    Peter_Kirby: Great to see LIVE international cricket on the BBC once again. I enjoyed it earlier this summer and I'm enjoying it again. Keep up the excellent coverage.

  2. Pak 35-0published at 4 overs

    Rizwan 20, Babar 14

    Good response from Mahmood - two singles and a dot ball.

    It was uppish but he picked the gap. Babar sees it so early.

  4. Pak 33-0published at 3.3 overs

    Babar Azam judges length so well. Saqib Mahmood sends it down just a tad short, not much, but enough for Babar to pounce and clatter it past mid-on for four.

    Stephan Shemilt informs me England have never failed to defend a score in excess of 200.

    Saqib Mahmood, the stand-out bowler from the recent ODI series, enters the attack.

    This game will come down to how Pakistan play the leg-spinners, Rashid and Parkinson.

    Pakistan got away with that one.

  8. Pak 29-0published at 3 overs

    Target 201

    Curran keeps it tighter and creates a chance as Babar spoons one up but short of deep mid-wicket.

    Still an expensive over - 10 from it.

    The key is early wickets. If Pakistan get through this powerplay losing one or maybe two, this game is massively in their favour.

  10. Pak 24-0published at 2.2 overs

    A long delay as Dickie Bird of all people is moving behind the bowler's arm and Mohammad Rizwan isn't happy.

    Finally Tom Curran begins. And Rizwan taps it away for a single.

    Oh. Babar Azam, come on down. Short and asking to be hit so Babar duly cracks it through mid-wicket for four.

    Tom Curran enters the fray. Key day with the ball for him.

    Mohammad Rizwan averages more than 100 in this format in the calendar year.

    This is how England fell one ball short of batting their 20 overs...

    Pakistan will be happy.

  15. Pak 19-0published at 2 overs

    Streaky, but four more. Rizwan toe-ends it through third man to the fence.

    Jordan errs again and concedes a wide before Rizwan picks up a single to finish.

    Excellent start from the tourists.

  16. 6 runs

    Pak 13-0published at 1.2 overs

    Not there, Chris Jordan.

    Not dissimilar from the six that Jordan hit - the bowling erring down leg and the batter Mohammad Rizwan shunting it round the corner with enough power to clear the fence.

    Here's a bit of the sublime...

    Well, that innings included the sublime and the ridiculous. But has anyone ever hit a cricket ball further that that six from Liam Livingstone? Wow!!! Par score for me, this could be a classic.

    Mystic Mitch.

    Straight down the ground - you've got to love it.

  20. Pak 7-0published at 1 over

    Target 201

    Adil Rashid to bowl the first over for England - and Mohammad Rizwan greets him with a mash down the ground for four.
