2.5 to Awais Zia, ah, done him - Finn's slower ball deceives Zia, who is too quickly through his drive and only succeeds in looping it to mid-off. And Finn doesn't half give the batsman a send off too!. 32/1

19.6 to Shoaib Malik, smashed into the off side off a bit of an edge and Bairstow takes a blinder, screaming off the long off boundary and diving to take the catch coming forward. That is fine work going to his left with two hands. 144/6

8.3 to Mohammad Hafeez, flighted, slog-swept but not enough on it ... this time Bairstow makes no mistake with the catch, coming round from deep midwicket. Apologies, I think I might have jinxed Hafeez a few balls back. But, in my defence, that was a stupid time to play such a shot, with Shafiq just out. 65/3
10.1 to Shahid Afridi, and he's got the danger man! Afridi chips a full ball from leg stump to midwicket. A very simple chance to Eoin Morgan who didn't have to move to take it with two hands at head height. Afridi tried to use his feet, Swann fired it into leg stump and it just popped up to the fielder. 73/4
10.4 to Umar Akmal, another for Swann! This has been some impact. Akmal with a very poor shot, not catching a big heave down the ground and Dernbach races in from long off to tumble forward and take a fine catch down low, he nearly fumbled it. Akmal didn't learn from the previous game. 73/5

15.5 to RS Bopara, and Gul finds a way through! Bowled him, neck and crop! Bopara moved across his stumps and was defeated by a vicious, leg-stump yorker that may just have shattered England's chances. 113/4
17.2 to JC Buttler, another for Gul! Necessity is the mother of Buttler's downfall here, the Somerset man stepping outside off and angling his bat, attempting to bounce it over the infield using the pace of the ball ... but it was a slow delivery and Buttler couldn't clear short fine leg standing inside the ring. 121/5
17.3 to SR Patel, full, swinging in and gone! Patel shuffled across, wafted a bat outside the line and was hit on the full, directly in front of off. That was a wicked delivery, ducking inside Patel's attempted stroke. And Gul's on a hat-trick. 121/6

5.4 to KP Pietersen, pulled out into the leg side and caught right on the rope! Straight to the man on the boundary, couldn't have been picked out any better! A yard either side and it was another maximum but Afridi has struck a major blow for Pakistan. 48/1

6.6 to C Kieswetter, bowled him! Kieswetter trying to step away but almost got too far away from the stumps and got bowled, missed an attempted cut, it runs onto the bails and Pakistan strike again. 51/2
12.2 to EJG Morgan, and this time gottim! A heavy blow for England, who lose the top-ranked batsman in the format to another wily Hafeez delivery. It was maybe a touch quicker, full in length and the ball flew through Morgan as he shaped for an expansive drive. 80/3
