Full delivery outside off, Dawid works this towards mid off for a single.

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
WIDE! That doesn't look like a wide but the umpire signals it as one. A full length delivery way outside off, left alone. It was just within the tramline for us but the umpire felt otherwise.

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
SIX! FIFTY FOR MORGAN! Morgan says, if Babar can score a fifty, so can I! This was a full toss around off, Morgan casually flicks this on the up over the mid-wicket fence and it is a maximum! Great batting by the skipper here, a captain's knock indeed, but Morgan will know that the job is not done here!

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
Close to a run out but Shaheen misses! On a good length outside off, Morgan looks to play at that but it takes an inside edge and it comes off his pads and falls near the crease. Morgan looks for the single but Malan sends him back and he dives as Shaheen kicks the ball towards the stumps at the striker's end but misses the target!

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
FOUR! On a good length around middle and off, Morgan pulls this hard towards the deep square leg area and the pace of the ball plus the shot means that the fielder there cannot stop this one. Morgan doing for England what Hafeez did for Pakistan earlier, with the bat!

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
FOUR! Second one in a row for the skipper! On a full length outside off, Morgan just lifts this over the cover region and the ball races away to the fence. Game changing innings from the skipper!

Shaheen Afridi to Eoin Morgan
FOUR! THIRD ONE IN A ROW! Not intended but the skipper will accept that gracefully! This is a full toss outside off, Morgan looks to cut that but it comes off his outside edge and races past Rizwan, straight into the fence near long stop. What an over for the hosts! 20 runs off it, England looking set to take the game here.

Imad Wasim to Dawid Malan
Flatter ball around off, Malan gives room but is only able to hit it back to Imad.

Imad Wasim to Eoin Morgan
Another easy single. Full and around off, the skipper taps this to backward point and takes a quick single.

Imad Wasim to Dawid Malan
FOUR! Brilliant shot, just gives himself some room and picked the gap nicely. Flat and outside off, Malan gives room as usual and cuts it through point for a boundary.

Imad Wasim to Dawid Malan
FOUR! Second one in a row. Malan is looking brilliant here. Exceptional! Flights this full outside off, Wasim. Malan goes inside out over extra cover and picks up a boundary. The sweeper cover fielder comes running in but cannot contain that.

Imad Wasim to Dawid Malan
A wrisy flick from Malan for a single. Another excellent over for England, 11 off it.

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan
FOUR! Malan enters the party along with Morgan now! On a good length around middle and leg, Dawid pulls this hard towards the deep-mid wicket area and it will cross the fence with ease. England should see out this match now!

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan
Good length ball around the pads, Malan looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. The ball rolls over behind to Rizwan.

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan
Slower one bowled short around off, Malan is in two minds but doesn't take a poke at this one.

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan

Haris Rauf to Eoin Morgan
OUT! CAUGHT! Morgan has to depart here but he leaves not after damaging Pakistan's chances of winning this tie. What an innings by the skipper, scoring 66 off just 33 balls! This is on a good length around middle and off, Morgan looks to slog-sweep this one out the park as well but his timing is not quite right here as the shot played goes straight into the hands of the fielder there at deep fine leg. Morgan will be disappointed that could not finish off the game but he has done enough for the rest of the batsmen to take the game home!

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan
BEATEN! On a good length outside off, Malan looks to play at that but misses it and Rizwan pouches that one. Good over for Pakistan, 5 runs and a wicket off it!

Shadab Khan to Moeen Ali
In the air but drops short! Shadab flights this outside off, Moeen goes uppishly wide of long on. The fielder there comes towards the ball but it still falls short. Just a single.

Shadab Khan to Dawid Malan
On middle, Dawid punches on his backfoot to mid-wicket and gets a couple.

Shadab Khan to Dawid Malan
Slower in the air on middle, Dawid gently reverse sweeps this to the off side. Just a single though.

Shadab Khan to Moeen Ali
OUT! CAUGHT! Shadab has his third. A rather lazy shot from Moeen Ali, especially in these circumstances. Are Pakistan still in the hunt? Looks so. Coming to the delivery, it was flatter on the stumps, Moeen does not middle that well as he looked to pull that rather lazily. It went straight to the skipper, Babar Azam, at mid-wicket. He takes a simple catch and another wicket falls quickly after Morgan departed earlier.

Shadab Khan to Sam Billings
Billings is off the mark. Pushes this fuller one to long off and crosses over for a single.

Haris Rauf to Dawid Malan
FIFTY FOR MALAN! Yorker around middle, worked towards deep point for a single. Malan had supported his skipper really well and later came of his own as well. Can he pull the match through for the hosts now?

Haris Rauf to Sam Billings
FOUR! 5 required now! A short length ball around off, Sam scoops this behind the left of the wicket-keeper and it races away to the boundary near long stop!

Haris Rauf to Sam Billings
FOUR! 1 RUN NOW REQUIRED! On a full length around off, Sam smashes this down the pitch straight through the fielder at mid on and into the fence! The game is surely done now!

Haris Rauf to Sam Billings
OUT! CAUGHT! One run required and England loses another wicket! Can you believe this? Short ball outside off, Sam cuts this one fine towards backward point but this one goes straight into the hands of the fielder who doesn't drop this! England will have to get into the final over of this match to finish this, itseems!

Shaheen Afridi to Dawid Malan
FOUR! That will do nicely. England take it to the last over but finish it on the first delivery itself. Low full toss outside off, Malan creams this through point for a four. He moves on to 54 off 36 balls. England win by 5 wickets.
