Match Summary:
Extraordinary chase from Pakistan. They scaled down the big target of 200 without much discomfort and have brought this 7-match series on level terms, 1-1.
Babar Azam & Mohammad Rizwan have put on an absolute batting masterclass tonight against England and the English bowlers had no idea left to stop them from scoring runs.
However, Mohammad Rizwan did offer them a few chances - on 23 (dropped by Alex Hales), 32 (stumping missed) and 83 (dropped by Moeen) but England didn’t take any and from thereon, it was one-way traffic.
What a brilliant batting performance from babar Azam & Rizwan. The timing of their comeback after all of those criticism been great.
