    Gwen Newman: @ZaltzCricket Do you have stats on whether anyone has previously bowled and commentated on international cricket from an end named after them in the same season?

    Stuart Broad must have had a few.

    You don't get many reviews that are called wides.

    There is still some sunshine around despite all this rain but while we wait for a resumption, have a look at some of these strokes from Tom Banton, the 21-year-old striking a fine maiden T20 fifty.

    That rain has been coming down strongly for some time now and the umpires decide they cannot continue in this.

    Very good decision. It was a wide.

    It has been a really impressive bit of work from Pakistan to get themselves back into this game. They have really put the brakes on. England have a bit of work to do to get to a match-winning score.

    Billings 3, Jordan 2

    Heavy rain with the sunshine and players sliding in the field. The umpires confer but decide to continue. Four overs left.

    That was a poor bit of cricket from Lewis Gregory. Imad bowls flat and doesn't give the ball a lot of air. It is very difficult to come down the pitch and hit him down the ground. Batsmen have had success playing him from the crease.

    Gregory st Rizwan b Imad 2 (Eng 123-6)

    A short stay for Gregory, lured out of his ground by Imad and smartly stumped by the razor sharp Rizwan.

    Billings 1, Gregory 1

    Sunshine and showers under the lights at Old Trafford now. Two new men at the crease for England, Sam Billings and Lewis Gregory. Billings scored an unbeaten 46 and 67 in the ODI's against Ireland.

    Shadab has brought this back brilliantly for Pakistan.

    As the rain starts to fall, Moeen departs, cutting one a little close to his body and the rapid edge smartly taken at the second attempt behind the stumps by the excitable Rizwan.

    Morgan is berating himself. He knows it was too full to sweep. Pakistan have swung the game back in their favour.

    Morgan lbw Iftikhar 14 (Eng 118-4)

    It was full and straight, Morgan tried to sweep and made no contact. No review and wise not to because it was hitting the middle of middle stump. England still with two reviews at their disposal.

    Twenty-one-year-old Tom Banton became the youngest player to get a half-century for England. Previously it was Jonny Bairstow, aged 22.

  20. Eng 111-3published at 13 overs

    Two left-handers at the crease now as Moeen joins his captain. A tough act to follow after that 71 from Banton, with four fours and five sixes.
