8.05pm Crikey. England were looking sorted after the Powerplay, but a solitary boundary in the second 10 overs! Pakistan will fancy their chances of ending their summer on a high. Back shortly.

Touseef Rajput: "Shaping out to be very good match. English openers really played well today. Team England should be thankful to them. And what a come back by Pakistani bowlers."

Wahab Riaz to Ali, 1 run, inswinging yorker to finish! That's superb bowling, and England finish with a inside-edged single to fine leg

Wahab Riaz to Ali, no run, beautiful change-up. 20mph quicker, full outside off, and Moeen can't lay bat on ball...

Wahab Riaz to Ali, 2 runs, battered high and hard out to deep cover, it plugs in between two fielders, but one of them, Babar Azam, looks in trouble here. He's twisted his ankle on the dewy surface, and they've hauled him off the pitch!

So, three balls left as England's specialist six-hitter comes in. But he's not on strike ...

Wahab Riaz to Willey, OUT, heaved through the line, once again it's not timed, and a loose slap plops to mid-off! The umpires check quickly for the no-ball, but that's fine (for a change) and England lose another!

DJ Willey c Shoaib Malik b Wahab Riaz 12 (17m 12b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Zuhaib: "This is why Pakistan is unpredictable. Like all I also was believing that it would be record breaking total." I think 263 would have been asking a bit, but yes ... I suspect England are someway short of expectations ...

Wahab Riaz to Willey, 2 runs, full again, swinging into the pads, and they scamper the second as Sarfraz gives chase

Ahsan Majeed: "This is going to be a low scoring thriller. Low scores are always tricky, specially with the likesof pakistan chasing it."

Wahab Riaz to Willey, no run, outside off, Willey gave himself room but the bowler just held his line and left him reaching for the ball. No contact

END OF OVER:

  • David Willey10 (9b)
  • Moeen Ali10 (12b)
  • Mohammad Amir4-0-33-0
  • Sohail Tanvir4-0-35-0

One over left to put some welly into this total. Pakistan will be ecstatic so far ...

Mohammad Amir to Willey, 1 run, short once more, and once again, a woolly pull deflects loosely to the leg side

Mohammad Amir to Ali, 1 leg bye, slower bouncer, Moeen is through his pull before the ball arrives and wears it on the chest instead

Mohammad Amir to Willey, 1 run, worked to the gap for another single

Muddasir: "The way england playing today, we use to play as a child. putting yourself in front of ball , ball misses bat hits body and we ran. all byes " They all count ... I made a brilliant 0 from 14 balls to nearly not lose a game once...

Mohammad Amir to Willey, 2 runs, yorker, excellent bowling again, but Moeen digs it out to leg and looks for the second with the field set deep
18.2
1
Mohammad Amir to Ali, 1 run, shorter and sharper, a regulation square leg would have gobbled that in his pinny, as it looped off the glove. Moeen's hoick through the line can't judge the pace again

Mohammad Amir to Ali, no run, Ali gave himself room to leg, so Amir followed him, spearing the yorker inside his pads. Well bowled

  • David Willey6 (6b)
  • Sohail Tanvir4-0-35-0
  • Mohammad Amir3-0-28-0

Waqas: "Looking at the pitch and England's bowling attack, anything above 140 would be a decent total. Isn't it? " Yes, I think you might have a point. We shall see

Sohail Tanvir to Ali, 1 run, jammed to third man, another fine over, that long-hop notwithstanding

Sohail Tanvir to Ali, no run, clever bowling, that's a ridiculously subtle slower ball, out of the back of the hand, and Moeen is utterly foxed as he attempts two shots

Mazahir: "This has been a great come back from Pakistan after that carnage of England 444. Its Pakistan for you. They are roaring back and that what World cricket needs from them." Quite right

17.4

Sohail Tanvir to Willey, 1 leg bye, quicker and fuller, slams the pads but heading down the leg side
17.3

Sohail Tanvir to Willey, FOUR, slower ball, but the length is wrong. That sits up and begs to be spanked, and there is England's first boundary since the dawn of time. Doesn't clear the ropes though... one bounce at wide long-on

Sohail Tanvir to Ali, 1 run, short, and pulled around the corner

  • Mohammad Amir3-0-28-0
  • Wahab Riaz3-0-13-2

Sheryar: "Did Morgan say this was a very strong T20 side they have?" Same team that reached the World T20 final, so yes, it is. Pakistan have bowled very well, but this pitch doesn't look the easiest. Hitting through the line is tricky, especially with the lengths they are bowling

Mohammad Amir to Willey, 1 run, full length, nudged out to point

Mohammad Amir to Ali, 1 run, slower ball, banged into the pitch, well bowled again

Umpire's call for that lbw, by the way

Mohammad Amir to Ali, 2 runs, nudged into the leg-side, it's a slower ball, and again the lack of pace allows them to get the second. Good running

Mohammad Amir to Willey, 1 leg bye, huge appeal from Amir as this one tails into the left-hander from a full length, but umpire Gough reckons that's going down
