Tom Curran has been the best bowler for England and has picked up 2 wickets while bowling at an average of 23 and an economy rate of 11.75.

It will be interesting to see if England replace David Willey or Saqib Mahmood to give Jake Ball an opportunity. Will Adil Rashid play ahead of Matthew Parkinson?

Mohammad Hasnain played the series opener in place of Hasan Ali after the latter had a slight niggle. If Ali returns, Haris Rauf will have to sit out.
