Pakistan vs England, 1st T20I Highlights: Alex Hales' Fifty Guides England To 6-Wicket Win Over Pakistan

The chase is set to begin. Pakistan players stride out to the middle. Followed by Philip Salt and Alex Hales who walk out to open for England. Naseem Shah to start with the new ball.

... The Run Chase ...

Now the target is a tricky one, there is turn and grip in the surface but the boundaris are small. England need to make use of the new ball, if they do manage to score against that, it could get a lot easier for them to chase this down. If that does not happen, it could be a tough chase for them.

For England, their bowlers did not adjust to the conditions first up but as the game progressed, they understood what to bowl here. A lot of off pace deliveries were delivered and they made it run-scoring tough. Luke Wood was brilliant and so was Rashid. Willey and Curran came back strongly later on and Richard Gleeson and Moeen Ali did well too.

Coming to what happened now, the start was excellent for Pakistan. The openers really enjoyed batting against the new ball and they added 85. Rizwan was the aggressor and Azam played along his merry way. Once the skipper fell, runs were hard to come by. Only Rizwan managed to score freely but the rest really struggled. Iftikhar Ahmed did strike a few meaty blows but Pakistan did not get the finish they would have liked.

That is a terrific comeback from England you can see, they are pretty happy as they walk off! Pakistan just could not get going in the second half and they only managed around 70 runs in the last 10 overs. Now that could either mean, the wicket just got slower or Pakistan batted really poorly. However, they do have a score on the board so we could be in for an exciting second half.
