Pak 20-0published at 2.1 overs

2.1 overs

Eoin Morgan might have been out on the boundary to have a word with Chris Woakes, but the 12th-man skipper shells a catch as Shehzad whips Willey for the first six of the innings. Wakey wakey, captain. 

Hmmm, not great from Woakes, who adds another wide and then drops short to allow Rafatullah a slap down the ground for four. Pakistan up and running. 

Pete Naylor: Almost comical running from Pakistan here after just one over. Not totally comical as we've yet to have a disaster of a run-out!

Chris Woakes, recalled today, shares the new ball, posing a different threat by shaping the ball away. At least, that's the theory. When the ball doesn't move, Woakes twice gives away wides down the leg side.

"A good bit of fielding there from Willey, he's gone to his dominant side and swivelled, but Rafatullah is home by a foot or so."

There's all sorts of trouble going on behind the bowler's arm. In the posh seats, movement is distracting the batsmen, One chap who looks like Rio Ferdinand is asked to move. Willey is swinging the ball into this pair of right-handers, who look to steal a single. Willey does his own fielding and hits, but replays show Rafatullah is home.

Pak 1-0

Almost gone without scoring! Shahzad pushes to mid-wicket and sets off, dawdling as Alex Hales gathers and throws. Even with the dive, Shahzad would have been gone had Hales hit.

"There was a little bit of a nervous point when England lost three wickets for four runs, but I think 172 is a good total."

Swift turnaround. David Willey has the ball, Ahmed Shahzad and Rafatullah Mohmand are in the middle. Pakistan need 173 to keep the series alive.

Saqib Rao: Pakistan might as well throw in the white flag to save themselves from another batting embarrassment- out of their reach again

Full scorecard

No team have ever chased more than 170 to win a T20 in the UAE, so Pakistan will need to make a bit of history. England will be enjoying their half-time brew just a little more.

"By my reckoning that was 14 off the last over which will cheer the dressing-room up. It didn't look like they'd make 172 at one stage. It's still a good game. That last over may not be decisive, but it was significant."

Four from the final ball! Another Riaz full toss, another Woakes slice to third man for four. England get up to 172. Maybe a touch more than par. It could be a very, very good second half.

"Pakistan have put their slower fielders in the ring, which you tend to do in the last few overs, the ball just dribbled towards the umpire and they ran two."

Brilliant running. An inside edge doesn't leave the circle, but Woakes gets two.

Rashid throws everything at it. Kitchen sink, taps, plug and U-bend, but only finds the sweeper on the off side. When Riaz serves up a full toss, Woakes smears to third man for four.

Good from Woakes, who pinches two when it's not on. Just as good from Riaz, who then finds a yorker. Three from the first two balls.

Chris Rhodes: Can't make up my mind whether it's ordinary England or souped up Pakistan?
