12.30pm We're eight-and-a-half hours away from the toss in Sharjah, but here's a bit of news that's just dropped.

Pakistan have announced their XI for the game, and it contains one change from the line-up that lost the first T20I on Friday. Faheem Ashraf, who scored 2 and didn't bowl in the series-opener, makes way for Mohammad Nawaz. Spin-bowling allrounder replaces seam-bowling allrounder, and we have a situation where Pakistan have both Imad Wasim and Mohammad Nawaz in their XI, as well as their captain Shadab Khan. That's three spin-bowling allrounders in all. An interesting decision, and we'll see in a few hours' time how it all pans out.
