7.45pm: Another solid batting effort from Pakistan, they've put a score on the door, no mistake. Mohammad Hafeez's name ran through the innings like a stick of rock, another fine effort from the old stage, after young upstart Haider Ali came shooting out of the blocks with fifty on debut (more on him here). But England chase a few more the other night, and always back their batting, so this could definitely go either way. Join Andrew Miller for the fireworks in 10

Mahmood to Mohammad Hafeez, 2 runs, dropped? Think it went straight through Mahmood in his follow through, the ball squeezes past mid-off but long-on comes around... so Hafeez equals his highest T20I score and England will need 191 to win the game and the series

Jordan to Imad Wasim, 2 runs, dropped! Imad slogs a slower delivery straight up, looks to be a simple catch coming in from long-on, but Curran shells it this time! Into the hands and out again

Imad Wasim is next man in

6
Jordan to Mohammad Hafeez, SIX, attempted yorker, slightly too full... caressed for six! Jordan only just missed his mark there, but Hafeez took it on the full and whispered it back down the ground, all the way!

Chris Jordan replaces Curran, who I expect will take the 20th
