6.05pm: That's your lot for today. George is rattling in his report and we'll be back for more with the third T20I on Tuesday. Thanks for your contributions, as ever. Cricket is back on free-to-air TV, and England are tonking it like never before. From myself, Matt and Raghav, cheerio and take care, we'll see you again soon. Bye!

5.55pm: Let's head over to the presentations, starting with Babar Azam: "The total was good but we didn't go well in the bowling, credit to Malan and Morgan the way they played. We'll learn a lot, talking to the bowlers under pressure and I will try to learn from this. [Amir injury?] Yes, when one of the main bowlers got injured, we struggled."

England captain Eoin Morgan is also named Man of the Match: [Best form of career?] "Yeah, I think I am, stats the last couple of years have been the most productive of my career, which is great. Hopefully I'll contribute to more wins. Both sides found it tough bowling, batting sides played well so a good all-round game. Both sides haven't played, might be rusty, didn't get yorkers or execute skills as well as they'd have liked. Naturally get better as the series goes on and against Australia. [Bowling in Powerplay] Babar played really well, we struggled to take wickets early. If you take wickets early you give yourself the best chance of holding that monentum. [Malan?] Really pleased, he's had an unbelievable start to his T20I carer, long may it continue, great to see him contribute. Not close at all, if we did nominate our best XI we'd be blindsiding ourselves a bit, need to account for injuries and a loss of form, need to pick from 16-17 players and that's how we approach it."

5.50pm: Sealed the deal with five balls to spare, that's a pretty comfortable chase of 190-plus from England. It's also the highest successful chase in T20Is against Pakistan, and it's put Eoin Morgan's team 1-0 up with one to play in this series - how's that for a gateway drug for all those currently tuned into BBC1? Two of England's three highest successful chases have been in their last two completed games, by the way. Morgan continues to breeze along on a late-career zephyr, going at 200 for his 66, while Dawid Malan made sure he finished the job after a comparatively slow start

Haris Rauf to Billings, OUT, picks out backward point! Billings won't be finishing it, he's picked out the man for a simple catch - off the toe of the bat, but not much of a celebration from Rauf. Pakistan need something miraculous from here

Shadab Khan to Ali, OUT, half-tracker, plinked to midwicket! Another one goes, Shadab picks up his third wicket... Just a woeful mishit from Moeen, rocking back and skewing it tamely to the man inside the ring. Alarm bells ringing for England yet??

Haris Rauf to Morgan, OUT, picks out deep backward square! Is that the wicket that sparks Pakistan? Swings for the hills but doesn't quite get hold of this one... Straight down the gullet of the man in the deep. Morgan hasn't quite finished the job, but it's been a sparkling knock
