Pakistan win toss, choose to bat against England

LEEDS: Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to bat against England in the second one-day international at Headingley here on Sunday.

Both teams were unchanged from the first of this five-match series, which England won by 24 runs at the Riverside on Friday.

Pakistan's decision to stick with the same side meant there was still no place for all-rounder Abdul Razzaq who has been struggling with shoulder and back injuries.

Once again fast bowler Wahab Riaz, who will be interviewed by police next week in the course of their spot-fixing inquiries, was omitted.

Teams: England: Andrew Strauss (capt), Steve Davies (wkt), Jonathan Trott, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Michael Yardy, Graeme Swann, Stuart Broad, James Anderson; Pakistan: Kamran Akmal (wkt), Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Yousuf, Fawad Alam, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi (capt), Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Irfan
