Time running out for Pakistan to make changes and fix issues - But have we seen enough in this side to feel that they can win the remaining 2 games and draw the series?

It will be England and it will be another humiliating experience for our bowlers. Trent Bridge is a 500 run track if England bat first
The last two times England has played on this ground, they have made 400+ yes?
Thanks.No. The last time they played here they scored 268 vs india which India chased down comfortably. They did however make 444 vs pak and 480+ vs aus on this ground.
Pakistan will do well if the batting does well - bowlers are rubbish at the moment.
Most likely, this one is going to be most one sided game - oblate Sarfraz's PAK has been missing in crunch games too many times.
If he wins the toss, PAK should bowl first - that's the best chance to compete here.
One of Imam Babar Haris or possibly Sarfraz to score a match losing hundred and be praised as the second coming the best ever batsman etc.
What are the batsmen supposed to do when your bowling is minnow level??
Even if pak had scored 400, Eng would have chased it down.
Pakistan is now playing at a level Bangladesh used to play during its initial years.
Pakistan to win the match will look something like this
England: 499/5 (50)
Jos Buttler: 188 (47)
Jason Roy: 166 (101)
Jonny Bairstow: 56 (33)
Pakistan: 500/3 (49.3) - Win by 7 wickets with 3 balls remaining!
Fakhar Zaman: 200 (119)
Babar Azam: 119 (84)
Asif Ali: 88* (27)
Bowling is hopeless right now, we need to hope that all our top 3 in Babar, Fakhar, and Imam click so far only one has clicked and we've still managed 360. Asif Ali also needs to convert those 50's into at least 75+ scores at 200+ SR. If we can get Fakhar, Asif, Imam, and Asif and maybe Hafeez if he is playing to perform then there is no reason why we cannot match England with the bat. England's bowling is pretyy badd they've just got lucky that our bowling has been worse and more than 1 batsman has performed for them. For us with only really one batsman carrying the ship (Fakhar in 2nd Odi, and Imam in 3rd) we've gotten 360 now just imagine at Trent Bridge what we can do if the whole top 3 fires!
Yes I vividly remember that match during Bangladesh's first tour to England, where Bangaldesh came within a hair of chasing down 375 and then the very next match scored 360 again.![]()
Actually Bangladesh defeated the invincible Australian side in England.

Bangladesh was not scoring 360 in their initial years. You are exaggerating here by a country mile.
Little did you know, aus beat ban by 10 wickets in the next match against them and eng also beat ban by 10 wickets.
Should I pull up scores of the rest of that tri series, or are you familiar with what cam afterwards?

Yes. And they had no Brighto Paint logo in their kit either. So obviously i'm exaggerating.
What's paint got to do with it!!? You can't compare Bang then to Pak now. Bangladesh have never scored 360 in any one day innings.
Bangladesh would've probably chased down the total in the first game.
It would've been the 2nd biggest chase in ODI history.

Pakistan bat first and hit 350+ and restrict England - only hope!
