England and Pakistan back on the field

England and Pakistan finally get back on the field at Bristol on Monday and even though it's a Twenty20 match, there is still plenty to play for.

This may only be seen as a tune-up for the one-day series, which begins on Thursday but England will be looking to make a massive improvement on their recent limited overs efforts, while Pakistan will be smarting in general.

Stuart Broad and Michael Yardy are new boys in the squad while veteran Darren Gough will be going flat out as he tries to prove that he is worth a place in the squad for next year's World Cup.

Pakistan welcome back Shoaib Akhtar from injury while they have a host of all-round performers who will make life difficult for Andrew Strauss's England side.

Pakistan are favourites at 8/11 (1.72) while England are an even money chance (2.00).
