    You do know he's rated as the best T20 international batsman in the world, Ewan?

    Just checking.

    Ewan: Question for England selectors: how many scores of 1 off 5 or similar will Malan have to get before Salt is given his spot? This is getting ridiculous.

  3. Eng 28-2published at 3.3 overs

    Jos Buttler with timing that would make a metronome jealous. Four through point.

    Moeen is wearing some orange and yellow spikes. They remind me of Refresher sweets.

    This is an important time for Moeen Ali ahead of the World T20 later this year. He, Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone all need to take their chances to impress Eoin Morgan.

  7. Eng 23-2published at 3 overs

    Moeen Ali is the new man, watching as Jos Buttler plays another of those beautiful cover drives. Buttler has 10 from eight balls.

    The ball was there to sweep but Malan wasn't in the right position. Another top edge for England and a simple catch.

    It's the right shot but the wrong execution.

    Malan c Azam Khan b Imad 1 (Eng 18-2)

    Hmmmm.

    Not good, this.

    Dawid Malan is looking for the slog sweep against Imad Wasim, but only gets a top edge, possibly off his helmet.

    The ball goes straight up, into the hands of Azam Khan, who comes in from short third man.

    Not a great start.

    Paul B: The poor umpires. Back in the day they would have been stood there in lovely white coats and hats that would reflect heat. Today, let's suck all the heat in during a heatwave with all black whilst they have to stand out there for the whole game!

    The side-on view of Shaheen running in has the crowd in the background as nothing but a blur. It's like looking out of the window of the car when you're driving on the motorway.

    That's poetry. Jos Buttler just leans on that. Beautiful timing.

    There's a dog in the stands! Lovely stuff. Black labrador, I think.

    There was some movement behind the bowler's arm, so I hope the pooch wasn't to blame.

    In other news, Jos Buttler has played a superb cover drive for four.

    I reckon Pakistan have chosen to bowl first because they think the pitch won't deteriorate.

    Shaheen Shah Afridi shares the new ball. He was superb the other night, taking 3-30. He's being roared to the crease in Leeds...

    I'm a bit surprised Pakistan chose to bat first after what happened in the last game but sometimes you do prefer to see what the surface is like and how to pace your chase.

  19. Eng 11-1published at 1 over

    Dawid Malan is the new batter, at the non-striker's end as Buttler faces the final two balls of the over.

    It's all going on. We've had a six, a four and a wicket.
