  1. Pak 148-5published at 18.3 overs

    Better from Sam Curran.

    A slower ball deceives Khushdil Shah and dribbles through to Phil Salt.

  2. 6 runs

    Pak 147-5published at 18.1 overs

    A thigh-high full toss from Sam Curran and Iftikhar Ahmed gives it the treatment it deserves by spanking it over the square-leg boundary.

    Dreadful ball, top shot.

    England have done really well in this second part of the innings.

  4. Pak 141-5published at 18 overs

    Four singles and a dot follows that maiden wicket from Luke Wood.

    The dot was a perfectly executed yorker that Iftikhar Ahmed has to dig out. Wood's yorker is very good. He's looked pretty at home on his debut so far.

    Wood has a wicket on his T20 debut and he's silenced the crowd at the national stadium in Karachi.

    Nawaz b L Wood 4 (Pak 137-5)

    A first international wicket for Luke Wood!

    It's a good one too, ripping off stump out of the ground as Mohammad Nawaz looks to hit back down the ground.

    Wood runs into the off-side, does a huge fist pump and let's out an almighty roar. He enjoyed that.

  7. Pak 137-4published at 17 overs

    Four singles and two wides come off the remainder of the over.

    David Willey finishes with figures of 0-41 from his four overs.

    Three overs remain. What will Pakistan be targeting? 170 minimum, surely?

    Iftikhar receives the ball and lashes it towards the dugout.

  9. 6 runs

    Pak 131-4published at 16.2 overs

    Shottt!

    Stand and deliver from Iftikhar Ahmed as he pings David Willey back over his head for the third six of the innings.

    Will that be a momentum turner?

    Three quick wickets have really helped England.

    A terrific effort in the deep to get the throw back in by Luke Wood.

  12. Pak 125-4published at 16 overs

    How has that not hit? Mohammad Nawaz looks to defend his first ball but a thin inside edge goes just past leg stump and away for a couple.

    That's brilliant fielding. England have been very good in the field so far. This time it is Luke Wood as he gets across and flicks up for a mate to throw in. Just two added.

    It's Masood that has to go with seven on his debut.

    WICKETpublished at 15.1 overs

    Masood c Gleeson b Rashid 7 (Pak 120-4)

    Another one!

    Debutant Shan Masood goes for the reverse sweep but he cloths it. Richard Gleeson doesn't have to move at short third, he just has to stand there, compose himself, and take a routine catch.

    England have taken three wickets in 12 balls. Are they now on top?

  15. Pak 120-3published at 15 overs

    Hello! There's an appeal for a stumping off Iftikhar Ahmed's first ball. Phil Salt is pretty confident shouting "yeaaaaaa" and he's still going "I think he's out, you've got to look at it at least".

    But the umpires decided that the ball was dead because Salt waited a second or so before whipping the bails off, and Aleem Dar had called a wide in that time.

    A really classic Rizwan innings. Using his wrist and manoeuvring the ball around the field.

    A third wicket falls and it's a big one! Just the wicket England would've wanted.

    Rizwan st Salt b Moeen 68 (Pak 117-3)

    Oh, lovely bowling.

    Quicker and flatter from Moeen Ali and Mohammad Rizwan dances past it. The ball goes between bat and pad but Phil Salt settles himself behind the stumps, cleanly gathers the ball and whips off the bails.

    Two wickets in seven balls for England. The squeeze is on.

    Rizwan showing his class here. I bowl a pretty mean slower ball yorker... I'm trying to figure out if Rizwan would be able to pick it!

    Debutant Shan Masood is the new batter. He has scored an absolute bucketload of runs for Derbyshire this summer, but that was opening the batting. How will he fare at four?

    England are doing well at the moment. At one stage 200 definitely felt on. Now they will definitely want to restrict the hosts to less than 180.
