9.09pm Well gosh. A change of approach from England, deciding to take first use of the surface and making brilliant use of it. Moeen with his lusty leg-side smoting, and Duckett with all sorts of cheeky improvisation were the mainstays, with useful hands from Hales, Salt, Brook and Curran too.

Here's Ben Duckett: "It's about match-ups, their left-arm spinner and legspinner were mine. We were thinking 160 was par. A lot of time you hit fielders, I didn't face much seam but it seems like it's keeping low. The lads in the Powerplay said it was tough. The main thing here is wickets throughout the innings."

Sameer: "Shocking ! This Pakistan team management, coach, selectors and captain contingent are mindbogglingly stubborn. The team keeps losing abjectly, and they refuse to identify and make the changes needed to get results. 200 on this pitch is NOT achievable. What are they thinking keeping the likes of Khushdil, Iftikhar, etc. on?" I guess we shall find out!

To clarify, everyone was asking about A few people asking what is the record for bowleds in a T20I innings... Go on, hazard a guess... bowleds in an innings. No-one has been asking about sixes...

Shahnawaz Dahani to Ali, FOUR, another four through fine leg! Poor ball, back of a length, leg-sided, there's a man at short backward square but it's past him before he can move

Shahnawaz Dahani to Curran, 1 run, nudges the single to make it two from two
17.4
1
Shahnawaz Dahani to Ali, 1 run, dropped at deep midwicket! That is an absolute horror-show. One of the easiest chances imaginable, arriving at waist-height, into Khushdil's hard hands and out again

Haris Rauf to Brook, OUT, five bowleds out of five! One improvisation too many from Brook, who kneels in an attempted ramp, but fails to pick the slower ball. The ball hops obediently into the middle of middle stump, and so ends another sparkly innings

HC Brook b Haris Rauf 31 (29m 19b 1x4 3x6) SR: 163.15

Haris Rauf to Ali, 1 run, Moeen shimmies to leg, then strides to the off-side to press a push into the covers

Haris Rauf to Brook, 1 run, tickled off the pads once more, a finer connection could have been another boundary, but backward square tidies up
16.3
6
Haris Rauf to Brook, SIX, bouncer, but that's swatted away like a wasp from a cream tea. Down the leg side, too short on that line, and Brook is into position early to loft it round the corner
