I never do this, so I thought I'd have a go...
I expect both teams to remain unchanged. However, Pakistan needs to give the youngsters an opportunity, i.e. Hammad Azam. We all know what Afridi, Misbah and Malik can do they just need to allow the likes of Shafiq, Umar and Azam bat at 3, 4 and 5 respectively. We need to know what Hammad Azam is really made of because it seems to me they don’t trust him with bat or ball...

Stats for Afridi14:
* Shahid Afridi is one maiden away from equalling the record number of maidens bowled in a T20 career. (5)
* Pakistan's two favourite sons, Misbah Ul-Haq and Shoaib Malik boast an impressive, 58.85 average in 10 T20 matches whilst batting together. The best for any Pakistani combination.
* Despite being the highest wicket taker in T20's, Shahid Afridi has conceded the most runs in a T20 career, so far. The next best or worst only has to concede 210 runs in his next match to equal Afridi's record!

Afridi, are they people actually saying this`? Who?
Good luck in the decider mate. It's been a great tour over there hasn't it`?

Not great Maksi but certanly a solid player a little in the Bresnan mold. Maybe you've not seen enough of him. Second in the Notts county batting averages, 2 centuries and 5 half centuries last year. But he is a little fragile and needs a cuddle now and then to show he's needed. But don't we all.

We certainly do hopefor, and I am getting my hug now, although I feel the ladies fingers could be a little less tight around my throat as she mutters something about me and that ruddy computer
You definitely know far more than me about Patel and from what you are saying, then I can see why he is playing in this series. Not seen much yet though

Had a important family event and the boss demanded that no phones were used hence why I have not commented but I did see the game and have to say what a shocking performance from Pakistan. This Zia joke that some of our fans wetted over was the biggest joke i have seen in a green shirt. I have never seen such poor technique. Our top order once again bottle a chase and the only bright spark was the Azam innings but he ended it with a poor shot.
Well played England and a great performance from the yorshireman followed by the bowlers. This series would have been in the bag now had Broad now fielded first in the first T20.
