    Salman reaches his half-century, which he acknowledges with a cursory wave of the bat. It's not a big celebration.

    Pak 174-7

    David Willey is chugging in, blond hair bobbing. Shaheen Afridi, tallest man in the match, carefully clips one off his toes for a single. Salman Agha gets the two that takes him to 50. It's sedate stuff.

    Jos Buttler is turning to David Willey in his last England game. He's got 99 ODI wickets.

    Can he get his 100th? It'd be great if he can.

    It's true. I do love oatcakes. How they haven't spread further than North Staffordshire, I don't know. In fact, an oatcake stand an a fancy pants London artisan market would clean up. Business idea...

    That's drinks.

    The wise words of the oatcake and hummus-loving Stephan Shemilt to see this to a finish.

    England's spinners are slowly turning the screw at Eden Gardens.

    The balance you have to find as a team is between laying a platform and not leaving yourself too much to do.

    Pakistan could have done with a couple more wickets in hand.

    That's the way Pakistan have got to play. You might as well play your shots.

  10. Pak 168-7published at 33 overs

    Agha Salman has decided to make a bit of a go of it.

    He smashes Moeen Ali over long on for six to get the crowd on their feet, then follows it up a couple of balls later with a thick edge down through third for four.

    Shaheen Afridi felt that was in his hitting arc. He's a big man and it's quite a big arc!

  12. 6 runs

    Pak 156-7published at 32 overs

    Shaheen Afridi is not running for this.

    Adil Rashid gives it a bit of air and the Pakstan batter goes down on knee and wallops him into the stands for six. Not a bad way to get off the mark.

    It feels like a completely hopeless task for Pakistan now. It is a matter of when.

    That's a brilliant delivery. You knew the googly was coming at some point.

    Nicely tossed up outside off stump, inviting the drive but then creating the gap between the bat and pad. Excellent, excellent bowling.

    Shadab b Rashid 4 (Pak 150-7)

    Shadab Khan gets off the mark against Moeen Ali with a four, but has at the crease for a good time rather than a long time.

    Another googly from Adil Rashid brings a huge waft from Shadab and he is bowled through the gate.

    Seven down.

    There is no point sticking around until the 50th over, you're not going to gain anything from it.

    Intent has always been the problem for Pakistan, not just today, in the whole tournament.

    That's a very good catch from Dawid Malan. It's not a spectacular catch but those are not easy.

    Iftikhar c Malan b Moeen 3 (Pak 145-5)

    Iftikhar Ahmed attempts to up the ante against Moeen Ali but ends up whacking a slog up in the air with a leading edge.

    Dawid Malan is prowling in the covers and takes a fine tumbling catch above his head. Iftikhar whacks his pad in frustration as he trudges off.

    England are closing this out.

  19. Pak 141-5published at 30 overs

    Target 338

    The lime green palms of Jos Buttler's wicketkeeping gloves direct England's fielders into place after the first ball of Adil Rashid's seventh over is powerfully swept by Agha Salman to the square leg boundary.

    Salman skips down the pitch later in the over and elegantly chips Rashid to the boundary through mid-wicket.

  20. Pak 131-5published at 29 overs

    Agha Salman has decided to sweep and reverse sweep Moeen Ali.

    He picks up four off the first ball of the over with a powerful reverse through third, but is unable to repeat the trick off the fourth ball and spoons it up but it is well short of the fielder.
