2nd T20: England win toss, bat against Pakistan

England captain Stuart Broad won the toss on Saturday and chose to bat first in the second Twenty20 international against Pakistan.
England made no changes to the side that narrowly lost the first Twenty20 game by eight runs. One-day international captain Alastair Cook, who was added to the squad due to a lingering injury for Ravi Bopara, again failed to make the starting lineup.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq made only one change with fast bowler Aizaz Cheema replacing Junaid Khan who failed to take any wickets in the last match.
Lineups:
Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez, Awais Zia, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Umar Gul, Saeed Ajmal, Aizaz Cheema.
England: Craig Kieswetter, Kevin Pietersen, Ravi Bopara, Eoin Morgan, Jonathan Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Samit Patel, Stuart Broad (captain), Graeme Swann, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn.
