England beat Pakistan by 24 runs in the first match. Instead of scoring 295 runs Pakistan had to bow their head to the host. So, it’s a big challenge for visitors. Without win could not have a change to back to the series. If Pakistan beat to England then the series will be lifeless.

"It's a game we need to win to wrap up the series," said England's senior spinner, Graeme Swann. "It's been a long summer, and it would be nice if we could go out having won every series we've played. With the Aussies and Pakistanis, it certainly wasn't a summer you look at and say 'Definitely we'll win them all', but it was the aim at the start of it, and I think we've got ourselves in a very good position to do it."

The wining statistic of Pakistan has disappointed everyone because it just gets a single win in last five ODI matches. On the other hand England just host lost one among the five matches.
