Pakistan were forced to leave out experienced batsman Younis Khan because of high fever as they won the toss and decided to bat in the third day-night international at Dubai Stadium here on Saturday.

Down 2-0 after defeats of 130 and 20 runs in the first two of four matches, Pakistan had to bring in batsman Asad Shafiq and wicket-keeper Adnan Akmal for Younis and Abdul Rehman.

England remained unchanged from their first two matches.
