One of the key factors in the loss was the batting display, where apart from Babar Azam (60) and Haris Sohail (50), none of the batsmen were able to post a big score on the board, resulting in visitors being restricted to 173/6 at the end of the twenty overs. England chased down the target in 19.2 overs with seven wickets remaining. But Pakistan now return to Kennington Oval, a ground which changed fortunes for them at 2017 Champions Trophy. This is the same ground where they beat India in the finals by 180 runs, to lift the trophy. History is a great motivator and the heroics of that day will surely lift their spirits. Pakistan had an average year in 50-over cricket in 2018, losing 12 of the 23 matches but the uncertainty in their game is what makes them dangerous and not the past record. They can be a dull team one day and a dangerous unit the next day. These five matches is their last attempt at fine tuning the team balance before the World Cup and they would be giving their all for sure.<doc-sep>PAKISTAN TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2019 Live Cricket Score: England vs Pakistan, 1st ODI, The Oval by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Live Score Updates Pakistan 80-2 (19 Ovs) Imam-ul-Haq 42 (68) England Adil Rashid 1-0-3-0 No result Live Scores Full Scorecard James Vince will be aiming to make an impact before the World Cup © Getty You can also share your thoughts of if you have any questions via the Twitter handle @fancricket12 Called off Unfortunately, persistent rain seems to have taken its toll on the outfield and the match has been called off. Disappointing, as it was shaping to be a good contest on a track that had a fair amount of bounce. The second ODI will be played in Southampton. And now sunshine Phew! Looks like rain has stopped again and the sun has come out. An interesting day indeed! The super soppers are doing their bit to dry the outfield. The umpires too are out in the middle. Rain, rain... I can't believe this as rain seems to have returned. And that too just when inspection was about to take place. Another inspection So there would be another inspection in 20 minutes time with a restart scheduled at 7.00 PM local. Fingers-crossed there would be no rain. 17:06 Local Time: It has stopped raining. There's an inspection scheduled for 6 pm local | 10:30pm IST. Easy stumping missed; heavens open up again What happened there? Buttler has missed an easy stumping with Sohail getting a reprieve. He tried to whip the bails off with his right glove without the ball in it. The ball was in his left hand. Bizarre. Buttler would be a bit embarrassed about it. And guess what? Rain has returned! Back to cricket The rain has finally relented and we are back. It is going to be a 41-over-a-side contest. Hopefully, no more rain. One bowler can bowl a maximum of nine overs. Four bowlers can bowl a maximum of eight overs. Rain returns And the rain has returned. The covers are back on with fans holding umbrellas. Irritating day. The rain is bucketing down now. Plunkett strikes Unfortunately, against the run of play, Azam nicked one off Plunkett. The former Durham pacer would be pleased. He hasn't looked at his best but this wicket could just lift his spirits. Imam, Azam look to rebuild Imam and Azam somehow waded through Archer's spell. The Sussex pacer made the ball talk - this way and that way. He extracted seam and found bounce at pace. A crackerjack spell from the tall man. However, Pakistan's duo found it easier against Plunkett as runs started to come. The veteran pacer seems to have lost a yard. Archer on fire And Jofra has reaped the reward for his exceptional bowling. Bounce and seam movement with the away angle. Fakhar had to play as he eked out an edge to Root in the slips. The experienced campaigner juggled a bit before grabbing it. Wonderful bowling. Archer on the mark Jofra Archer started with a bang by extracting seam and bounce to beat Imam thrice in a row. Lovely angle too. It is too easy for him. Athletic build, just ambles in and and bowls at over 90mph. Strong shoulders certainly help him. A light drizzle Ah, what a frustrating day!! There seems to be a light drizzle at the moment, but the umpires have decided to start play with a drizzle around. Toss and teams England have won the toss and with batting being their strength, they have opted to field. With a hint of moisture around, it could also seam around a bit. And Jofra Archer gets another chance to make a mark. England (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, James Vince, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Joe Denly, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer Pakistan (Playing XI): Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Asif Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w/c), Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi Rain... hide and seek Rain has stopped once more and there would be an inspection at 1.30 PM. Fingers crossed, we will see some action soon. And we have some good news. Toss - 1:45 PM local time. It would be a 47 overs per innings contest. One has to give credit to SubAir drainage system. Rain around... Unfortunately, there was a bit of rain but it has stopped for the time being. Umpires to inspect at 12.45 local. Scratch that as it is raining again. one of those frustrating days. Build Up: After a blip in the Caribbean where England drew the ODI series 2-2 can one of the favourites for the World Cup get back to winning ways at home versus Pakistan? The home side would be bolstered by the return of the likes of Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler, Woakes and Co. So with some of the regulars back in the set-up, will the pace sensation Jofra Archer get another chance? Can Vince make an impact before the big-ticket event? What about Pakistan? Can their much vaunted pace attack fire? One of the worries for the visiting side is Shadab Khan will be missing from action for the entire series due to virus. Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik has returned home due to personal reasons. So Yasir Shah gets an opportunity to prove his worth. As far as the conditions are concerned, one can expect a flat pitch at The Oval. Toss and teams in a while... © Cricbuzz TAGS RELATED STORIES<doc-sep>
LONDON: Pakistan suffered a 5-0 defeat against Australia, but their past success against England, including in the 2017 Champions Trophy, should put them in good stead to put that behind and tune up for the World Cup. The teams will clash in The Oval on 8th May in their first match of the five ODIs series. The 5-0 rout they suffered at the hands of a rejuvenated Australian side will be heavily weighing on their minds as Pakistan look to handle early season conditions. Making that job harder is the fact that they are up against the No.1-ranked ODI team in the world, at their home. They can, however, take solace from the fact that two years ago, they had eased past England in similar circumstances in the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy. On a related note, the series will offer the last chance for the one of the heroes of that event, Mohammad Amir, to sneak into the World Cup squad. England, on the other hand, are coming off victories over Ireland in a solitary ODI in Dublin, and then against Pakistan in the one-off T20I last week. That, along with their usual level of comfort in these conditions, will leave them high on confidence. Can they now use that to their advantage in the ODIs and tune up for the World Cup, which will be played in the same format? Left-handed batsman Fakhar Zaman is a key player for Pakistan. His performances were a far cry from those of last year, when he scored 875 runs in 17 games. But with two fifties and a century in four games, Zaman's past record in England should hold promising signs for his ability to turn it around before the World Cup. On the other hand, England’s all-rounder Jofra Archer is being tipped as game changer. He was particularly brilliant in the solitary T20I, throttling Pakistan by dismissing two set half-centurions in the 16th over. Squads England: Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Vince, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood Pakistan: Sarfaraz Ahmed (c), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Abid Ali, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Imad Wasim, Yasir Shah, Hasan Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Junaid Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Amir, Asif Ali
