Match factsAugust 30, Trent Bridge Start time 1400 (1300GMT)Big pictureThe results of the opening two matches of the series were rarely in doubt. Whenever England were under a modicum of pressure, for example when Sarfraz Ahmed has been at the crease or at 35 for 2 in the chase at Lords, they have had the depth and confidence to overcome Pakistan convincingly.There will have to be a considerable reversal at Trent Bridge if the series is not to be decided after three matches. There is a chasm between the one-day cricket of these two teams far greater than the current rankings of five and nine would suggest. Pakistan can, at least, look at the middle order and see a few chinks of light. Sarfraz has performed superbly, Babar Azam appears to have a lot of time to play his shots and Imad Wasim is a versatile cricketer.For England, they have rarely had it so good in the one-day game. That Jonny Bairstow cant find a starting spot highlights their abundance of options. Eoin Morgan has shown signs of regaining his form, which would remove the only real potential for a distraction, while there are other reserves eagerly waiting for their chance.However, they will want to be ruthless. The fielding has been a weak point in the opening two matches - notwithstanding Liam Plunketts fantastic grab at Lords - and England continue to be poor at hitting the stumps, despite having an urge to throw at them at any opportunity.Form guide(completed matches, most recent first) England WWWWW Pakistan LLWLLIn the spotlightDo England stick or twist with Alex Hales? It has been a difficult couple of weeks for the opener who endured his worst match in an England shirt in the final Test at The Oval and has failed twice at the start of this series. Trevor Bayliss mantra is to give a player one game too many than too few but that, arguably, does not carry as much weight in this scenario because it is well known what Hales can do in one-day cricket. He looks a cricketer with a bit of scrambled mind at the moment.Mickey Arthur has put his entire squad on notice, but made particular reference to those over 30. One of those, Mohammad Hafeez, is now out of the series so the spotlight turns to another in Shoaib Malik. He has twice made starts in this series without kicking on, although his numbers since his post-World Cup recall - 741 runs at 61.75 albeit boosted considerably by six matches against Zimbabwe - may buy him a little more time. His bowling, too, helps balance the side although he only sent down two overs at Lords.Team newsBen Stokes is available to bowl again after his calf injury which gives Morgan another frontline pace option. That suggests both spinners will keep their spots although Morgan is keen on a left-arm seamer so David Willey, who bowled two spells in the nets, will come into the equation. Hales form is a worry, but Englands winning form may work in his favour.England (probable) 1 Alex Hales, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Mark WoodPakistan could juggle their pack again, but its debatable what difference it will make. Mohammad Irfan, the giant left-arm paceman, has replaced Hafeez in the squad.Pakistan (possible) 1 Sami Aslam, 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Azhar Ali (capt), 4 Babar Azam, 5 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Hasan Ali, 10 Yasir Shah, 11 Mohammad AmirPitch and conditionsThe forecast is for a warm, dry day so the decision at the toss will come down to whether the captain wants to chase or defend under lights. Trent Bridge is one of the most favourable grounds in England for swing bowling although recent matches have produced some astonishing batting: earlier this season England fought back for a tie against Sri Lanka and last year they chased down 350 against New Zealand with six overs to spare.Stats and triviaA few England batsmen are approaching milestones: Jason Roy needs 61 runs for 1000, Jos Buttler needs 18 for 2000 and Joe Root 107 for 3000Root has four consecutive ODI half-centuries: the best run for England is five by Geoff Boycott, Graham Gooch, Alec Stewart, Jonathan Trott and Alex Hales.Yasir Shah is struggling to make an impact in one-day cricket: in four matches against England he has taken 2 for 227 at an economy rate of 5.89The two sides have met six times at Trent Bridge with the head-to-head standing at 3-3.QuotesWe need to improve, we feel we need to get a bit better, we all agree on that, and were still trying to take it up a notch. Liam Plunkett says there wont be any slackening off from EnglandObviously were No. 9 in the world. But with the talent weve got, I dont think its a No. 9 team. We have to show that in big matches like tomorrow. I believe we can come back. Imad Wasim sees potential in the Pakistan side Alvin Kamara Saints Jersey .

Wood Brothers Racings Ryan Blaney will have a guaranteed starting spot in NASCARs Cup Series in 2017 as part of a series of deals that includes Richard Petty Motorsports leasing one of its charters to Go FAS Racing.Go FAS Racing, which fielded the No. 32 car for Jeffrey Earnhardt and other drivers last season, will lease its charter (NASCARs version of a franchise) to the Wood Brothers for 2017, said Wood Brothers Racing executive Jon Wood. Blaney qualified for every race last year, finishing 20th in the standings, but now will have no worries about having to qualify in 2017 if more than 40 cars show up at a race.Matt DiBenedetto, who drove for BK Racing last year and finished 35th in the standings, will be the sole driver for Go FAS Racing in 2017 and also will have no worries with a guaranteed spot in every race as Go FAS Racing vice president Mason St. Hilaire confirmed that it has leased the RPM No. 44 charter for 2017.An RPM spokeswoman said the team had no comment Thursday night about its charter situation nor its 2017 plans. It has driver Aric Almirola with primary sponsor Smithfield signed next season for the No. 43 car but has been in limbo with the No. 44 car since the surprising retirement announcement of Brian Scott in November.Why all the leasing of charters? Its part of a complicated NASCAR system designed to encourage performance while also allowing teams to project revenues ffor a season.ddddddddddddt the start of 2016, NASCAR issued 36 charters, giving those 36 cars a guaranteed spot in each race and a guaranteed base amount of revenue for the season. That left four spots available to open cars, whose base amount of participation revenue is less than 35 percent of that of charter teams.Teams can lease out their charter for only one year over a five-year span and then must either run it or sell it. A portion of the revenue distributed to a charter team is based on the performance of that car the past three years; plus any car among the three worst charters for three consecutive years can have its charter pulled by NASCAR.The move for Go FAS Racing means it will have slightly more guaranteed money next season because the RPM No. 44 teams past three-year history is better than that of Go FAS Racings No. 32 team.It also should make the original No. 32 charter more valuable for 2018 in two ways: Wood Brothers Racing should finish higher in the owner standings (it was 21st in the 2016 team standings) and therefore would increase its 2018 guaranteed revenue; and it should eliminate a chance the charter could get revoked following the 2018?season because it most likely wont be among the three worst charter teams for three consecutive years.
