- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 stumped by a mile, the googly bamboozles Babar! Easy does it, Rashid tosses the ball up and tempts Pakistan's captain into stepping out, he was looking to butter his parsnips with a hit down the ground... ended up playing all around it and was never getting back. Big breakthrough for England 42/18.1 tossed up and Maqsood goes after it... picks out long-on! Tempted the big shot but Maqsood couldn't get the elevation, instead it went hard and flat, enabling Roy to clutch it to his chest a few yards in from the rope 67/28.4 leg-side drag-down, but Hafeez falls for it! A complete gimme, or so it seemed, but Hafeez couldn't only send it straight to Bairstow at deep square leg! Sheepish grin from the bowler, that really should have gone out of the park. But instead he gets his and England's third 69/315.2 on the back foot, and Moeen is excited by this one! England review as Fakhar is late on his flick across the line, pinned in front of the stumps, but might be too high ... no bat involved, so all on ball tracker... nailing the top of middle! Excellent review, and a timely wicket. 114/416.6 final ball four-for! An ambitious hoick, with the ball turning away from the short boundary, toe-ended with great ambition but no finesse, into the leg side for Livingstone to cling on. Those are Rashid's T20I best figures 125/517.3 hacked on the up, over backward point as Bairstow tumbles inside the rope to cut off the four. A fine shy, and there's a review for the run-out! Jordan gathers in front of the stumps, flicks quickly with Imad six inches short! Terrible running... he was jogging all the way, and turned half a length behind his partner as the shy came to the far end! 129/6Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL154/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-42 (Babar Azam, 5.2 ov), 2-67 (Sohaib Maqsood, 8.1 ov), 3-69 (Mohammad Hafeez, 8.4 ov), 4-114 (Fakhar Zaman, 15.2 ov), 5-125 (Shadab Khan, 16.6 ov), 6-129 (Imad Wasim, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 This time Roy's over-cooked it! Down on one knee, another attempted slog-sweep, but he's sent it spiralling out into the off-side, well pocketed at long-off, and now there's a bit of a challenge for England. No-one else has got going 92/27.6 skied and taken this time! Babar running across from long-off, then screams out a war cry as he hurls the ball into the turf! Bit of dip and grip for Shadab, and again Buttler was nowhere near striking it cleanly. An uncharacteristic, ungainly knock from Buttler. Pakistan get a much-needed breakthrough 67/118.4 makes room, and bowled! Malan's ungainly knock is unpicked, he can't get his chop through the covers away, and back goes his leg stump. This is going to the wire! 143/513.2 round the wicket, and Bairstow skies his slog to short cover! He thought the ball was in his arc, but that turned just enough to confound his intentions, skewing high off the open face into the off side! Just about sticks as the ball plops into Maqsood's hands. Now then ... 104/314.6 Mo has a mow, and has to go! That's how he rolls ... a gallop to the pitch, goes for the big stroke, reckoning a roll of the dice was better than dying wondering, and back goes his middle stump! Next batter please! 112/419.2 Morgan attempts to hit the winning boundary but is caught at long-on! Hasan keeps Pakistan scrapping! The captain looking to finish it, may have been a cutter, mistimed and it went straight up 151/718.6 six and out! Livingstone wanted to finish in one ball, but instead, he's cuffed it to short third man! To be frank, it was there, but just skidded on... but still, a 300 strike-rate on a night like this isn't to be sniffed at! 149/6Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL155/7 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.88)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Jos Buttler, 7.6 ov), 2-92 (Jason Roy, 10.5 ov), 3-104 (Jonny Bairstow, 13.2 ov), 4-112 (Moeen Ali, 14.6 ov), 5-143 (Dawid Malan, 18.4 ov), 6-149 (Liam Livingstone, 18.6 ov), 7-151 (Eoin Morgan, 19.2 ov)
