'Madness from Phil Salt': Twitter reacts to England's dominant series-leveling win over Pakistan in 6th T20I

After a couple of nerve-wracking thrillers, the Pakistan-England Twenty20 International series went back to the one-sided results as the visitors strolled to an eight-wicket win in Lahore on Friday.

The English top-order proved unstoppable on the day with opener Phil Salt smashing an unbeaten 88 off just 41 deliveries as the Moeen Ali-led side won with more than five overs to spare, levelling the seven-match series 3-3. Salt’s effort eclipsed Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s unbeaten 87, which helped the home team recover from a shaky start and post a competitive 169/6 on the board.

Besides Salt, Alex Hales (27), Dawid Malan (26) and Ben Duckett (26 not out) chipped in with valuable contributions as the visitors were in complete control throughout the chase, not giving the Pakistanis any room to mount a comeback.

The two teams head to Sunday’s decider, which will be the third game to be hosted at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium as well as the final match of England’s tour — their first trip to Pakistan in 17 years.

The match did garner plenty of interesting reactions on social media, including praise for both Salt and Babar. We take a look at some of the most interesting ones here:
