13:40 Local Time, 12:40 GMT, 18:10 IST: Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the second T20I between England and Pakistan. The opening game at Headingley was abandoned due to rain. First things first, the weather forecast in Birmingham is promising and let's hope we get an uninterrupted game. The T20 World Cup isn't too far away and this is a great opportunity for the finalists of the previous edition to get their combinations right. Both teams have struggled a bit in the shortest format over the last year. England, as always, possess an enviable batting line-up with several match-winners. In the bowling department, everyone will be eager to see how the comeback man - Jofra Archer - fares. Pakistan announced their World Cup squad yesterday and they have gone pace-heavy. While it's usually their pacers who grab the eyeballs, there's a lot of class coupled with firepower in the batting department. Should be an enthralling contest. Stick around for toss and team updates..
