That's a very good finish from England after the rain break. Pakistan lost wickets at crucial times, each occasion they were aiming to press on. The innings never really got going, except when Sarfraz Ahmed brough some energy. Azhar Ali laid a platform but struggled to kick on. England will be very confident of chasing this. We'll be back with the chase shortly (not exactly sure how long because of the rain, sorry, will try to confirm).

zen: ""England will be very confident chasing this" now that is biased, or cricket analysis from someone with a brain of a rodent." They chased 255 for 0 v Sri Lanka and 308 in 40 overs. Not saying they will win, saying inside the dressing room England will be confident. I'm off for a cuppa. See you seen. Match in pics, for your delectation
