The Verdict

 

I'll look to the top Pakistan bat market first of all and although you take Babar Azam on at your peril Rizwan has serious form in T20's and his price is far more attractive.

 

Speaking of eye catching prices 6/1 for Liam Livingstone to be top England bat stands out given his exploits in the series so far.

 

Matthew Parkinson returned figures of 1/25 in his 4 overs on Sunday, by far the most economical England bowler and the leg spinner could be worth an interest in the top England bowler market.

 

Bets: Top Pakistan Bat Rizwan at 5/2

Top England Bat Liam Livingstone at 6/1

Top England Bowler Matthew Parkinson at 11/4
