- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 gottim, plucked above his head at cover! Maybe that was Curran's plan all along, just feed the drive... Fakhar was trying to hit that into the pavilion but mistimed the shot, still could have picked up four had Morgan not timed the jump right; had to go one-handed in the end but took it supremely well! 16/115.5 two wickets in the over! And though this won't count as Archer's wicket, he's made it happen. Chasing down the leg-side flick in his followthrough, gathering well, with two stumps to aim at, and pinging down Babar's timbers as he strove to make his ground! 135/44.5 dug in, Imam pulls but can only connect with the glove - and Archer strikes on debut! (Not for the first time this week.) Sharp bouncer, 88mph this time but it was enough to surprise Imam, and Archer is off and running, England trailing gooey-eyed in his wake! 31/215.3 hauled out to deep midwicket, but that's the slower ball, banged into the pitch, and Haris hasn't got hold of it! Willey steadies himself on the edge of the rope, and that's another vital scalp from Archer! 134/316.4 spanked back to the bowler, dropped, one-handed in a reflexive leap! Nearly caught on the rebound too, but instead gathered with the non-striker ambling out of his crease, and under-armed into the stumps! 139/519.4 clears the front foot, smashed high and hard, but straight to Denly at deep cover! Easy as pie, and Pakistan's momentum is stymied again 165/6Extras6 (lb 3, w 3)TOTAL173/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Fakhar Zaman, 1.6 ov), 2-31 (Imam-ul-Haq, 4.5 ov), 3-134 (Haris Sohail, 15.3 ov), 4-135 (Babar Azam, 15.5 ov), 5-139 (Asif Ali, 16.4 ov), 6-165 (Faheem Ashraf, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 drifting leg side again, Vince overbalances playing across the line, half a chance of a stumping... But Pakistan think there was an edge and Wharf's finger goes up! Vince, though, looks bemused and calls for a review. What does Ultra Edge say? There's something on the graph, a thin spike as ball passed bat - and that's enough for Tim Robinson! Vince looks forlorn as he walks off, maybe thinking he hit the ground, but again he fails to convert a good start 66/22.3 pitched up, 86mph outside off, Duckett creams it in the air - bagged at mid-off! Sheehan pulls out the Star Man pose, living up to his namesake Shahid! Struck it pretty well, maybe off the toe, but Duckett won't trouble the scorers any longer on T20I debut 21/115.3 scooped straight to Sarfraz! Looking to get the elevation over the keeper's head, but was suckered by the cutter, and feathered a thin edge to the keeper. A decent knock, but a timely breakthrough! 131/3Extras6 (lb 2, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL175/3 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Ben Duckett, 2.3 ov), 2-66 (James Vince, 8.6 ov), 3-131 (Joe Root, 15.3 ov)
