England vs Pakistan, 2nd ODI at London, , Aug 27 2016 - Match Result

6.52pm So that is that for another match. Have a read of George Dobell's match report, and we'll see you again at Trent Bridge next week. From myself and Gnasher, good night.

Joe Root is Man of the Match for his 89: "Ankle's alright, a bit of a dramatic steam-in from Rash... you could see at the back end of our innings, with the square as dry as it is, that reverse swing might be a factor, but we made little targets throughout, and took it ball by ball."

Eoin Morgan: "A clinical performance all round. Got the ball talking in the first four overs, and that was an awesome way to start. The guys we've selected are different, we've got pace, control, and guys who turn the ball. Today the wicket was slower and turned a bit."

Ten wins in 11 against Pakistan: "We can't take 2-0 for granted. Work on our fielding is a priority. We will work on that in the series." And on his own fifty: "Batting with Joe is awesome, he seems to be batting on a different wicket at the moment."

Azhar Ali: "The guys worked hard and kept fighting, And Sarfraz's hundred was one of the best innings I've seen from him. We could have made 300 on this pitch, but after losing those three wickets, we'd have taken 250. We have the capability but we need to apply ourselves."

"We'd like to find a combination where we bat deep but have lots of bowling options too. We've got a lot of positives from this game."

6.44pm Rizwan Zafar : "I have forgotten the pain of losing to England after Bravo magic in the final over. A consoled Pakistan fan." He is, as they say, the Champion ... Time for some presentations.

6.35pm So, England produce the finish that rain denied us in the opening contest. Once again, Pakistan batted first, once again their mid-200s total was inadequate for both the conditions and the depth of their opponents' batting. Once again Joe Root chipped in with a vital fifty, and Eoin Morgan continued his return to form with his first fifty of the summer.

Oh, and India need two runs from one ball in Florida ... a tie would really blow the Americans' minds ... instead, Dhoni blows everyone's minds by failing to finish it!

A slip and a leg slip for Yasir... he's not given up ...

M Arsalan: "Well, man of the match decision gets interesting now. Sarfaraz or Root? Do winning team's player get any edge?" They often do, yes. But without Sarfraz this would have been an utter rout. He's my MoM for sure

raghu: "India is chasing in 20overs what England is doing in 50overs. I'd rather prefer Herath on Day 5 against Aussies. This is excruciating pain.. Death of Cricket " Evolution of cricket ... it'll recover!

Riaz Shaikh: "@Andrew, India's 3rd inning closure wasn't technically a surrender, since they did set a small target for WI to chase in the 4th inning." I love a good technicality. And that isn't one of them ...
