EmailCricket: The England and Wales Cricket Board are confident crowds will pick up for the remainder of the international summer despite poor attendance so far.
England's victory over Pakistan in Tuesday night's second Twenty20 international was played in front of a sparse crowd of just 5,821 in Cardiff.
It was England's lowest attendance for a T20 international on home soil, two days after the first match of the series at the same venue failed to sell out.
But an ECB spokesman insisted: "The sales for the next few matches at Durham and Headingley are strong. They are expecting close to capacity."
