    16.3 hoisted high into the leg side, this must surely be taken, and it is! Deep square leg jogs in to pouch a lollipopped top-edge, Bairstow was pulling ambitiously off the front foot, but didn't judge the pace and bounce 80/2
    5.5 down the track and driven straight to cover, and Rumman has his maiden ODI wicket! Hales was aiming something expansive over the infield, but didn't get enough bat into his stroke, the blade turned on impact. A comfortable catch to Babar's midriff, and Pakistan have their breakthrough! 34/1
    27.3 got him, nicked to the keeper trying to cut! Shadab-a-dab-a-doo, Pakistan break through! Root drags himself away in a huff but there was a clear top edge on that, some extra bounce as he went back, smartly held by Sarfraz at the wicket 128/3
    31.4 gone, another one falls, Hasan strikes again! The ball was very wide and Morgan was advancing to trying and belt it down the ground, only succeeded in getting a thin edge to the keeper. The temperature is rising in Cardiff, boyos! 141/4
    47.4 awesome bowling from Hasan! Another slower ball, Stokes doesn't pick it as it grips in the surface from a yorker length. The ball steeples into the off side, and plops gently into the hands of mid-off! England are in severe danger of being bowled out now 201/8
    34.1 edged, and gone! Oh my! Nibbled away from back of a length, Buttler was tentative outside off, and Sarfraz gathers low behind the stumps! England are officially in a pickle. And Pakistan are brawling! 148/5
    38.3 brilliant catch! Fakhar's the man as Moeen top-edges a pull out to deep backward square, he keeps his eye on the ball, gallops to his left, and plucks it with both hands as he stretches at full length! 162/6
    43.3 huge late inswing, a big appeal, but drifting down leg, but hang on, there's a direct hit at the non-striker's end, and Rashid is gone! Too slow to react to Stokes' call. And England continue to sink! 181/7
    48.5 pounded out to deep midwicket, emboldened by the sudden splurge of runs, but he's only gone and picked out deep square leg! England's last hope of serious rope-clearing is gone with seven balls remaining! 206/9
    49.5 backing away to have a swipe, Sarfraz gathers, under-arms, and strikes! Wood a long way short 211/10
