- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 chipped straight to cover! Rizwan's night is done, a low full toss outside his eyeline, forcing him to reach on the outswinger, Hales dropped one earlier but couldn't fail to pouch that. A fine effort in isolation, but it won't have done much to change the rumblings about strike rates... 152/411.5 launched straight at deep midwicket! Vital breakthrough, Babar winds through his pull, just a touch shorter from Dawson but not significantly so. Duckett barely had to move as the chance thudded into his midriff. The first time this pair have been parted on this strip for 300 runs! 97/118.3 inswinging yorker, and plumb! Masood has a massive swing, gets pinned on the back shin, right in front of leg. He's not reviewing that 149/219.1 a hopeless hack off the good length! Poor chap, on a hiding to nothing out there, a cunning slower ball, perfect line too, Moeen backpedals in the covers and swallows a simple chance 152/3Extras5 (lb 3, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL166/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.3)Fall of wickets: 1-97 (Babar Azam, 11.5 ov), 2-149 (Shan Masood, 18.3 ov), 3-152 (Khushdil Shah, 19.1 ov), 4-152 (Mohammad Rizwan, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 GONE! The left-arm spinner pulls this one back and forces Salt to slog sweep to midwicket where Wasim is waiting to take a simple catch! Lively start... 8/11.2 BRILLIANT! Hales gives himself room and the bowler follows him meaning the cross-bat shot is cramped. Gets it away but Usman Qadir dives expertly to his left at short midwicket to take a great catch. Eight balls into the innings and both openers back in the hutch... 13/21.6 AND ANOTHER! What a start from Pakistan! Hasnain has a second, rushing Jacks - again this delivery doesn't get up as much but Jacks is stuck in the crease as this one hurries through and hits middle and off! England in disarray... 14/37.2 Worth a review? Nawaz gets the on-field call as Duckett tries to move outside the line and sweep around the corner and is adjudged LBW. Duckett does review... but to no avail. Impact is in line and the rest is a formality. Great call live from umpire Asif Yaqoob. 57/414.2 caught at fine leg! That's such a big wicket, and now it really is advantage Pakistan! Wasim hit the pitch hard, challenging Brook to take on the pull, but rolled his fingers to take off the pace. Hasnain didn't have to move on the edge of the rope! 113/613.2 bowled him! Moeen charges down the track, and completely misses it as he wipes towards the leg side! Stump to stump from Nawaz, you miss I hit stuff. And that is a very timely breakthrough indeed! 106/516.3 yorker! That's stunning, fast, full, round the wicket, crashing into middle! Willey did his bit to keep England in touch, but that might well be that! 130/718.3 bouncer, holes out to midwicket! It's all up for grabs now! Dawson tried to steer his pull rather than fling everything he had at it, and pays the price with a simple lob. Cripes! 162/818.4 bowled him first ball! Rauf attacks the top of off, fast and furious and Stone is stone-dead on debut! Pakistan are taking the scenic route, but they are favourites once again! 162/919.2 run out! Topley gets into line again, pushes to the on-side, this time they have to try to get him off-strike, but the under-arm shy was true! Masood alert at mid-on, hurtling in and beating the floundering batter by a good two feet. Pakistan have levelled it at 2-2! 163/10Extras6 (lb 3, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL163 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 8.43)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Phil Salt, 0.4 ov), 2-13 (Alex Hales, 1.2 ov), 3-14 (Will Jacks, 1.6 ov), 4-57 (Ben Duckett, 7.2 ov), 5-106 (Moeen Ali, 13.2 ov), 6-113 (Harry Brook, 14.2 ov), 7-130 (David Willey, 16.3 ov), 8-162 (Liam Dawson, 18.3 ov), 9-162 (Olly Stone, 18.4 ov), 10-163 (Reece Topley, 19.2 ov)
