England vs Pakistan Live ODI WC 2023 cricket score: Bairstow perishes, Root-Stokes key for England

Live Cricket Score Between Pakistan vs England ODI World Cup 2023: England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and has chosen to bowl first against Pakistan for Match 44 of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Saturday.

Babar Azam at Toss: We wanted to bat first, but the toss is out of our control. We have good bowlers and we would like to bowl them cheaply. We have one change: Hasan Ali does not play and Shadab Khan comes in his place. We are looking forward to Fakhar’s batting. We will do our best.

Jos Buttler at Toss: We’re going to hit first. Looks good, looks a bit dry and we want to use it for the first time. Today we go with the same team. It’s always good to break a losing streak. We would try to do justice to ourselves. (About David Willey) Emotional day for him, he was great for us. So we talked about enjoying it and taking it all in.
