In the opening ODI match of the three-day series in Cardiff, the hosts won the toss and chose to bowl against Pakistan.

Five players made their England debuts. Test batsman Zak Crawley was named alongside Sussex all-rounder Lewis Gregory, Durham fast bowler Brydon Carse, and Middlesex wicketkeeper John Simpson.

Middle-order batsman Saud Shakeel made his debut for Pakistan.

Following the COVID outbreak in the originally named team, the match between the Babar Azam-led Green Shirts and a weaker England squad began at 5pm [Pakistan Standard Time] at Sophia Gardens.
