England left out rising star Jofra Archer as they made changes for the second one-day international against Pakistan at Southampton on Saturday.
Team officials had always planned that this five-match series would act as a final audition for places in tournament hosts England´s 15-man squad for the World Cup, which starts later this month.
To that end, they made three changes to their side following Wednesday´s rain-affected no-result which saw just 19 overs bowled at The Oval.
Left-arm quick David Willey came in for Archer, fit-again opener Jason Roy returned in place of James Vince -- left out on his Hampshire home ground -- and Moeen Ali was recalled in place of fellow spinner Joe Denly for this day game.
