England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to field in the third Twenty20 international against Pakistan at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

England, the 50-over world champions, were unchanged from the side that won by five wickets in Manchester on Sunday to go 1-0 up in a three-match series following Friday's no result washout.

Pakistan, looking to end their tour with a win after a 1-0 loss in a three-Test series last month, made three changes, with 19-year-old batsman Haider Ali given his international debut, in place of Iftikhar Ahmed.

Meanwhile former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed took over from impressive wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and Wahab Riaz replaced Mohammad Amir after his fellow left-arm paceman suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's match.
