As they continue their build-up for the upcoming T20 World Cup tournament, England and Pakistan are set to go head-to-head at Edgbaston in the second game of their four-match series.
After the first meeting of the series at Headingley on Wednesday was washed out, both teams will be hoping for some Birmingham sunshine to step up their preparations.
The second T20 international between England and Pakistan will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket.
England will face Pakistan at 14:30 BST on Saturday 25th May with the match taking place at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

Their last meeting came in Karachi in September 2022, when England won by six wickets, with Luke Wood named man of the match after taking 3-24 in his four overs.
