Pakistan win toss, put Ireland into bat

DUBLIN: Pakistan won the toss in the second one-day international against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday and elected to field.

The tourists made three changes to team which tied the first ODI on Thursday.

The surprising news was that out go Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Irfan with Ehsan Adil the other change.

In come Abdur Rehman, Wahab Riaz and Asad Ali. So all the batsmen survive but there are three changes to the bowling line-up which conceded 275 in 47 overs in the first game.

Ireland made just one change with James Shannon making his ODI debut in place of his Instonians club mate Andrew White
