Trent Bridge will play host to the first match of the England vs Pakistan T20I series tonight. The two teams recently played a three match ODI series, where the English side won all the matches.
Pakistan will be keen to open their account on this tour by winning the Nottingham T20I. The Men in Green have fond memories of playing T20I cricket at Trent Bridge. Back in 2009, Pakistan defeated South Africa in the first semifinal of the T20 World Cup on this ground and booked their spot in the summit clash.
