8.44pm Here endeth the first innings, and even allowing for Pakistan's bowling strength on what is clearly a helpful pitch, it's advantage England. A stunning display throughout, but most particularly through the middle overs with Adil Rashid to the fore, and at the death where Sam Curran's figures of 3 for 12 in four overs will take some matching if England are to be denied now... mind you, Shaheen Shah Afridi has figures of 9 for 60 in his last 11 overs. If he gets stuck into the powerplay, who knows... KK will be with you shortly, assuming this rain doesn't get any heavier... the sense is that it's okay for now!

Adil Rashid: "As long as the collective is doing well, it's not an individual game. Assess the pitch and conditions, they may like the ball a bit quicker, so slowing it up was my strength. A lot of twos and threes out there, so run hard to the boundary fielders, and be courageous. If we'd been offered 137 so we'd have been very happy."

As Matt Roller has just clocked, this is exactly the total that West Indies defended in the final ten years ago. Eyes emoji, as the kids like to say...

Jordan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 1 bye, another air-shot, down the pitch for a piroutteing pull, can't make contact but they rush through as Buttler gathers

Jordan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, FOUR, top-edge on the pull! A boundary at last for Pakistan, over the keeper's head, and away to the rope for the first time in four overs. Useful... but is it enough?
