England vs Pakistan

A stunning unbeaten opening partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan saw Pakistan pull off a remarkable run-chase to beat England by 10 wickets ...

There is very little time for Pakistan to celebrate, with less than 24 hours until the sides meet again on Friday, once more at Karachi's National Stadium. The hosts had been 87-1 at the same stage in Tuesday's opener, before going on to make just 158 from their 20 overs. They played good cricket shots and they got a massive partnership, but that can happen. I went for 20 and that gave them the belief. England bowler Adil Rashid: "I thought we did tremendously well to get 199. The Yorkshire batter struck three sixes, including a delightful drive over extra cover, on his way to making 31 from 19 balls. "But the momentum changed when I bowled my over. A seventh century stand between the pair also saw them extend their record for the most between any two batters in T20Is. "I thought it would do a little bit more second innings. I thought they played tremendously well. Once more one brought two for Pakistan as Duckett was bowled by Mohammad Nawaz in the following over, leaving England with two new batters at the crease in Harry Brook and Moeen with the score at 101-4 in the 13th over. The decision at the toss initially appeared to be a good one as Alex Hales, who made a half-century on Tuesday in his return to international cricket after a three-year exile, once more helped get England off to a fast start.
