There have been 44 previous One-Day Internationals at Trent Bridge since England and Pakistan played out the first contest 45 years ago.

On 31st August 1974 England played Pakistan in a match that was reduced to 50-overs per side after morning rain had reduced it from the original 55 overs.

England made 244-4, with David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd having the honour of scoring the first ODI century on the ground.

The left-handed opener carried his bat throughout the innings to end on 116 not out.

Pakistan gave ODI debuts to Imran Khan and Zaheer Abbas but it was another of their celebrated batsmen, Majid Khan, who replied with a ton of his own as the tourists eased to a 7-wicket victory.

Trent Bridge Hundreds

Apart from Lloyd, the other English batsmen to score one ODI century at Trent Bridge have been Keith Fletcher, Robin Smith, Alec Stewart, Nick Knight, Andrew Strauss, Paul Collingwood, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan.

Two players, Allan Lamb and Alex Hales have each scored two hundreds in Trent Bridge ODIs.

Lamb’s scores were 118 v Pakistan in 1982 and 100 not out against the Aussies seven years later.

Hales made 171 three years ago against Pakistan and followed it up with 147 against Australia last year.

There have only been six visiting centurions: Majid and Zaheer for Pakistan, and three Australians – including Trevor Chappell, who did it in a 1983 World Cup match against India, plus Ricky Ponting and Tim Paine, who both reached three figures here against England in 2009.

Last summer Rohit Sharma scored an unbeaten 137 in India’s eight-wicket win over England.

Bowling Achievements

Paul Collingwood is one of four bowlers, alongside Pakistan’s Waqar Younis, India’s Kuldeep Yadav and Ken MacLeay of Australia, to claim six-wicket hauls in Trent Bridge One Day Internationals – with Stuart Broad joining the great Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev as the only others to get five-fers.

Broad’s achievement came against South Africa in 2008 as he collected the man of the match honours with figures of 5-23 in England’s 10-wicket success.

Notable Results

The venue has played host to two tied matches: in 1989 when England and Australia fought out a tied contest in a 55-over game – 226 runs apiece – and three years ago when both England and Sri Lanka each scored 286.

Perhaps the biggest shock came during a 1983 World Cup match when Zimbabwe beat Australia by 13 runs.

England v Pakistan

There have been 85 previous meetings, with England having won 51 and lost 31. Three other matches have been lost to the weather.

45 of those meetings have been in England, where the hosts have been successful on 28 occasions and Pakistan have emerged victorious 15 times, with two No Results.

This will be the eighth clash in Nottingham, with England leading by four wins to three.

Pakistan at Trent Bridge

Apart from the above matches against England, Pakistan have been involved in five other matches in Nottingham, beating Sri Lanka in 1975, triumphing over Australia in 1979 and 2001, beating New Zealand in 1983 and losing to South Africa in 1999.
