Reece Topley to Iftikhar Ahmed
SIX BANG! This has gone many a mile! Just the over Pakistan were after, 16 runs off it so far. Length delivery, angling away, on off, Iftikhar Ahmed walks across and gets into a good position. Smacks across the line and clears deep square leg for a biggie.
15.6
W
Reece Topley to Iftikhar Ahmed
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Chris Jordan makes it look so, so easy and this is a body blow to Pakistan. Reece Topley fights back in grand style after not-so-great first five balls of the over. Topley stays over the wicket and goes fuller this time, on off, Iftikhar Ahmed goes deep in his crease and targets the straight boundary. Gets more height than distance and it goes way high in the air towards long on. Chris Jordan runs in off the ropes and steadies himself under the skier. Almost overruns it but recovers well to settle under it and completes the catch.

16.5

Chris Jordan to Imad Wasim
Well bowled! Sees the batter make an early shuffle towards the off side does Jordan and slips in another well-executed yorker, near the tramline on off, Imad Wasim can only squeeze it out to cover for the fifth single of the over.
16.6

Chris Jordan to Shaheen Afridi
Make that six singles off the over. Brilliant exhibition of death bowling by Jordan. Lands it on a yorker length, angling away, on off, Shaheen Afridi jams it out in front of cover for one. Pakistan need 38 runs off the last 3 overs.

Jofra Archer to Imad Wasim
OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE MAN IN THE DEEP! Imad Wasim departs and with him, down go the hopes of Pakistan. This has been some comeback from Archer after going for 15 runs in his first over. Nails the yorker, on off and middle, Imad Wasim takes it on the full and hits it well. However, he picks out the man in the deep as he sends it straight to deep cover where Will Jacks takes it near his chest.

Chris Jordan to Shaheen Afridi
 Given LBW but Shaheen Afridi successfully overturns it! A loud shout and up goes the finger! Shaheen Afridi missed a straight delivery and had no hesitation in raising the finger. The impact might save Shaheen there. And yes, as expected, the Ball Tracking shows the impact to be outside leg. It was a full toss, angling in at the pads, Shaheen Afridi backed away to go across the line but missed to get hit low on the front pad.

Chris Jordan to Shaheen Afridi
Jordan continues to nail his yorkers! Sees Shaheen Afridi move to the off side does Jordan but holds his line and length, on a yorker length, wide on off, Shaheen Afridi shapes up for the scoop and does get some bat on it. The ball dribbles towards short fine leg and they scamper across for one.
18.3

Chris Jordan to Mohammad Amir
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! This has been a death bowling masterclass and it has been the slower ball that has done the trick for Chris Jordan. Jordan pulls his length back slightly and attacks the stumps this time. Mohammad Amir fails to pick the change of pace and gets inside the line to scoop it fine on the leg side. He gets undone by the lack of pace and gets his woodwork shattered.

Chris Jordan to Haris Rauf
Superb effort in the deep by Archer. Another searing yorker, on middle, Haris Rauf clears his front leg and takes it on the full. Tonks it to the left of long on where Jofra Archer covers good ground and tumbles to save a couple of runs for his side.

Chris Jordan to Haris Rauf
This is on a short of a length and with no real pace on it, Haris Rauf is through his shot early and toe-ends the shot to backward point for one.
18.6

Chris Jordan to Shaheen Afridi
Delivers a low full toss, on off, Shaheen Afridi digs it out down the ground to long off for only a single. Just 18 runs have come off the last three overs. This has been excellent death bowling from England.

Reece Topley to Shaheen Afridi
Topley bowls it from over the wicket and goes full, at the batter, Shaheen Afridi swipes it off the inner half of the bat in front of deep mid-wicket and collects a couple of runs.

Reece Topley to Shaheen Afridi
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! All over for Pakistan! England win by 23 runs and go 1-0 up in the series! Topley slants this one back into the left-hander, on a length, on middle and leg, Shaheen Afridi backs away and goes for a heave across the line. Hits it towards the longer square boundary and fails to get the distance. Skies it towards deep mid-wicket where Phil Salt sprints across to his right and slides to grab it near his chest. Topley ends with 3 wickets to his name.
