    MD: Aus made 197 vs India at the SCG earlier this year and still couldn't win. This could still be interesting

  2. Pkn 21-1published at 3 overs

    New man Khalid Latif wanted two from his clip off the legs but the thickset Sharjeel wants to keep the bowling.

    WICKETpublished at 2.5 overs

    Shehzad c Coulter-Nile b Hazlewood 1 (Pkn 20-1)

    Sharjeel had pulled another scintillating boundary but Shehzad never looked in touch in a six-ball struggle and he top-edges to fine-leg.

  4. Pkn 14-0 (Sharjeel 13, Shehzad 0)published at 11:28 Greenwich Mean Time 25 March 2016

    Sharjeel scythes the athletic paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile away over backward point for the first boundary of the day, cuts another with his flashing blade and clubs a third down the ground. A shindig from Sharjeel and Pakistan will be right in the mix, 12 from the over.

    "Pakistan have got time and have some big hitters to come, but partnerships are key."

  6. Pkn 2-0published at 1 over

    An unusually sedate start from Sharjeel and opening partner Ahmed Shehzad, some movement from Hazlewood and just a single and a wide to start.

    "Umar Akmal has the ability to take the game away from the opposition. I wonder if this could be his day."

    It will be the feisty fast bowler Josh Hazlewood to take the new ball against the free-scoring Sharjeel Khan, this should be good.

    We saw 20 fours, one of them an all-run four, and five sixes in that Australia innings. Their players are congregating on the outfield in that remarkably dark shade of green. What happened to the canary yellow? sorry, I meant Australian gold.

    Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "England haven't put together the perfect match yet. England did beat Sri Lanka in the last T20, the only team to do so when they won it. 

    "That was the match where Alex Hales smashed them for 99. England will want him to be fit to play.

    "Sri Lanka are not as fearsome as they were because they have lost key players but they still have quality spinners."

    Joe Root talking to Jonathan Agnew: "Alex Hales is improving with his back and he's feeling more comfortable. He had a training session today but we will have to see how he is tomorrow when he gets up."

    Well Edward doesn't think much of their chances and the facts are they have only made more than 194 on four occasions in their 105 previous T20 international matches.

    Edward: and just like that Pakistan are out...they can't chase.

    Thanks Stephan. I used to struggle to make that many in a season.

    So Pakistan have to pull off their highest successful chase in a T20 to stay in the competition. Here's Jamie Lillywhite to find out if they can do it.

    England batsman Joe Root: "It's a must-win game on Saturday and we have a point to prove after the last game against Afghanistan. We can win a game with ball and bat but we need to put them both together consistently. Then we can go all the way in this competition."

    Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz: "I could have done a bit better and below 170 for them would have been really good. They batted really well and the pressure was on us but it is a good batting wicket and we have to do it."
