Makeshift England bowling first vs Pakistan in 3rd ODI
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) - England chose to bowl first against Pakistan as it sought a series sweep in the third one-day international at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Both teams were unchanged from the second ODI, won by England by 52 runs last Saturday at Lord's.
England has a makeshift side after its entire first-choice ODI squad had to isolate after a COVID-19 outbreak just over a week ago following the Sri Lanka series.
