Pakistan VS England
On the batsman-accommodating pitch, Eoin Morgan picked to bowl first as the red hot Mark Wood was brought into the assault instead of Liam Plunkett having seen Sarfaraz Ahmed's side bobbed out for only 105 against the West Indies at a similar scene - however not a similar surface - on Friday.
In any case, opening pair Imam-ul-Haq (44) and Fakhar Zaman (36) arranged the opening period of short balls and testing conditions well, sharing a 82-run first-wicket organization.
The presentation of Moeen Ali broke the remain in the fifteenth over as a fine bit of the work behind the stumps from Jos Buttler saw Fakhar puzzled for 36, with the batsman simply out of his wrinkle as England's wicketkeeper whipped off the safeguards.
Precisely six overs later, Imam was gone to the structure after Woakes ran 20-yards before finishing a splendid jumping catch to hand Moeen his second scalp of the innings.
Under bright skies in Nottingham, Pakistan were permitted to reconstruct without any difficulty as some messy handling - including Jason Roy putting down a straightforward catch at mid-off to give Mohammad Hafeez a second life - permitted the guests' third-wicket pair of Hafeez and Babar Azam to put on 88.
Moeen in the long run had Babar gotten by Woakes at long-on for a fine 63 yet it neglected to subside Pakistan's force as they found the limit ropes easily - commander Sarfaraz and Hafeez sharing a 80-run organization off only 10 overs.
Hafeez in the end selected Woakes at long-off having made a fine 84 off only 62 balls however Sarfaraz achieved his 50 years off 40 balls after Joe Root's bashful at the stumps fled for four signals.
A clamorous end to the innings saw Pakistan lose 4-37, with Woakes completing with figures of 3-71, yet the guests completed on 348-8 to leave England expecting to finish the most elevated run pursue in World Cup history on the off chance that they are to get a second win of the competition.
