    17.3 bowled him, that was a low-percentage shot from Salt. Short fine leg was quite square, and Salt was looking to eye the gap to his right, but he chooses the wrong ball. It's too full, and it's too straight, and he ends up stepping too far across and missing his sweep. Excellent innings, and a superb breakthrough to give Shakeel his first ODI wicket 118/3
    1.6 you have to say that was coming! Another fine delivery from Hasan, excellent length, shaping away from the left-hander on an off-stump line, a flashing edge and a low nick to second slip! Big breakthrough for Pakistan! 9/1
    4.1 bowled him! Outstanding from Shaheen, a perfect yorker, dipping exquisitely below a thrusting blade, bending back into the off stump, and though Crawley's been out there a while now, his first ball is a fatal ball! Thought it was a slower ball at first, actually it was 90mph/145kph, but a faint under-edge off the toe delayed the death-rattle 21/2
    20.5 bowled him, this has been a terrific over, to a batter who was clearly struggling to pick the bowler from the hand. Wrong'un, and Vince, looking to make room and play it square on the off side, is cramped for room and beaten comprehensively. Wasn't short enough to be playing that square off the back foot either 134/4
    25.2 bowled him, that wasn't a very wise shot from Stokes. Steps out and makes a lot of room to hit through the covers, and Hasan gets it to seam in to exaggerate the inward angle, beat the inside edge, and hit the top of off stump 156/5
    27.1 another batter is bowled, this was all too easy for Hasan. Fullish, angling into the stumps, and Simpson doesn't get a stride forward at all. Looks to drive down the ground and plays a long way in front of his body, and that creates the perfect gap between bat and pad for the ball to sneak through. That wasn't well played at all. Telltale sign: the unbent front knee. Might have seamed in, but it didn't do a whole lot 160/6
    40.3 bouncer, drawn into the pull, but straight to deep square leg! The shot was on, but the ball got big on him, couldn't get over the shot as he launched his hands through the stroke, and there ends a very important maiden ODI innings 229/8
    27.4 gone, is it? Pakistan think so, but umpire Alex Wharf doesn't. Pakistan have reviewed this... back of a length in the corridor, nips back in a touch, and Overton jabs at it without a lot of footwork. Past the inside edge, it seems like, and there's a definite spike on Ultra Edge! Overton goes for a duck, and England are collapsing quickly here 160/7
    42.1 or just have a biff! Full length, flings the hands through the line, fat inside-edge, down into the stumps! Carse is gone after a fine debut knock. England unravelling now, but they've got 50 more than they might have bargained for 233/9
    45.2 back of a length, launched to the leg-side, Hasan his his five! Mahmood seemed to connect well, but deep square leg barely had to move. Straight down his throat, and England's helter-skelter innings comes to an end. 247/10

    1.1 and he strikes first ball! Length ball, slanting across into the corridor, bringing Imam onto the front foot. Nibbles away slightly off the pitch, and Imam pushes at it in front of his body - neither a defensive shot nor a proper drive on the up - and only manages a thin edge through to Simpson 1/1
    13.5 and Overton has ended Fakhar's struggle with a good ball. Fullish, seaming in from just outside off. The previous ball left Fakhar from a similar line. Looks to drive down the ground, leaves a gap between bat and pad, and the ball sneaks through and rattles the stumps. Just not Fakhar's day. He struggled for timing, and when he did middle it, he usually hit it straight to a fielder 53/4
    4.5 big appeal, and it's given! Babar seemed late on that, and he played well outside the line as it seamed into him. Perfect length, and he was caught on the crease, but he's reviewed nonetheless. Length ball, pitching outside off and seaming in past Babar's defensive push - he played that well in front of his body and left a big gap. Misses the bat by a long way and hits the back thigh pad. Three reds on ball-tracking, and Babar will have to go. Excellent delivery, the length did Babar in on that occasion 25/2
    8.3 but he doesn't need even one. Length ball in the corridor, nibbles away slightly, and Rizwan has a little feel for it and sends a thin edge to the keeper. Pakistan are in all sorts of strife now 36/3
    39.6 gone. Looks for another sweep from wide of off stump, and this time he nails the slog-sweep, but there's a man back at deep midwicket and he picks out the fielder perfectly. Excellent innings in the circumstances, but he never really had the middle-order support he needed 192/9
    19.1 Simpson runs back to swallow the top-edge! Overton isn't afraid to keep banging in the short ball, and earns his rewards. A timely breakthrough as Maqsood can't get hold of his pull, a leading edge towards third man. It was a sprint for the keeper, and it nearly wriggled out, but he did the needful and now England are right back on top 86/5
    24.6 banged in short, uppercut to Parkinson at third man! He had plenty time to contemplate his life choices as that plummeted from the heavens, and it might have nearly snuck out too. But job's a good'un for England and Gregory, as Shadab took on the boundary with a deliberate flap up and over, but couldn't get enough bat on the shot 115/6
    27.1 straight off the face of the bat and an outstanding take from Simpson! That's a wonderful moment for the rookie/veteran* keeper, who read the attempted sweep, galloped to the leg side, and snaffled the catch clean in his mitts! Like Sarah Taylor's wonder-take a few years ago, that was all about the premeditation. He was in the right place once the shot was completed, and the rest is in the scorebook! 118/7
    30.5 back of a length outside off, and Hasan, moving away to the leg side again, can't control the pull/swipe, with the ball too far from his reach and the bounce too high as well. Only manages a top edge, and it swirls down to Overton at fine leg 152/8

    40.6 and that is that. Short, angling down leg. Looks to pull, but only manages to glove it and Simpson takes a super catch diving to his left. The ball was dying as it got to him 195/10
