9.17pm Well, that was Rizwan and bust from Pakistan. Another superb effort at the top of the order, 63 from 46 balls, but no-one else managed more than 15. Mark Wood was England's exocet in the powerplay, and claimed 3 for 20 all told to reaffirm his return to form and fitness. Curran and Willey grabbed two apiece for the left-armers' union. And, with dew likely to be a factor, you'd assume England are strong favourites in this chase. But Pakistan LOVE to make an ass out of U and Me... Alan will be here in a mo to talk you through it.

Shahzada: "30 Runs short for Pak for decent target"

MALIK: "good total by team Pakistan "

Zain: "Lahore has produced some low-scoring encounters during the PSL. Let's see how the pitch plays out in the second innings. Let's hope Pakistan fights back and it is not a dull encounter for this packed house. "

Woakes to Haris Rauf, OUT, huge heave, high out to deep midwicket! More boshty contact from Rauf, but this time it's straight up into the floodlights! Curran calls early and takes a very good catch a metre in from the rope. England will need 146 for a 3-2 lead

Haris Rauf c Curran b Woakes 8 (9m 5b 0x4 1x6) SR: 160.00

Junaid: "145 will be a good total to defend on this Pitch. Mark my Words Guysss!!!!" Marked!

Woakes to Haris Rauf, SIX, picked up magnificently over deep midwicket! Sits up in the pitch outside off, too short from Woakes with width to seize upon. Hammered!

Curran to Haris Rauf, 2 runs, round the wicket, very full, angling in on middle and leg, clipped uppishly to deep midwicket.

Curran to Haris Rauf, 1 wide, shaping past the legs, one more to the cause

Right. What can Wasim and Rauf give themselves to defend?

Curran to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT, knee-high full toss, flicked to backward square! Rizwan's vigil is done, and in a cruel fashion, a foot either side and that was six. Instead, Rashid didn't need to move, and England are closing in on an early end to this innings

Mohammad Rizwan c Rashid b Curran 63 (100m 46b 2x4 3x6) SR: 136.95

Zain : "For all the haters Rizwan is playing at a strike rate of 140 is he still the problem ?" Well quite...

Wood to Mohammad Rizwan, 2 runs, fuller length, pumped into the covers, no great timing but placed well enough to give deep point a long chase

They heard...

Wood to Mohammad Rizwan, SIX, panned over square leg! Rizwan isn't done yet, a step to the off-side, and a pick-up off the hips as Wood banged the pitch once more!

MNK: "Pak's doing God's work here - they know every wicket means 50k PKR, so they are literally donating their wicket. Somebody tell them about $1000 USD per Six "

Wood to Mohammad Rizwan, no run, yorker, well directed, attacking leg stump and pushed out to cover
