Fakhar c Banton b Rashid 36 (Pak 72-1)
England needed this.
Fakhar goes again but this time skies the ball a mile into the air. Tom Banton has to wait and wait before taking the catch smartly.
Pak 72-0published at 8.1 overs
A grimace from Adil Rashid as Fakhar pumps him high and long towards the nets. That's the first six.

Gregory, with a bit of a trundle in his approach, comes back nicely enough. He played with Babar at Somerset in the Blast last season, of course.

Seam bowling all-rounder Lewis Gregory is on...
He's crunched over mid-off straight away. England are being all around hit around Old Trafford!

But Rashid follows that beauty with one halfway down that Babar smacks for four. There's been at least one pie in every over so far.

My word! Adil Rashid has just turned one a mile. Babar missed it by a long, long way.

The majestic Adil Rashid is on. There's an appeal for lbw straight away but it was sliding down.

Ex-England captain on BBC OnePakistan will be pleased with the start. They have just timed the ball nicely and played pure cricket strokes. It's now up to one of these two to bat the 20 overs.

Eoin Morgan looks as calm as ever despite the bad start. He is blowing away on his hands again in an attempt to keep warm.
A leg-stump knee-high full toss is hit straight to the fielder, fortunately for Curran.
Morgan will be relieved to be able to send a few more fielders out at the end of the powerplay.

Runs, runs and more runs. I'm not sure it's quite where Fakhar aimed but he gets four down to third man from a lively Curran bouncer.

Sam Billings is wearing the brightest blue trainers. I'm no fashion expert but I'm not sure it goes with the red and navy kit.

Ex-England captain on BBC OneI don't think Morgan was expecting it to hoop and seam but I think he is confident he has a batting team that can chase down anything.
