England win by seven wickets at The Oval
England win rain-affected four-match series 2-0
England's final game before opening match in T20 World Cup against Scotland on 4 June
Rizwan b Rashid 23 (Pak 65-2)
Bowled 'im!
It's a beauty from Adil Rashid. He draws Mohammad Rizwan forward, the Pakistan opener played for spin and the ball went straight on.
Through the gate and into the stumps. Both Pakistan openers gone in the space of five balls.
There is a suggestion that rain may have begun to fall at The Oval...
But they're playing on for now and new batter Usman Khan squeezes the ball through backward point for four off Adil Rashid.

Good bowling from Jofra Archer.
Babar c Rashid b Archer 36 (Pak 59-1)
Jofra Archer strikes back!
Very clever bowling, taking the pace off the ball and Babar Azam sends a thick edge to Adil Rashid at short third.
The Pakistan captain tried to guide it rather than really hit it and maybe that caused his downfall.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on BBC Two
Babar will find the gaps, that was a smashing hit, this is a terrific start.
Babar Azam is flying!
After Phil Salt twice made excellent diving stops to deny him boundaries, the Pakistan skipper crashes the next ball through point.
No chance for Salt this time.
Four more! Powered in front of square this time.

Jofra Archer is back to bowl the last over of the powerplay.
A slower ball to start and Babar Azam plays and misses.
Lovely shot.
Mohammad Rizwan gives himself room and delicately guides the ball past the diving Mark Wood at short third.
Four more and Pakistan are really building up a head of steam now.

That's a big one!
Babar Azam skips down the track to Moeen Ali and smashes the ball back over his head for the first six of the evening.
Matthew Henry
BBC Sport at The Oval
The Pakistan support is, as ever, very loud.
An expensive over from Chris Jordan but he finishes with an excellent slower ball that completely deceives Babar Azam.
Pakistan are off to a good start and England are turning to spin early.

Chris Jordan is straying to the off side a little in his deliveries.
Andy Zaltzman
Cricket statistician on BBC Two
This has been the fastest starting bowling innings in a T20 for England, with the average ball being 91mph.
Crunch!
In the slot from Chris Jordan and Babar Azam, who had been getting a little bogged down, eases the pressure with a thumping shot over cover.
And another. This one isn't timed as well but it's in the gap and away for another boundary.
How did that miss?
Very full from Chris Jordan and Babar Azam plays all around it.
Somehow it just misses off stump.
Tymal Mills
England pace bowler on BBC Two
Image source, Getty ImagesThe one thing about playing about pace is it's instinctive, you don't really think about what you're doing.
Sharp bouncer from Mark Wood to end the over.
He came back well after those two boundaries to start it. He's really getting it through so far.

One of the downsides of pace is that the batters don't have to put much effort in to hit it far as we've seen.
