9.14pm Off they walk, an unbroken stand of 139 from 72 balls giving England the extra 22 runs that they probably needed to have a chance last night... we're in for a fun pt 2! Will Jacks was impressive on debut too, and though Qadir grabbed two wickets, he went at two a ball.

Will Jacks: "A moment I've worked really hard for, what a place to make my debut, been buzzing tonight. The pitch is similar to the last two games, low and skiddy but once in nice to play on. Amazing finish by the guys, very special. Form gives you confidence, International cricket is an unknown but hopefully I know I can do it again. The way Babar and Rizwan played last night, no score is out of reach, if we don't get one of them out, they'll do what they did last night. Should be a good chase."

And with that, over to Danyal for the second act.

Haris Rauf to Duckett, 2 runs, well bowled once more, really tight on the legs, Duckett can only deflect to deep square again, but two more completes a mighty partnership
19.5
2
Haris Rauf to Duckett, 2 runs, cramped on the legs, flicked behind square and more good running brings two
19.4
1
Haris Rauf to Brook, 1 run, spanked into the covers, the bowler follows him well and it's just a single

Qasim Nawab: "Now then, will this be enough for Babar-Rizwan? The way the paced the innings yesterday, it looked like they could pace a 230 chase and win it comfortably. Looking for a similar show from the duo." That is the 230-dollar question

19.3

Haris Rauf to Brook, FOUR, so cheekily done... shades of Buttler as Brook unfurls the ramp, up and over his shoulder through fine leg
19.2
1
Haris Rauf to Duckett, 1 run, under-edged into the crease as Duckett tries to free the hands, Brook hustles through as the tap-in from the bowler goes wide of the posts

Haris Rauf to Duckett, no run, reverses the stance for a deflection through fine leg, but all the pace comes off the ball. Precious dot!

  • Ben Duckett65 (38b)
  • Harry Brook76 (33b)
  • Shahnawaz Dahani4-0-62-0
  • Mohammad Hasnain4-0-36-1

David : "Unusual innings - consistent boundary hitting but no big really overs. How about Duckman for a Test recall? " I reckon it is definitely on the cards, he was in the Oval squad last month

18.6
1
Shahnawaz Dahani to Duckett, 1 run, pinged down to long-on, another single to complete the 19th. What's feasible from here
18.5
1
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, 1 run, full toss, knee high outside off, Masood stoops well to cut off the flashing drive

This is turning into something quite sensational

18.4
4
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, FOUR, blockhole ball, and the hint of width allows Brook to open the face at the point of impact, and burgle another boundary!
18.3
6
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, SIX, Straight as a factory-farmed carrot! Inswinging on the yorker length, and Brook's levers just ping through the line, high and mighty into the stands!
18.2
2
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, 2 runs, slower ball, hoisted up into the leg side, not timed but lands wide of the sweeper. Again, they are rushing back for the second
18.2
1w
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, 1 wide, wide full toss, Brook doesn't follow it and the umpire signals the extra
18.1
4
Shahnawaz Dahani to Brook, FOUR, inswinging full toss, and pummelled through the covers! Not a bad ball, notionally, a fraction overpitched, but Brook was so still as the ball arrived, and no-one moved as the ball flashed by

END OF OVER:
18 | 14 Runs | ENG: 192/3 | RR: 10.66

  • Ben Duckett64 (37b)

Mohammad Hasnain to Duckett, FOUR, such a powerful pull! Duckett telegraphed his intentions by shimmying to leg, Hasnain followed him with a sharp short ball, but the hands were too quick, thumping down on the stroke right in front of his eyes
17.5
0
Mohammad Hasnain to Duckett, no run, round the wicket, hitting the middle of the pitch again, Duckett leans into a cut in front of square, and a sharp shy makes him hurry on the single

Temba: "Now that I'm hearing about his hands and legs, I must ask again what was meant by Brook getting his head to the pitch of the ball? Diving header Ala Harry Kane?" Not literally (dur!), obviously, but whenever he plays a stroke, his head is right over the ball. A hallmark of Pietersen's long reach

17.4
1lb
Mohammad Hasnain to Brook, 1 leg bye, much fuller, angled into the legs, half an appeal but the ball was missing leg
17.3
1
Mohammad Hasnain to Duckett, 1 run, round the wicket, pulled to the on-side, not timed but finds the gap
17.2
2
Mohammad Hasnain to Duckett, 2 runs, hustles through the pull, pivotting into the stroke as deep square scurries round to intercept
17.1
6
Mohammad Hasnain to Duckett, SIX, donked over midwicket! A fraction too short, pace off into the pitch, and Duckett just flick-pulls through the length, timing it so sweetly

END OF OVER:
17 | 10 Runs | ENG: 178/3 | RR: 10.47

  • Harry Brook59 (27b)
  • Ben Duckett51 (32b)
  • Haris Rauf3-0-29-0
  • Shahnawaz Dahani3-0-43-0

Hari: "These 2 seems to be channeling the spirit of KP, one in terms of stature and looks, and the other in the form of switch hits. " He was a gamechanger for this generation, no doubt about it

16.6
2
Haris Rauf to Brook, 2 runs, spears in the yorker, jammed down towards long-on, and just as Babar and Rizwan ran so effectively last night, that's a good delivery that's leaked two runs
16.5
4
Haris Rauf to Brook, FOUR, launched over the in-field! Extra cover was up in the ring, so Brook rocked back and flung the bat through the line, up and over!

He gets a hug from his Qalandar's team-mate for his troubles. The concussion protocol kicks in but no real dramas

16.4
0
Haris Rauf to Brook, no run, Brook has caught the ball in his grille! A sharp bouncer, following the batter as he swayed out of the way, and somehow deflected up past his chin and into his visor, without causing any damage along the way. That'll make a good pic for someone!
16.3
1
Haris Rauf to Duckett, 1 run, retreats to leg, swings across the line but thuds the pad. Still a stolen single into the off side
16.3
2w
Haris Rauf to Brook, 2 wides, fired far too wide of the legs, brilliant diving stop from the keeper though
16.2
1
Haris Rauf to Duckett, 1 run, chipped into the gap at midwicket as Duckett now reaches his fifty. What a fine stand this is proving to be
