  1. dropped catch

    Jacks dropped on 8

    Oh, that's a howler.

    Azam Khan is having a shocking day. Haris Rauf gets the outside edge of Will Jacks but the keeper puts down a very simple chance behind the stumps.

    Let's just say, the bowler is not amused.

  2. Eng 96-1

    Ha, cheers Sam.

    Haris Rauf starts his second over with two rare dot balls to Will Jacks.

  3. Eng 96-1

    Target: 158

    Time for spin as Shadab Khan comes into the attack.

    It's a very tidy start from the leggie, just five from the over. England's start means they don't need much more than that from here.

    Anyway, with the hosts racing towards their target, it's time for us to bring in our finisher. Here's Ffion Wynne.

    Haris Rauf just a little short, Buttler seeing it instantly and gets a good hit on it.

  5. Eng 91-1

    Target: 158

    Jos Buttler adds another boundary, swivelling to pull through square leg as the runs keep coming.

    A good slower ball deceives Buttler and ends a wicket-taking over for Haris Rauf.

  6. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Excellent strike from an excellent young player.

  7. Eng 86-1

    Target: 158

    Will Jacks is the new batter and is quickly into his work.

    First ball, drilled through the off side for four!

    Salt just trying to keep the run-rate high.

    Big wicket for Pakistan.

    WICKET

    Salt c Rizwan b Rauf 45 (Eng 82-1)

    Phil Salt picks out deep mid-wicket!

    Banged in short by Haris Rauf and the England opener went after it.

    He made solid contact but not solid enough, Mohammad Rizwan is waiting to take the catch on the boundary.

    England pace bowler on BBC Two

    It's been a tough night for the Pakistan bowlers.

    No matter what they've tried, England have had an answer.

  11. Eng 82-0

    Target: 158

    Good first ball from Haris Rauf, getting the edge as Phil Salt drives... but it is wide of the wicketkeeper and away for four.

    It's been that kind of night for the Pakistan bowlers.

  12. England are running away with this now.

  13. Eng 78-0

    Target: 158

    A dot ball ends the powerplay but it is little comfort to Pakistan after a blistering six overs of hitting from Phil Salt and Jos Buttler.

    They're almost halfway to their target already.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    Hands on hips. Eyes looking to the floor.

    The Pakistan body-language is not good.

    Salt dropped on 34

    Eng 75-0

    Oh dear.

    Good bouncer from Mohammad Amir, Phil Salt gloves it down the leg side but it bursts through Azam Khan's gloves and away for four.

    A pair of boundaries to start the over...

  16. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Two

    This is what you want from your captain heading into a big tournament.

    You can see he's going through the gears.

  17. Eng 67-0

    Target: 158

    Goodness me, this is brutal stuff from Jos Buttler.

    Back-to-back boundaries to end the over. The first is flaying through the off-side and the second is pulled to mid-wicket.

    The England captain has raced to 29 from 13 balls, Phil Salt is on 30 from 17.

  18. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on BBC Two

    It's relentless pressure on the bowler and look at the angles that he's taking, it's terrific batting.

  19. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at The Oval

    It's the England fans you can hear now. The hosts are rampant.

    Eng 59-0

    Target: 158

    That's massive!

    The ball after ramping Naseem Shah for four, Jos Buttler advances and clubs the ball high over long-on for another six.

    England are flying...
