That's all from us here. Here's Matt Roller's round-up of all the action. Can Pakistan bounce back in the third T20I or will England take the series with a game to spare? Join us in Cardiff on Tuesday to find out!

6.07pm: Player of the match is England captain Jos Buttler: "I thought there were some great performances from everybody.

On his form: "You always want to be playing well. I feel like I'm hitting the ball well, which is great."

On Jofra Archer's return: "I thought he was brilliant. you can see the emotion, taking wickets again, is fantastic. He's not just going to be the Jofra Archer of old straight away, but a really positive performance. It's absolutely trying to get overs into Jofra but looking after him as well. I thought the whole bowling group was brilliant."

6.03pm: "It was a par score," starts Babar Azam. "I think our bowlers bowled very well. Our batting had moments but we were not close to finishing well. If someone scored 40 or 50 then I think we'd have definitely have won this game.

"Mostly we are flexible and everyone knows their role. Before the series we decided to go with these roles, so we're clear. The way Fakhar dominated after the early wickets fell. I think if me and Fakhar had batted for four or five more overs, then we could have won."

On Imad Wasim, who took 2 for 19 after coming out of retirement: "He's a very clever bowler and his batting is improved. So it's very good for us."

aariz: "At this point, it is evident that Saim shouldn't be playing until he really proves himself in some series after the WC. Mohammad Haris to open with Rizwan or they should open the batting with Usman khan and Mohammad Rizwan and bring in Irfan Khan Niazi in the middle. I hope PCB and Kirsten hear this."

Topley to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, Slog sweep, into the wind... and Pakistan are all out! Phil Salt charges in from the fence as it hangs in the air, sets himself and takes a great catch. England win the second T20I by 23 runs, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. A professional performance from England, boosted by the return of Jofra Archer. For Pakistan, they were good in phases but find themselves with some familiar questions to answer...

Topley to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 2 runs, Full, on the toes - Afridi attempts to whip it away but ends up wearing it. But the way the field is set, Topley has to chase after the ball as it dribbles into an unmanned part of the ring, allowing the batters to run two

Reece Topley with the final over

Jordan to Haris Rauf, 2 runs, Over-pitched yorker, met with the full face of the bat down the ground... and Archer does brilliantly to save, running to his left from a wide long on put in a tumbling effort that saves two

Jordan to Mohammad Amir, OUT, Slower ball yorker does the trick! Amir tries to ramp but is through the shot because of the lack of pace on an off cutter which goes on to light up the stumps

Jordan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, no run, ... and he's immediately got Umpire Saggers' finger up for an LBW appeal. Shaheen's not convinced and has asked for a review. It's full, clanging into the back pad... but the impact is outside leg stump. Good review

Jordan to continue...

Archer to Mohammad Amir, FOUR, Edged down to third! Amir suggest he meant to get it where he did, and it looks like it - jumping back to a length ball and opening the face at the last moment

Archer to Imad Wasim, OUT, Met on the full, timed... and straight to Livingstone at deep cover! Have to feel for Imad, who hits it too sweetly as Jofra overpitches his yorker. A second wicket for the quick on his return. It's been a good day for him and, thus, English cricket
