    The groundstaff are wandering out to the middle. I think it has just about stopped raining.

    Yes and I have a new racquet I am waiting to try out.

    I always wanted to be Boris Becker when I was growing up. I would spend hours practising my diving volley in the living room.

    Just to confirm, there was a mention of 21:48 as the cut-off time. It is indeed by 21:19 BST that they need to be playing again. That would represent a five-over game and the target would be 56. So not long to clear up for the groundstaff if the rain stops.

    I tried not to think who was at the other end. You can get overawed by a batsman's record or what they have achieved in the game. I tried to just think of him as a right-handed batsman.

    He was a great player but wasn't destructive. He would be respectful to your best ball. You could bowl your best ball to Sehwag and he could hit it for six. That, I found more difficult.

    I got lucky on occasions against Tendulkar. You need a bit of luck against players like that.

    You had success against Sachin Tendulkar. Did you do anything different against him?

    Still a little drizzle falling in the sunset. The latest we can start - for what will be a five-over game - is 21:19 BST. If it is a five-over thrash, Pakistan's target would be 56.

    Hashim Amla was one I struggled to get out. I think I got him out once or twice. He is someone maybe I should have had more success against. He always got the better of me.

    Who was the one wicket that got away that you feel you should have got?

    A flurry of wickets checked the England momentum and they were 131-6 after 16.1 overs when rain bought a premature end to their innings.

    Back to the highlights then and here is some more of Banton's brilliance. Four fours and five sixes in his 71 from 42 balls, his highest T20i score in only his fourth match.

    The rain hasn't cleared away yet - it's threatening to.

    When I think about my best performances as an England player, the Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in 2013 is my best all-round performance. I got 10 wickets in the match and I got Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin, the last wicket. That was one of my favourite moments in an England shirt.

    I don't think it has driven me to want to keep going. You have always got to look forward and not dwell on the past.

    To Jimmy, how much does that last Ashes tour drive you on to want to keep going?
