Pak 190-0published at 18.4 overs
Nearly a superb yorker from Luke Wood but Babar Azam has got back his bat underneath and it and slots it into the gap wide of mid-on for four, before taking a single of the next ball to catch his breath.
Mohammad Rizwan takes over and smacks Wood back over his head for another four.
14 off nine balls needed.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorA fine innings from Babar Azam, his second hundred. He's taken Pakistan to the verge of victory.
Babar Azam centurypublished at 17.5 overs
The first Pakistan player to make two hundreds in T20 internationals. A magnificent knock. He brings up the ton with a little dab to cover off Sam Curran.
Classy innings from a classy player.
Pak 177-0published at 17.3 vers
Sam Curran knocked down the ground by Babar Azam for a single. He's 99 off 61 balls.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThey really are majestic players aren't they? They have not really given England a sniff here. There was one chance Rizwan gave to Hales which he dropped. Since then it's been majestic.
Pak 176-0published at 17.0 overs
David Willey is whacked down to cow corner by Babar Azam where Sam Curran is stationed. At 5ft 9in he's not quite tall enough to take a spectacular one-handed catch on the rope and tips it over for six.
Babar on 98 now. The crowd are at fever pitch.

Robin: No better opening partnership in the world than this. On their day Pakistan can beat absolutely anyone.

Pak 164-0published at 16.0 overs
Penny for Alex Hales' thoughts? He dropped Mohammad Rizwan earlier, lest we forget.
Luke Wood keeps his lines well for four balls, but Babar Azam picks up a slower ball from his final delivery and hauls it the boundary at long-on.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorPakistan are romping to victory with these two scintillating players at the top of the order.
Pak 156-0published at 15.1 overs
A shot which oozes class from Babar Azam, who late drives Luke Wood to the boundary through point. England had stacked that area, but Babar just arrows it through.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEvery time you think Pakistan think might be falling behind the rate, they come up with a flurry of fours and sixes. It's been outstanding so far.
