KARACHI:  Pakistan’s team optional training session, scheduled to be held here at the National Stadium on Wednesday, was cancelled.

“Today’s practice session has been cancelled,” Pakistan’s team spokesman said.

England, meanwhile, also did not train on Wednesday. Both nations will face in their second T20 game here at the National Stadium on Thursday (today).

In the first game here on Tuesday England rode on the heroics of Alex Hales (53) and Luke Wood (3-24) to beat Pakistan by six wickets to take 1-0 lead in the seven-match series.
