Match FactsWednesday, August 24, Ageas Bowl Start time 2.00pm (1300GMT)The Big PictureIt has been an historic time for Pakistan. Crowned the No. 1 Test team in the last 24 hours, following their series-levelling victory at The Oval and rain in Trinidad, a magnificent achievement for Misbah-ul-Haqs side which has overcome so many hurdles to be top of the tree. In Test cricket, they have rarely had it so good.The side that is now in England, however, is not Misbahs. Its Azhar Alis. And Pakistans one-day cricket is in very different shape to their Test unit. They are languishing at ninth in the table and are at risk of missing automatic qualification for the 2019 World Cup unless they up their game over the next 12 months. A thrashing of Ireland will have provided a confidence boost, but little can be read into it.England, on the other hand, are buoyant. Against Sri Lanka earlier this season, they fought back from the brink to secure a tie at Trent Bridge - a result that captain Eoin Morgan gives a lot of significance to - before hurtling to three convincing victories to take the series. The way they chased down 255 without loss at Edgbaston and 308 in 40 overs at The Oval highlighted the form of the batting order.Ben Stokes returns following his calf injury and is likely to slot in at No. 5. That could mean Jonny Bairstow, who has enjoyed the season of his life, making way. Such are Englands riches at the moment, and thats before you look at the players trying to get into the squad.Pakistans one-day batting order has a far more youthful appearance without Misbah and Younis Khan. Azhar needs to define his role at the top of the order if he is not to come under increasing pressure over the next few months. Their bowling attack looks handy, however, with the swing of Mohammad Amir, the yorkers of Umar Gul and the legspin of Yasir Shah. Can Azhar find his inner Misbah and keep the feelgood factor going?Form guide(completed matches, most recent first) England WWWTL Pakistan WLLLLIn the spotlightHes back on the horse, thats for sure. Mark Wood bowled the speed of light on T20 Finals Day, working over Joe Root - Englands best batsman - with as exhilarating an over as you could wish to see. He made me look as if I had my hands and feet on backwards, Root said. Wood has not played for England since last October in Dubai and has undergone two ankle operations to overcome the problem that left him requiring regular painkilling injections. Now he is slamming his front foot down with confidence, and the ball is responding with vicious results. David Willeys hand injury creates an opening for Woods return in the opening match of the series. Strap in and watch.With the prospect of the pace in Englands attack - never mind Woods potential comeback, Liam Plunkett was touching 90mph against Sri Lanka - it means that Sharjeel Khan should be tested in ways he wasnt against Ireland. He feasted on the medium pace and gentle spin offered up in Malahide to crack 152 off 86 balls and put himself amongst Shahid Afridi in Pakistans fastest hundreds. Much hope is placed on Sharjeels shoulders to try and reinvigorate the top order, but England will be eager to test out his back-foot technique - and his ticker.Team newsAlthough Willeys hand injury is not as bad as first feared he will miss at least the first match of the series. Wood is the obvious replacement, although Chris Jordan will come into the equation. If selected, Stokes will play as a batsman only for the first two games but Morgan suggested a third spinner - an ODI for Liam Dawson on his home ground - will also be considered. Both Morgan and Jos Buttler are fit again after recent finger and thumb injuries.England (probable) 1 Alex Hales, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Mark WoodYasir and Wahab Riaz were rested against Ireland and it would be a surprise if both did not return for this match. Wahab could replace Hasan Ali and one of Mohammad Nawaz, who hit a fifty on debut, or Imad Wasim, who bagged 5 for 14, could make way for Yasir. That would mean a longer tail, but four specialist bowlers. Mohammad Hafeez still cant bowl, but there are more options with the ball in this squad than the Test side with Shoaib Malik, Nawaz and Wasim.Pakistan (possible) 1 Sharjeel Khan, 2 Azhar Ali (capt), 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Babar Azam, 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 7 Mohammad Nawaz/Imad Wasim, 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Yasir Shah, 11 Mohammad AmirPitch and conditionsLate summer is promising to put in a show over the next few days, meaning warm and dry conditions. Morgan said last week he expects good batting wickets for this series. Southampton has the highest run-rate of any of Englands regular ODI venues.Stats and triviaDating back to the 2006 series between these teams, England have won 12 of the last 18 matches and eight of the last nine. England have not lost an ODI series against Pakistan since 2005.Morgan has gone 23 international innings (ODI and T20) without a half-century, although made an unbeaten 47 in the T20 against Sri LankaHis opposite number, Azhar, has gone 12 ODI innings without a fifty having begun his captaincy with two hundreds in his first five matches.Buttler needs 22 runs for 2000 in ODIs - he also has the highest strike-rate of the year (126.51) of any batsman with more than 200 runsQuotesIt will be a very tough series against Pakistan, especially as the recent weather means conditions may suit them more than they suit us initially. It is a good test leading into the winter. Eoin MorganWe have very good potential in one-day cricket also, weve certainly got belief. Its really important going into any series, you need to have belief and trust in the ability of the players. If we bring our A game we definitely will compete and inshallah beat England Azhar Ali Cheap Nike Vapormax Sale . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.

LONDON -- Serena Williams is leaving Wimbledon with two trophies, teaming with her older sister Venus to win a womens doubles final that began a little more than 3 hours after the singles final ended Saturday.The American siblings won their sixth doubles championship at the All England Club and 14th as a pair at all Grand Slam tournaments by beating fifth-seeded Timea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-3, 6-4.Earlier Saturday, also on Centre Court, Serena collected her 22nd Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set victory over Angelique Kerber in that final.I had just enough time to change and get my ankles re-taped, Serena said about going from one match to the other. But there was so much adrenaline. I didnt want to cool down too much.Venus sat in the guest box during the singles final.Watching Serena earlier was so amazing, and I was so into that. And then you have to re-set yourself and say, `OK, weve got to play a match and were going to have to try to win, Venus said during a joint interview with the BBC after the doubles. So she brought the energy from Game 1 and that really brought me up, too.The Williams sisters also won doubles titles at Wimbledon in 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2012. Each time, one or the other also won the singles championship, with Serena doing it in 2002, 2009 and 2012 in addition to this year.Theyre now 14-0 in major doubles finals. But they were unseeded this time because they play doubles so infrequently, and their most recent Grand Slam title before Saturday had come four years ago at the All England Club. Until playing at the French Open in May, they hadnt even entered a doubles draw at any major tournament since 2014.Theyre planning to compete in doubles, in addition to singles, at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics next month. They already have won three gold medals in doubles, at the 2000, 2008 and 2012 Summer Games.When they were asked during the BBC interview which one is in charge of their doubles team, Serena immediately pointed toward Venus and said with a laugh, Shes definiteely the boss.ddddddddddddnd Venus said: Well, Im the older sister, so it kind of falls on me. But (there are) different times on the court that we both take over. So whatever the team needs, it kind of happens organically. Thats the best kind of team.Shvedova, who lost to Venus in the singles quarterfinals this week, was trying to win her third Grand Slam doubles title, after teaming with Vania King for trophies at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2010. Babos has never won a major doubles trophy; she was the runner-up with Kristina Mladenovic at Wimbledon in 2014.In mens doubles, Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert defeated Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-3 to win their first Wimbledon title. It was the first all-French Grand Slam mens doubles final of the Open era.The victory gives Mahut a happier memory from the grass-court tournament where he lost the longest match in tennis history, 70-68 in the fifth set against John Isner in the first round of singles in 2010.We talk a lot about this match already. Im very proud of it, Mahut said, referring to the contest that lasted more than 11 hours, spread over three days. But now its something different. Now I can come in the press conference as a Wimbledon champion. Its great.This is the second major title together for the top-seeded team of Mahut and Herbert, who won the U.S. Open last year.Theyre only the second pair of Frenchmen to earn the doubles trophy at the All England Club in the Open era, which began in 1968. Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra won Wimbledon in 2007.Benneteau and Roger-Vasselin won the 2014 French Open doubles championship.Mahut knows Benneteau and Roger-Vasselin rather well, having won ATP doubles titles with each of them in the past. Mahut and Benneteau even had success together as teens, collecting seven junior doubles titles in 1999.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
