The final T20I of the England vs Pakistan series will be held today at the Kennington Oval in London. It has been a frustrating tour for Pakistan so far as two of the the first three T20Is were abandoned due to rain.
Today's match is scheduled to begin at 11 pm IST (6:30 pm local time). Big names like Phil Salt, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Shaheen Afridi are expected to be in action.
It is England and Pakistan's last T20I before the T20 World Cup. Here's a look at London's pitch history.
