Saqlain Mushtaq was talking to the Pakistan players at the drinks break. Graeme Swann tells a good story of when Saqlain was England spin coach. Swann would seek Saqlain's advice when he wasn't bowling well and Saqlain would say 'Swanny, the sun is shining, you have a breautiful family, you're playing cricket for your country, what does it matter?'... and Swann said he always felt better afterwards.

Joe: England have heard the criticism about going too gung-ho in T20 cricket... and chosen to completely ignore it.

Ben Duckett is next in. He's in sparkling form at the moment.

It feels like a consolation wicket at this point.

That was very out!

Malan lbw b Shadab 26 (Eng 128-2)
Three reds and Malan has to go.
He falls for a cheeky 26-run cameo.

It looked pretty straight from me - hitting leg stump, a third of the way up.
Umpire reviewpublished at 9.2 overs
Malan's given out lbw. This looks plumb but he goes upstairs.

This has turned into a cakewalk. England have put Pakistan under pressure and, crucially, have kept them under pressure.
Eng 128-1published at 9 overs
Salt 74, Malan 26
A swing and a miss to finish.
England have Pakistan in their sights already.

This is remarkable hitting.

A bit of luck for Phil Salt who top-edges a bouncer over the keeper for four more.
