Still they come, Adil Rashid as low as number 10 for England. He chips Anwar's final ball over the off side for a couple to a deafening din in Dubai. One over to go.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"Wickets tumbling, and England squandering quite a good position, to be honest. Adil Rashid needs to bring a bit of Yorkshire common sense here, they are in danger of not batting our their overs."

Willey c Maqsood b Anwar 4 (Eng 154-8)
Next ball! David Willey is gone, pulling straight down the throat of Shoaib Maqsood at deep square. England have lost 4-18 in 13 balls.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"It was full and wide, Plunkett went after it, edged it and it was a straighforward catch. England had looked like they were on for 170 or 180, they'll do well to get there tonight. Even with only 11 balls left, there's something to be said for getting bat on ball - you don't have to go after every ball."

Plunkett c Sarfraz b Anwar 1 (Eng 151-7)
Hmmmm. England just losing their way a touch here. Liam Plunkett comes and goes. It's right where he wants it from Anwar Ali, full and wide, but he only edges behind. Pakistan not only taking wickets, but bowling dots.

Are you keeping up with all this? Sixes, fours, wickets and dance music. Liam Plunkett the new man. Twelve balls to go.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"A good piece of bowling from Tanvir as when you play the ramp shot, you want pace on the ball. He only got an edge and the ball only just carried to Sarfraz Ahmed."

Buttler c Sarfraz b Tanvir 33 (Eng 150-6)
Jos Buttler plays one Butt-scoop too many and scoops it right into the gloves of Sarfraz Ahmed. Sohail Tanvir doesn't look happy, because he's been taken to all corners of Dubai, but that's a big wicket to take at this time.

Ilyas Najib: I cannot believe a Pakistani player has taken such a catch, honestly I'm speechless!
Eng 150-5 (Buttler 33 from 21)published at 17.4 overs
Image source, Getty ImagesStill Tanvir, arms of a flappy windmill, giving Buttler too much width to be pumped over cover for four. The boundary is greeted by some high-octane dance music. I like to think I'm down with the kids, but I've no idea what it is. Ooohhh, this is bad bowling. Short, no man at fine leg, hook for six. Buttler motoring.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"We saw the other night what Billings can do in the last few overs - he hit it pretty well by normal people's standards. So it's an important wicket for Pakistan as you can't expect David Willey, who's not had a significant innings for a while, to hit out straight away."
Eng 139-5 (Riaz 3-0-30-1)published at 17 overs
David Willey is the new man. This is about as high as he's batted for England, but he opened for Northants in T20s. More replays of the Umar catch. It gets better, not least for the initial control not to carry the ball over the rope, like a man teetering on the edge of a cliff.

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"He caught the ball just inside the boundary, his foot went over but he had the wit to throw the ball up in the air, get himself back inside the boundary and catch it. They'll check with the third umpire to make sure it's legal, but I think it's a wonderful, modern piece of fielding."

Billings c Umar b Riaz 11 (Eng 136-5)
It's brilliant from Umar. You know the type, when the boundary fielder has to throw the ball up, jump off, jump back on and catch it again. It's all the better because Umar took the initial catch high above his head and was severely off balance. You can't always see Pakistan taking worldies, but this is one of the best.

What a catch! Umar Akmal has surely done for Sam Billings here. We need another look...

Billings in on the act now. Riaz, full, but not full enough. Wallop. Six over long-on.
