but the entire team collapsed at 201 in 19.2 overs.

Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers returning figures of 3/30. Pakistani openers Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan made partnership of 150 runs that led to a fighting total of 232.

England, who swept the ODI series 3-0 earlier this week with a second-string side, have regained a number of top players but, with captain Eoin Morgan saying he was keen to try out some new faces ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year, the hosts pulled a few surprises for this match.
