- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 bowled 'im through the gate! Lovely stuff from Rashid, not sure it was the googly but there was no turn as Rizwan played all around the ball. Skips between bat and pad to hit the top of middle stump. Both Pakistan openers back in the hutch 65/25.6 steered straight to short third! Archer vents his frustration but he's made the breakthrough for England from the final ball of the powerplay. Slower delivery, sits up as Babar looks to open the face, ends up picking out Rashid on the edge of the ring. Pakistan lose their skipper after a decent start 59/114.1 takes on Jordan at long-on, and fails! Unbelievably cool catch, sprinting in off the rope, flinging himself forward and scooping the chance up as Usman scuffed his slap down the ground. It was flat and travelling and a lesser fielder would have been risking his teeth with that dive! 126/68.6 skied on the sweep, Rashid bags a steepler! Slower, loopier and Fakhar gets into a horrible shape aiming a slog-sweep across the line. Goes straight up the chimney but it's a tough catch for Rashid circling from square leg, he holds on brilliantly diving forward on a greasy surface 83/39.2 plays on first ball! Sliding on with the arm, Shadab goes back outside leg stump and thick-edges into his thigh pad, the ball cannoning back into the stumps! Throws back his head and trudges straight back off the field. After a confident start, Pakistan are stumbling towards the halfway mark of the innings 84/410.2 short and savage! Azam rocks back to avoid a preposterously quick bouncer, angled in and chasing him into the limbo position! He tries to get out of the way, but that kissed the glove, looped off the shoulder and into Buttler's waiting gloves! It's clocked at 88.4mph, but it looked significantly sharper than that! 86/517.6 sails high into the evening sky! A massive wind-up from Iftikhar, but Jordan has taken all the pace off the ball. The bat speed results in a steepling chance to Brook at wide long-on who makes no mistake 145/814.3 a rancid slap across the line, ping goes off stump! I've seen more productive hoicks in the Victoria Park Community Cricket League. A bit of a long-hop, the eyes lit up, the bat was nowhere near its target 126/718.4 banged in again, spliced to Buttler! That's the riposte. Naseem was turned inside-out by the cramping angle into his body. A leading edge as his bat came across the line and Pakistan are nine-down 149/919.5 wide line, hacked up in the air, deep third can't get there, but his shy can! In comes the throw from Livingstone as they turn back for two. Miles short, and Pakistan's innings ends with a ball to spare 157/10Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL157 all out (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.91)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Babar Azam, 5.6 ov), 2-65 (Mohammad Rizwan, 6.4 ov), 3-83 (Fakhar Zaman, 8.6 ov), 4-84 (Shadab Khan, 9.2 ov), 5-86 (Azam Khan, 10.2 ov), 6-126 (Usman Khan, 14.1 ov), 7-126 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 14.3 ov), 8-145 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 17.6 ov), 9-149 (Naseem Shah, 18.4 ov), 10-157 (Haris Rauf, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 battered... but straight to deep midwicket! No holding back, even with men out, but this time Salt can't clear them. Safely held a few yards in from the rope. Rauf roars in celebration, some respite for Pakistan 82/18.6 nicked behind, Azam HOLDS ON! Hard lengths do the job for Rauf, he's bowled really well and finally gets the reward of Buttler's wicket. Excellent wheels, draws a flat-footed push from the England captain. Azam takes it and then tosses the ball in the air as he turns away without celebrating 101/210.6 pace on, stump nailed! That's the riposte! A 90mph yorker, Jacks didn't have time to read that one, pitched inches from the off stump and plinked off the bail without disturbing the rest of the furniture! 112/3Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL158/3 (15.3 Overs, RR: 10.19)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Phil Salt, 6.2 ov), 2-101 (Jos Buttler, 8.6 ov), 3-112 (Will Jacks, 10.6 ov)
