Toss update
Afghanistan skipper Gulabdin Naib won the toss and elected to bat first at Headingley.
Naib: We are gonna bat first, the wicket looks good. It's a sunny day and weather is warm. Pakistan is a good side but we beat them in the warm-up game. We'll try to give our 100% today. We are looking forward to put a good show today.
Sarfaraz Ahmed: We wanted to bat first as well but toss is not in our hands. Our bowlers are doing well, so we'll try to restrict them and chase the target. We are focusing on this match, not focusing on the next game. Wahab is fine, he's playing today, hence we are playing with the same team.
Here is the playing eleven for both the teams
