PAK vs ENG 7th T20I, LIVE Score and Updates: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan dismissed early, Pakistan 18/2 after 3 overs

22:13 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

That Babar Azam wicket delivery was 116 kmph. All the earlier deliveries by Woakes were around 135 kmph. Absolutely foxed the Pakistan skipper with that slower delivery and the short extra-cover in place.

22:11 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Iftikhar Ahmed ends the second over with a four. The ball was drifting down the leg side and the batter swivels it easily towards the fine leg boundary.

22:10 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Mohammad Rizwan out:

Mohammad Rizwan has been rumbled by an absolute beauty by Reece Topley. Almost a yorker that, Rizwan didn't know how to play and only finds his stumps rattled. The Pakistan openers have been dismissed for a poultry score of five runs. Is that the match for England, or the middle order will step up tonight? Mohammad Rizwan 1(4) b Topley

22:06 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Babar Azam out:

Pakistan have lost their skipper. A forgetful day for Babar Azam as he is dismissed for four runs - a very soft dismissal indeed. A full length delivery, welcoming the batter to drive. But England had placed a fielder at short extra-cover and he gets an easy catch. Babar Azam 4(4) c Harry Brook b Woakes

22:03 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Babar Azam has the first boundary of the innings. A full-length delivery on the pads and Babar glances it beautifully through the on-side through the mid-wicket.

22:00 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Update:

Some movement behind the sight screen and Rizwan is not happy with it. Stops Woakes in his run-up on the first ball itself.

21:56 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Update:

Pakistan dropped multiple Dawid Malan catches and he has made full use of it. Pakistan need 210 runs to win and if they chase it down, it will be the highest chase at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

England openers had a blistering start but lost their way soon after the third over in the powerplay itself. Malan with an excellent support from Harry Brook has ensured that England bowlers have plenty to defend. Heavy burden of Pakistan openers to start the chase - considering they have been often criticized for poor strike rate.

The chase starts in a moment!

21:49 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

England end their 20 overs with 209 runs on board! Dawid Malan, the star tonight with the bat, and Harry Brook has supported him in an amazing manner.

Pakistan need 210 runs to win the series....

21:48 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:

Harry Brook has one hit before the end of the innings! Slower delivery on the stumps and Brook heaves it over the bowler for a mammoth six.

21:46 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:

A six and then a four! Malan is on fire... An yorker attempted by Wasim, but turns into a low full-toss. Malan swings and the thick outside-edge splits backward point and short third man for a boundary. Frustration for the fielding side.

21:44 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:

Dawid Malan has started the last over with a bang. The backward square leg region has been favourite for the left-hander tonight. A slower off-cutter and Malan times it to perfection.

21:42 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Pakistan want an LBW review. The delivery was full and pitched outside leg. Malan was beaten on the flick shot. But the ball was pitching outside the leg stump. Waste of a review there, but doesn't matter now with one over to go.

21:38 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Pakistan fileders have had buttery hands tonight! Mohammad Wasim Jr. is the culprit this time. A slower delivery, Malan skies it high in the air but could only reach the 30-yard circle. Wasim had all the time to settle under the ball and he did. But let it past his fingers at the last moment...

21:36 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

A maximum by Dawid Malan! First a poor delivery sent away for a four towards the deep backward square. The subsequent ball produced an even better result for England! A short-pitched ball and Malan pulls it beautifully over the backward square.

21:33 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Dawid Malan hurt:

Dawid Malan is hurt on the ribs and goes down on the ground straight away. A short delivery from Hasnain, Malan tries a pull but only gloves it to deflect on his ribs. Looked like he was hit quite hard but sends the physio back. Takes a single and gets of the strike on next ball.

21:31 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Harry Brook hits a maximum to end the 17th over. Just a flick of the wrists, and the ball drops only after the boundary line over the backward square leg!

21:28 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, fifty for Dawid Malan:

A full delivery down the leg stump, and glanced towards backward square leg for a single. Fifty of 34 deliveries for Malan.

21:26 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Excellent shot by Malan over the extra-cover fielder that is inside the circle, and a big gap in the deep between cover and long-off.

21:24 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

An excellent 16th over from Haris Rauf. Concedes no boundaries. Just five of the over against the run of play. He would have also got the wicket of Harry Brook, but Babar didn't allow him.

England: 154/3 after 16 overs

21:22 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Babar Azam will want to forget this day. He has put down another catch, a dolly in fact. Brook tries to go big over the bowler's head but could only clear the 30-yard circle. Rauf had smartly taken the pace away from that delivery. Babar at mid-off gets under the ball, has the ball between his two palms, but drops at the last moment.

21:14 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Two back-to-back ramp shot efforts by Brook against Mohammad Hasnain, but misses out both the times.

21:12 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Harry Brook now gets into the act. A big heave over the long-on fence for six runs. Iftikhar had pitched it short of length and Brook gives it a perfect treatment!

21:09 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Dawid Malan scoring runs:

Seems like it is Malan's day today. First, a well-timed pull shot towards backward square, and the ball easily races towards the boundary. The last ball, he just opens the face of the bat towards the third man. It could not have been more than a single, but Hasnain at the third man overruns and concedes a boundary. A over that looked went for eight runs in last two balls.

21:04 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Dawid Malan dropped on 29. A flat batted shot trying to clear through the off side, but finds hands of skipper Babar Azam at extra-cover. But he has put it down and Malan has been bestowed with a second life. How costly will that prove?

21:00 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:

Harry Brook uses his feet and lofts inside-out and the ball has enough to clear the boundary line! England have kept the momentum going despite of wickets. Khushdil Shah at long-off runs to his left, and tries to catch, but couldn't reach there in time.

20:57 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, run-out at non-striker's end:

Shadab Khan tries to run-out Harry Brook at the non-striker's end. Would have erupted another controversy with an English batter being run-out at the non-striker end! Luckily, Brook was in his crease. Shadab smiles at him and gets back to his mark-up.

20:55 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Ben Duckett departs:

England have lost two wickets in runout in the first 10 overs. But they have 100 on the board already!
England: 102/3 after 10 overs.

20:52 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Ben Duckett departs:

Ben Duckett is dismissed with some lightning stuff behind the stumps by Rizwan. Duckett had an inside edge and tried to sneak out of the crease. Rizwan was sharp - as sharp as MSD, grabs the ball and disturbs the stumps in a whisker of a second. Ben Duckett 30(19) run out (Rizwan)

20:49 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
It is almost as if the two batters are competing out there for boundaries. After Malan's heave, Duckett comes down the track to Shadab Khan and hits it for one of the flattest sixes, straight down the ground, you would ever see.

20:44 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, first six:
Dawid Malan is in the mood today. A half-volley by Shadab Khan and heaved over the mid-wicket for a mighty six!
That has also brought up the 50-partnership between these two - Malan and Duckett!

20:43 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Ben Duckett now competes with Malan in the boundary race... A grounded shot, but excellently timed through the extra-cover for four runs.
Iftikhar gives 12 runs in his first over.
Pakistan: 77/2 after 8 overs.

20:40 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Welcome, Iftikhar Ahmed! A very well timed inside out shot by Dawid Malan over the extra-cover region to greet Iftikhar to bowling. A half-volley on the off stump and Malan reacts. The boundary cushions has been pulled back, as the original line drawn on the grass is visible. If that was the boundary line, it would have been a six.

20:37 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Ben Duckett reverse sweeps Shadab Khan for a beautiful boundary. Full delivery on the middle stump, but Duckett timed it brilliantly over the covers.

20:35 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, end of powerplay:
A four in the backward square leg region, just before the powerplay ends for England. Some sloppy stuff by Mohammad Wasim Jr. in the deep who lets the ball pass through him after an awkward bounce. Ben Duckett gets his first boundary.

20:30 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Hasnain let go off the advantage of two quick wickets and conceded two back-to-back boundaries at the end of the fifth over. Malan will be relieved to get some easy runs. The fourth delivery, played wide of point with an open face of bat. The next delivery, kisses the gloves and runs through the right of Rizwan as the left-hander tries to pull.

England: 48/2 after 5 overs.

20:27 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Phil Salt run-out:
A massive blunder from England and Phil Salt has been run out in the poorest of the ways. Malan misses the shot on a delivery that was drifting down the legs. The ball hits the thigh pads and rolls towards short fine leg. Shadab Khan was athletic and threw the ball to the non-striker's end where Salt had already covered more than half of the pitch to sneak a single. A loopy throw, but a direct hit from Shadab results in Salt being way short of the crease. Philip Salt 20(12) run out (Shadab Khan)

20:22 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Alex Hales departs:
Mohammad Hasnain strikes. The balls seams in to the right-hander after pitching. Hales misses it completely and is caught plumb before the stumps. Has a discussion with Salt, but doesn't go for a review. Alex Hales 18(13) lbw b Mohammad Hasnain

20:19 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Just three runs from that Haris Rauf over. He has stopped the flurry of boundaries with some excellent skills.
England: 39/0 after 4 overs.

20:17 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores, hat-trick boundaries:
Alex Hales has taken charge this time. Three boundaries to end the third over for the right-hander.

First towards the backward point. The next, whipped away a delivery on the pads towards mid-wicket. The last one smashed through the extra-cover to make a hat-trick! 15 runs from that third over.

20:14 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Alex Hales hits one straight back to the bowler. Mohammad Wasim could have caught it as it was not a clean hit, instead, he just tries to get out of the way. The ball was racing towards the boundary but Haris Rauf stops it right before the boundary line. Saved two runs for his side with an excellent effort!

20:09 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Hasnain wanted a review on the second delivery. But there was clear light passing through the bat and the ball. Only Hasnain was confident about an edge. Rizwan, as usual, did appeal, but wasn't interested for a review. Babar as well denies for it.

20:07 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
An excellent shot to welcome the pace attack of Mohammad Hasnain. Angling in on the pads and Salt flicks it away in the mid-wicket region.

20:04 (IST)

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Salt is on his way, straight away! Two boundaries in the first over.
The first one cut wide of the point fielder on the off-side, the second one lofted beautifully on the on side.
England: 13/1 after first over. Interesting stuff that Pakistan started the first over with a spinner!

20:01 (IST)
