4.09pm So, what do we have in store in this contest? It's a good pitch, and an England line-up full of young thrusters eager to make a point or two. Jofra Archer was the pick of the England attack, a brace of wickets at the top and middle of the innings that interrupted Pakistan's progress, not to mention a brilliantly athletic run-out. Back shortly for the resumption.

Jordan to Imad Wasim, FOUR, supreme finish! Whipped with brutal wrists, clean past the sweeper at fine leg! Offline from Jordan, and punished behind square. That's a much healthier total than appeared likely after their wobble.
19.5
4
Jordan to Imad Wasim, FOUR, very full again, and thumped off the toe of the bat, straight through long-off! Placement over timing, and valuable runs!

Still no sign of the skipper. How random. Here's Hasan Ali

19.4
W
Jordan to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, 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

Faheem Ashraf c Denly b Jordan 17 (10b 1x4 1x6) SR: 170.00

19.3

Jordan to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, attempted yorker, and that is utterly flogged on the up over long-off! Picked the length early, right underneath the shot with oodles of lovely bottom hand. Like a left-handed Jos Buttler

1
Jordan to Imad Wasim, 1 run, right up to the blockhole, flashed back to the bowler and dropped! Though, intercepted is probably fairer. He stuck out a mitt and stopped the run

Lots of shuffling in the field

Aadii: "Isn't this Archers 2nd match? Wicket on Debut??" T20 debut, innit. Keep up!

1
Jordan to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, good pace, banged into the hip, and Imad can't connect on the pull

One over to go, Jordan to bowl it. England have clawed this back superbly

Rashid to Imad Wasim, 1 run, a smear across the line, this is a fine over in the circumstances

Rashid to Imad Wasim, FOUR, pounded hard back over the bowler's head! That's a proper wallop

1
Rashid to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, reverse-slap, can't connect properly

Rashid into the attack. With a left-hander in his sights

Waqas Qureshi: "It's Asif Ali who is out at 16 4. ESPN Cricinfo. Make it correct please. You mentioned Imad Wasim " Yep, he was the bloke who faced the ball. As you were...

Archer to Imad Wasim, no run, turns his stance inside-out, can't connect with a flick over the leg side. Another fine over from Archer, whose spell has made the difference so far
17.5
1
Archer to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, yorker, lovely length, can't do much with that, except not get out
17.4
4
Archer to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, flipped to the leg side, timed it well, using the pace and the slight error in direction
17.3
1
Archer to Imad Wasim, 1 run, very full and straight, thumped with intent to mid-on
17.2

1
Archer to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, right up to the toes, clipped firmly to midwicket, and another mix-up between the wickets. Careful now!

Three to go, and here comes Archer again

Maryam : "Why don't you post my comment see i predicted pak collapse they can't cross 190" Probably because my mind has been on pies

Jordan to Faheem Ashraf, 1 run, another slower ball, tight line on off stump, tapped to cover
16.5
1
Jordan to Imad Wasim, 1 run, clocked into the covers

Wow... this has imploded like a badly-cooked soufflé

16.4
W
Jordan to Imad Wasim, OUT, 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!

Asif Ali run out 3 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

16.3
0
Jordan to Imad Wasim, no run, slower ball again, so slow it barely reaches the batsman, let alone bouncing high enough to connect with his ambitious slap across the line
16.2
1
Jordan to Asif Ali, 1 run, outside off, chopped to third man
