15.4 OUT! LBW! Jamie Overton provides a breakthrough worth gold for England and he lets out a huge roar as well. Overton bluffs the batter by firing in a full ball, on middle, and it nips back in just a touch from the pitch. Sahibzada Farhan shuffles across off to flick it to the leg side, but ends up playing all around it. The ball beats the inside edge and raps on the front pad. A massive, confident appeal for LBW and up goes the finger instantly. Sahibzada Farhan is not so confident but takes a review in hope. This looks dead-straight and only an edge can save Farhan here. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Ball Tracking confirms three reds, with the ball crashing into middle and leg. Pakistan burn a review, but more importantly, they lose Sahibzada Farhan at a very crucial time. Pakistan are 122/4. 122/4

2.1 OUT! TAKEN! Jofra Archer draws first blood. He bangs in a well-directed bouncer, on off, angling away off the pitch. Saim Ayub gets his front leg up in the air to play the pull shot but gets into an awkward position due to extra bounce. The ball gets big on him and takes the top edge of the bat. It flies in the air towards deep square leg, where Jacob Bethell runs forward off the ropes, gets down on one knee and takes a good catch. Archer brings out his 'C' celebration and Ayub's lean patch in the World Cup continues. Pakistan are 14/1 after 2.1 overs. 14/1

| Salman Agha C | 5 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 83.33 |
|
3.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Liam Dawson strikes in his first over. He slows it up, full and on off. Salman Agha uses his feet to go inside-out over covers, but the ball does not spin much. He ends up hitting it from the bottom half of the bat and much straighter towards long off. Jamie Overton runs forward and takes an excellent sliding catch inches above the ground. Pakistan are 27/2 now. 27/2

| Babar Azam | 25 | 24 | 2 | 0 | 104.16 |
|
10.5 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! The pressure was building on Babar Azam and he has to go back now after a scratchy knock. This is a cross-seam delivery on a good length and it jags back in on middle and off. Babar clears his front leg and has a wild hoick across the line. Not a good looking shot as he completely misses the ball as well, and it goes through and hits the top of off. The 46-run stand has been broken now. Pakistan are 73/3. 73/3

| Fakhar Zaman | 25 | 16 | 2 | 2 | 156.25 |
|
16.3 OUT! HIGH UP AND GONE! Adil finally gets a wicket to his name as well and England are pulling things back nicely toward the backend. Rashid dishes out another wrong 'un, full and on middle, with some bounce too. Fakhar Zaman attempts the pre-meditated slog sweep, but gets a thick top edge. The ball spoons up and over backward square leg. Liam Dawson backtracks, keeps his eyes locked in on the ball and takes a fine catch as he takes a tumble after that. From 122/3, Pakistan slip down to 132/5. 132/5

| Shadab Khan | 23 | 11 | 4 | 0 | 209.09 |
|
20 OUT! SHADAB KHAN IS RUN OUT! A low full toss on middle at 133.3 kph. Shadab stays deep in his crease and whips it towards deep mid-wicket, immediately calling for two and sprinting back. But Bethell moves swiftly to his left in the outfield, gathers cleanly and fires it in to the keeper, where Buttler collects the ball standing beside the stumps and dislodges the bails in time. Shadab is clearly out by a country mile, but he had to go for it. 10 from the final over. PAKISTAN FINISH AT 164/9! 164/9

| Usman Khan Wk | 8 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 160 |
|
17.4 OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number 2 for Dawson. Tossed up, full and around off. Usman gets low, looking to drag it into the leg side with a slog sweep, but ends up playing against the turn. He miscues it towards deep mid-wicket, losing balance, shape and control in the process. Overton stays put and takes a simple catch above his shoulders. 122/3 becomes 146/6 for Pakistan. 146/6

| Mohammad Nawaz | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
17.5 OUT! LBW! Two in two for Liam Dawson. He fires in a yorker, on middle and leg, skids through. Mohammad Nawaz is not expecting that, sits deep inside his crease and tries to swipe it away. He fails to get his bat down in line with the ball quickly enough and gets hit on the front pad right in front of the stumps. There is a shout for LBW, and the finger goes up. However, Nawaz takes the review but more in hope. UltraEdge confirms no bat is involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, with the ball hitting the middle and leg stumps. Dawson will be on a hat-trick now. 146/7

| Shaheen Afridi | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
18.3 OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Archer continues to chip away at the wickets. He hurls in a slower length ball, on middle, slanting in. Shaheen Afridi is through the pull shot a fraction early and mistimes it in the air off the inner half towards deep backward square leg. Sam Curran is not the tallest of the fielders in the ground, and he times his leap to perfection to take the catch. He then shows good awareness to balance up to prevent himself from tripping over the ropes. 149/8

0.1 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 plays it away from the body, and gets a faint edge behind to the keeper. Usman Khan grabs a fine catch, diving to his right. England are 0/1 as Salt goes for a golden duck. 0/1

| Jos Buttler Wk | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
2.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another early exit for Buttler and Shaheen has removed both the English openers inside the first three overs. Afridi slams the deck hard, keeping the line of attack outside off. But it does not rise enough as Jos expects it to. He tries to square cut it to the off side, but gets an under edge due to lack of bounce as the ball carries behind to the keeper. Usman Khan pouches a safe catch, diving forward. England are rocked early at 17/2, chasing 165. 17/2

| Harry Brook C | 100 | 51 | 10 | 4 | 196.07 |

17 OUT! CASTLED! Hundred and out for Harry Brook. Shaheen Afridi nails the yorker this time, on middle. Harry Brook backs away and tries to open the face of his bat to guide it away but fails to get it down in time. The ball goes through and hits the base of the middle stump. Brook is frustrated as he cannot stay till the end. Gets a pat on the back from Shaheen and a big applause from the crowd as well. Fourth wicket for Shaheen and England are 155/6. 155/6

4.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Farhan with an absolutely stunning catch. Shaheen gets his third wicket. He bangs it short, on top of middle. Jacob Bethell gets a bit tucked up for space but goes through for the pull shot. Mistimes it in the air to deep square leg. Sahibzada Farhan covers good ground to his right in the outfield and takes a superb catch by diving. England are 35/3, needing 130 more off 91 balls. 35/3

7.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Usman Tariq strikes gold with his very first delivery. He bowls a wrong'un, short and just around off, holds up in the surface a bit. Tom Banton makes room and goes for the cut but only manages a slight nick behind, where Usman Khan takes a sharp catch, his third of the match so far. England are 58/4, still needing 107 runs in 77 balls. 58/4

| Sam Curran | 16 | 15 | 1 | 0 | 106.66 |
|
11.5 OUT! FLATLY HIT AND TAKEN! Curran couldn't have picked a fielder any better in the outfield. Tariq's magic continues with the ball as he picks up his second and his 10th wicket in this T20 World Cup. On a lower trajectory, short and on middle and leg. Sam Curran gets crouched a bit and goes for a pull shot, but cannot find the correct timing on that one. Hits it flatly towards deep mid-wicket, where Mohammad Nawaz gets a simple catching practice. Usman breaks the 45-run partnership as England are 103/5, chasing 165. 103/5

| Will Jacks | 28 | 23 | 1 | 2 | 121.73 |

18.1 OUT! TIMBER! Mohammad Nawaz gets a wicket but it is too little too late for Pakistan. He bowls this slower through the air, shortish and on middle, angling in. Will Jacks moves to the leg side to make room and go over covers, but plays all over it. The ball goes through and hits the top of the leg stump. England are 160/7, needing 5 more from 11 balls. 160/7

18.5 OUT! STUMPED! Is there a twist still left in the tale? Mohammad Nawaz gives this one some more air, full and on off, lures the batter. Jamie Overton skips down the track to go for the glory shot but gets beaten on the flight, and Usman Khan behind the stumps does the rest. England are 161/8, still needing 4 runs in 7 balls. 161/8
