Azhar Ali looking forward to level the series

England were unchanged for the third game in succession. “I am very confident that if we play up to our potential, definitely we can win this match”, he added.

Ali, who took over as captain after Misbah-ul-Haq retired following the 2015 World Cup in March, said he would accept being replaced as captain.

“I don’t have control on future”.

REECE Topley will be trying to help England clinch their ODI series against Pakistan in Dubai tomorrow.

The skipper said that all the team members have realization the importance of the next game. “I will do the job honestly and no one in the team too has that fear and will accept whatever the outcome will be out of the match”.

“All of us were hurt”, he said. Opener Ahmed Shehzad is yet to feature in this ODI series and Pakistan should look to bring him back in the playing XI in place of Iftikhar Ahmed who has been unimpressive to say the least.

“We will assess his progress and hopefully he is ready”. However, Pakistan has played 14 ODIs in Dubai since 2010 and has a 6-8 win-loss record.

England predictably stuck with the same team which won in Sharjah three days ago.

Morgan was particularly impressed by the manner in which they chased down a tricky target on a turning pitch as James Taylor (67*) and Jos Buttler (49*) steered the side to victory with an unbroken stand of 117 for the fifth wicket.

“I was going through tough times and have learnt a lot from that and will use these experiences to improve as a player”.
