A whitewash at Rawalpindi keeps the group open. Afghanistan could come in with some more belief having beaten England in the World Cup and they will also know that spinning conditions are likely to keep them interested.

Afghanistan vs England Key Players

Mark Wood

Mark Wood has been backed for his raw pace but the economy has been an issue. He has not been at his best, hitting the speed guns well and is a touch unlucky as well with a lot of runs going behind the wicket. 

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan has been a touch inactive and the mystery seems to be lying low. His bowling was picked pretty easily by South Africa. He has a good record against England though and will have to make use of a Lahore Track which has helped spin. 

AFG vs ENG Match Tips

England's recent white-ball form has been alarming. Afghanistan do have a better record as well on slower tracks but the weight of the moment could bring them down giving England a shot of fighting back.
