England have named an unchanged side as they try to level the Twenty20 series in the closing stages of the team's lengthy stay in the UAE. The inexperienced middle order couldn't combat the outstanding skills of Umar Gul during the final five overs two days ago but Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler are part of England's future and need time to learn.

However, Stuart Broad did opt for different tactics when he won the toss as he decided to bat first on the same pitch that was used on Thursday. The expectation is that scoring will get harder as the game goes on even though there will be a maximum of 40 overs.

Pakistan have made one change with Junaid Khan, who bowled a good final over in the opening game to ensure Gul's masterclass wasn't wasted, omitted in favour of right-arm seamer Aizaz Cheema.
