England v Pakistan third ODI set to have 19,000 fans

The third one-day international between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston next month will be allowed to have 19,000 spectators, organisers said.

The day-night contest, scheduled for July 13, has been permitted to host an 80% capacity crowd without social distancing requirements after it was confirmed as one of the government's pilot events to allow bigger crowds. Earlier this month, Edgbaston held a pilot event at 70% capacity for England's second test against New Zealand, accommodating around 60,000 spectators across four days.
