After securing their first ever Test series win at home against Pakistan in over a decade (2010), England will lock horns against the sub continent team in a 3-match T20 series which gets underway with the first T20I to be played at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester later on Friday evening.

The series opener at Manchester is expected to get underway at 10:30 (IST). As per the weather report, a slight delay in the toss of the ENG vs PAK 1st T20 is expected due to rain.

While Eoin Morgan led England will look to extend their winning run from the Tests into the T20 series, Pakistan would love to extract some revenge and beat the hosts in the shorter format.

With the series opener being played at the Old Trafford Cricket ground later in the evening, the second and third games of the series will also be played at the same venue on August 30th and September 1 respectively.
