Eng 130-4 (Buttler 22 from 17)published at 16 overs
That's a big over when England needed it. Just when Pakistan were applying the breaks, Buttler has jumped on the gas. It could be 170 or more from here.
Summary
England win by three runs; lead series 2-0
Pakistan 169-8 (Shehzad 28, Plunkett 3-33)

And the next ball! Down the ground from Buttler, whose 46-ball ton on this ground is fresh in the memory. This is biffingtons from the England skipper.

Oh it's huge. Massive. Sohail Tanvir might be going through his box of tricks, but Jos Buttler has got a mighty wallop. Six over cow, into the top tier. Tanvir gets neck ache watching it go...

Lots and lots of noise in Dubai as Anwar Ali comes back into the attack. I'm not sure that's the reason... it's actually a Mexican wave. This pair of wicketkeepers are looking to rebuild England's momentum, to nudge and nurdle before the late bash. In the crowd, there's a man in a Santa hat. That's the first I've seen this year. Well played, sir.

Sam Billings, last night's hero, is the new man, arriving with England in a better position than 24 hours ago. Shahid Afridi takes his cap with figures of 3-15 from his four overs. A captain's effort.

Between the last over of the eighth over and the fifth ball of the 12th over, England managed only one boundary - a six. In the last seven balls they've hit two fours and two sixes to get back on top. A score of 160 is well in reach now.

Oh, James Vince. Six, four, four. Over cover, then twice through square leg. England cooking.

Dropped! Six! Wahab Riaz does James Vince with a slower ball, Vince going through his drive and seemingly picking out the man at long-off. Is that Sohail Tanvir down there? A leap to tip it over the bar for a maximum. Surely he should be taking that?

England struggling a touch here, Jos Buttler about five minutes too late on a drive against the pacy Wahab Riaz. Appeal for caught behind, not given

BBC Test Match Special"You just feel the Pakistan side is better balanced today. It would be even better for them if Mohammad Hafeez wasn't banned from bowling, but Malik and Afridi are going to have to be their spinners today."
Eng 78-3 (Malik 2-0-15-1)published at 11 overs
Looking again, that catch from Afridi was very good. He had to leap high, getting both hands above his head at full stretch. Not an for an old-timer. Jos Buttler, rested yesterday and captain today, is England's number five.
