- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.4 Slower ball, into the pitch, clips the edge of a limboing attempted uppercut, and loops to the keeper! England have a wicket! And Rizwan's enterprising knock is done. Good bowling from Gregory, following the batter into the leg-side, and cramping him for room on the ramp 150/116.2 outside off, and that's surely a nick to the keeper! Umpire Milns is unmoved, but Willey is aghast... swinging away on a very full length, the bat was close to the ground as the ball passed, an open-faced steer to the off-side, but there's a clear spike! England's review does the trick, and Babar is gone! Wonderful innings, but that's a crucial moment for England to strike 175/315.5 slow again, into the pitch, Willey at midwicket swallows the pull! He nailed the shot, towards the short boundary, but the man was set back, staring into the sun, and cupping his hands well for a very important breakthrough 169/219.1 very full again from Saqib, but another slog through the line is toe-ended to mid-on! Looking for the yorker, but in the end it was the pace that did the job, Fakhar not quite through his stroke in time 221/518.6 bowled him! Superb leg-stump yorker, wriggles through an ambitious leg-side whack, half a stride forward to confirm the ball was headed straight through the gate. Relief for Curran and England! 221/419.6 knee-high, straight lines, slapped to mid-on, they have to come back for two, and they don't make it. No matter, that is Pakistan's highest total in T20Is. And that's a super response to their humbling in the ODIs. 232/6Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL232/6 (20 Overs, RR: 11.6)Fall of wickets: 1-150 (Mohammad Rizwan, 14.4 ov), 2-169 (Sohaib Maqsood, 15.5 ov), 3-175 (Babar Azam, 16.2 ov), 4-221 (Mohammad Hafeez, 18.6 ov), 5-221 (Fakhar Zaman, 19.1 ov), 6-232 (Imad Wasim, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 another one that Shaheen dives forward for, and this time he's taken it! Malan's on his way - no need to go upstairs for this one. It stopped in the pitch slightly and hit him high on the bat. Chipped up and he throws himself forward to take a stunner 12/16.4 Shadab gets his man! Jason Roy the danger man has been removed. Roy is absolutely seething at himself. It looked like it was in the slot for Roy, but he gets a thick outside edge it it balloons up to deep point, where the fielder makes no mistake 82/43.3 banged into the pitch and the extra bounce does for Bairstow. He tried to flat-bat that over square leg, but the extra pace - that was over 90mph too - generated the bounce that draws a top edge. Imad takes a fairly straightforward catch 42/24.3 Haris Rauf's taken a catch at cow corner, and what a bizarre catch that was! He leapt into Maqsood's arms as he dived to take the catch and somehow, somehow, it doesn't pop out and neither fielder is injured!. Moeen whipped it over cow corner but got more height than distance, and that promotion up the order hasn't worked 48/316.3 century and out! Livingstone sets himself for the slap down the ground again, but this time he can't connect! Spiralling into the night sky, dropping into the fielder's hands, right on the rope at long-on. A masterful knock is done.. but is their chase done too? 183/711.4 Morgan takes on the long boundary again and loses! A swipe off the pads, right on the toe as he reaches in the final ask on the slog-sweep, and though that travelled, Rauf at deep square didn't have to move! Massive moment. A long way to go yet for England 133/516.1 plucked on the rope at long-on! That was Gregory's shot, in his arc on the full length, and though that was headed for a six, he just missed nailing it as he could. Well gathered with a strong base inside the boundary, and that shifts the needle a touch 177/618.4 smashed high to wide long-on, but superbly taken inside the rope! That was in Willey's slot, he did his best to find the elevation on the swing across the line, but Shadab has been outstanding in the deep tonight. Reverses his hands and guzzles the offering! 201/917.3 high full toss, miscued out to cover, they sprint the single and there's a review for the run-out... and with good reason! Curran is well short as the direct hit comes in, and England's chase gets another dent 191/819.2 leg-stump yorker, the zing bails are zinged! Parkinson isn't equipped to resist that, too full and fast for the tailender, but what a magnificent match! 201/10Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL201 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 10.39)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Dawid Malan, 1.3 ov), 2-42 (Jonny Bairstow, 3.3 ov), 3-48 (Moeen Ali, 4.3 ov), 4-82 (Jason Roy, 6.4 ov), 5-133 (Eoin Morgan, 11.4 ov), 6-177 (Lewis Gregory, 16.1 ov), 7-183 (Liam Livingstone, 16.3 ov), 8-191 (Tom Curran, 17.3 ov), 9-201 (David Willey, 18.4 ov), 10-201 (Matt Parkinson, 19.2 ov)
