Dream start for Pakistan. A fine half-century in the last game, but nothing for Phil Salt in this one. Skipper Harry Brook walks out to bat at number 3.

Shaheen Afridi to Phil Salt
OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Benched for a couple of games, Shaheen provides a perfect start for Pakistan. He hits the hard length, around off, and gets the ball to angle away from the right-hander with a gentle outswing. Phil Salt stays put, tries to punch it away through the off side, but gets a faint edge behind to the keeper. Usman Khan gathers a simple, straightforward catch. England are 0/1 as Salt goes for a golden duck.
