Riaz to Woakes, leg byes, FOUR, optimistic shout for LBW, good length delivery angled in, Woakes misses the tickle, the ball runs away off the thigh pad past the keeper. Pakistan were busy appealing and the ball escapes for four. That was clearly missing the stumps
36.0 -
Yasir Shah to Woakes, FOUR, low full toss on the leg stump, Woakes whips it past the diving mid-wicket fielder. The umpire gives a friendly warning to Yasir Shah for stepping onto the danger area
26.1 -
Bilal Asif to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, now this IS short enough and has been dispatched. Never going to miss out on these is Morgan. Hammers the pull over mid-wicket
21.0 -
Bilal Asif to James Taylor, FOUR, just a step down the pitch and Bilal Asif bowled that right in the slot for the drive. The bowler was looking to toss it up nicely, but it went too full and Taylor was poweful with his drive to the left of mid-off
19.2 -
Riaz to James Taylor, FOUR, that's nicely punch-driven by Taylor. Overpitched outside off stump, Taylor leans forward and times it sweetly, it's in the gap between mid-off and extra-cover and it races away
18.4 -
Bilal Asif to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, now that is a top shot and excellent use of the depth of the crease. Allows the flatter delivery to come, waits and opens the face of the bat at the last moment to cut it late, sends it to the right of backward point, who had no chance
17.0 -
Bilal Asif to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, poor bowling from Bilal Asif, not a good first over but Eoin Morgan won't mind. Short and asking for trouble, Morgan rocks back, waits for the ball and pulls powerfully over mid-wicket to raise his 29th ODI fifty. Another good knock under pressure from the England captain
15.0 -
Shoaib Malik to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, strays short ever so slightly, that's enough for the English skipper who is in the middle of a resurgent spell in the ODIs. Jumps back in the crease and cuts it late to find the gap behind backward point
13.1 -
Yasir Shah to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, he plays this well, the reverse sweep. Drifting away outside off, nice loop and dip, Morgan's hands are quick, smashes it behind backward point and scurries off the turf into the ad cushions
9.4 -
Anwar Ali to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, let me tell you, this was no half-volley. Just a fraction full outside off, might have been the cutter, Morgan gets a good stride into the ball and creams the cover drive piercing the off-side field
9.1 -
Anwar Ali to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, down the track and bang! Last over of the first powerplay and Morgan looking to make use. Anwar Ali is medium pace at best so not much of a risk. Length ball angled across off, Morgan leaves enough room to swing his arms, and hammers it over mid-on on the up
8.2 -
Shoaib Malik to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, darted onto the pads, Morgan sinks low on one knee and shovels the sweep behind square. Rockets away to the fence
7.2 -
Anwar Ali to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, Morgan would have been very worried when he hit that. Goes threateningly in the air, and teasingly wide of a scrambling mid-wicket fielder. Back of a length delivery on leg, perhaps stops in the pitch due to which he was early into the tuck, scoops it up but wide of the outstretched hands of the fielder
5.5 -
Anwar Ali to James Taylor, FOUR, nice turn of the wrists. Fuller length delivery but erring in line, Taylor leans forward, meets it well in front of the body, not the ideal way to play. Where he did well was to roll the wrists on the ball to send it through along the turf through mid-wicket. Skims away
3.5 -
Anwar Ali to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, gets this one away! Similar line, similar length, Morgan wasn't going to miss out on this occasion. Crunches it in front of square and whistles away
3.0 -
Irfan to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, lobs up and just over the keeper. This is a very nervy start. Short of length on the body, Morgan was expecting this, but is through the pull too early. Catches him on the fore-arm and spoons over the leaping keeper. Umpire didn't spot it and gave runs
1.1 -
Anwar Ali to Hales, FOUR, full, too full. Hales leans into the drive, not much feet, cracks it straight of mid-on. The fielder gives chase but doesn't have a cat in a hell's chance on this outfield
28.2 -
Shoaib Malik to James Taylor, SIX, that is a great way to get to fifty. James Taylor gets a good round of applause from the dressing room, it's his 6th fifty in ODIs and he raises his bat to acknowledge the applause. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Taylor jumps out of the crease, gets to the pitch of the ball and muscles the loft over long-off
26.4 -
Bilal Asif to James Taylor, SIX, what an exhibition to play spin bowling from Taylor! Such light feet. Dances down making sure to get wide enough of the pitch, meets it with a full blooded swipe back over the bowler's head and into the sightscreen
49.4 -
Riaz to Topley, out Woakes Run Out!! That's the end of that. England finish with 216. Woakes actually played a handy knock to get them here. Tries to sneak in a bye after Topley missed, had to get on strike to be fair on him, just inches short of the crease after Sarfraz effects a direct-hit with an underarm effort. Woakes run out (Sarfraz Ahmed) 33(49) [4s-1]
48.3 -
Irfan to Willey, out Bowled!! Bingo! Actually was the most hittable ball of the over. Length and right in the slot to be whacked, Willey has an almighty heave at it, doesn't bounce as much as he thought, whizzes beneath the inside edge to clatter off-stump. Willey b Irfan 13(24)
40.3 -
Irfan to Adil Rashid, out Caught by (sub)Z Gohar!! That's a soft dismissal. Irfan bowls a fullish slower ball, Rashid mistimes the loft, the ball goes straight to the man at mid-on. Second wicket for Irfan. Adil Rashid c (sub)Z Gohar b Irfan 7(13)
35.4 -
Yasir Shah to Moeen Ali, out Caught by Babar Azam!! That's a stunning grab by the fielder at mid-wicket. First wicket for Yasir Shah. Short and spinning back in, Moeen Ali goes back and pulls well, but doesn't bother to keep it down, the fielder dives to his left, goes with both hands but it sticks in his left hand and he does well to hold on even while tumbling onto the ground. A dejected Moeen Ali walks back to the dressing room. Moeen Ali c Babar Azam b Yasir Shah 7(12)
34.1 -
Shoaib Malik to James Taylor, out Caught by Azhar Ali!! Now another set batsman falls. England have lost the plot. They have lost their last 3 wickets for just 10 runs. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Taylor advances and plays a gentle flick, he didn't go hard at it and it popped up, short mid-wicket dived forward to take a good low catch. A delighted Azhar Ali throws the ball up in joy. James Taylor c Azhar Ali b Shoaib Malik 60(82) [4s-3 6s-2]
31.0 -
Shoaib Malik to James Taylor, out Buttler Run Out!! Buttler is livid as he walks back to the dressing room. Turns back and looks at his partner while shaking his head. Flighted delivery on the leg stump, Taylor nudges it to the right of short mid-wicket, he calls for a quick single, but Buttler wasn't sure about the run, he responds but the fielder under-armed the throw adjacent to the stumps. The keeper collected and quickly disturbed the stumps. England have lost 2 wickets in the over. Buttler run out (Azhar Ali/Sarfraz Ahmed) 1(2)
30.3 -
Shoaib Malik to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Sarfraz Ahmed!! Now that's a massive wicket for Pakistan. Morgan has been dismissed against the run of play. End of a sensational 133-run stand. Flighted delivery pitching around off stump line and spinning away sharply, Morgan goes for the drive, but the sharp turn took the outside edge, which was neatly held by the keeper. The appeal was spontaneous and the finger went up. End of a handy knock from the England captain. Eoin Morgan c Sarfraz Ahmed b Shoaib Malik 76(96) [4s-11]
3.1 -
Anwar Ali to Hales, out Caught by Younis Khan!! My oh my! What on this good Earth is going on. It's pace doing all the damage. Back of a length delivery around the fifth stump line, did nothing off the deck, nothing that I could spot anyway. Hales rocks back and aims a firm punch through the covers, just played down the wrong line as simple as that. Gets a thick edge which dips to the left of Younis. The oldie has still got it, moves smartly, fumbles the first time but hangs on for dear life as it didn't pop up too far. Then a boyish smile after being mobbed by his mates. Hales c Younis Khan b Anwar Ali 10(7) [4s-1]
1.5 -
Anwar Ali to Root, out Lbw!! What a start this is. First Roy, and now the dangerous Joe Root. His reluctance to come forward ends up costing big time. A good length delivery pitching around off and jagging back a fair degree, Root was pinned on the crease aiming a push to mid-on with a straight bat, the movement beats the inside edge and hits the flap of the front pad. And England lose their sole review as well. Was more in hope rather than anything else. Not very smart. Root lbw b Anwar Ali 0(7)
0.2 -
Irfan to Jason Roy, out Bowled!! Boom. Irfan crashes timber with his second ball! And what a ball. Delivered on a good length and angled across from over the wicket, the ball pitches in line with middle and leg stump and straightens a shade, enough to go right through the gate of Roy who had committed on the drive, never in balance as he was on the walk. Goes on to knock over the top of off. Jason Roy b Irfan 0(2)
30.2 -
Shoaib Malik to James Taylor, 1 run, in the airrrrrr, oh dear the captain puts it down. This surely had to be taken. Pakistan needed to break this stand, but they've not taken the opportunity. Taylor advances and mistimes the loft high in the air, it went high in the air but no futher than mid-wicket, three fielders were converging but Azhar Ali went for it, he never looked comfortable and in the end didn't even get a hand to it running back from mid-wicket
45.4 -
Riaz to Woakes, 1 run, Woakes had given up and would have been on his bike with a direct hit! Pushed to cover and sets off, the fielder collects and shies at the non-striker's end but can't hit bull's eye
24.4 -
Irfan to Eoin Morgan, wide, the 100-run stand is brought up with an innocuous wide down leg.
