PAK vs ENG Ball by Ball Commentary

OUT! ATKINSON IS RUN OUT! Arafat Minhas can do no wrong today, and he seals a dominant 87-run win for Pakistan in style. Another one that is drifted in, full and on the legs. Sonny Baker clips it away through mid-wicket for a single, and the batters then look for the second as well. Baker sends his partner back, but by then Gus Atkinson is almost back at the non-striker's end. Ghazi Ghori fires in a wide throw at the wrong end, and the bowler fails to collect cleanly. However, Minhas recovers well and fires in a direct hit at the keeper's end. Atkinson puts in a late dive but is well short, and England are bowled out for 215.

No hat-trick! Fullish length, drifted in towards middle and leg. Sonny Baker keeps the front leg out of the way and smothers it away to mid on.

OUT! LBW! Arafat Minhas bowls it nice and full on off, getting the ball to angle back in with the arm. Adil Rashid puts a stride forward to block, but the ball beats the inside edge and thuds into the front pad. There is a huge appeal, and the on-field umpire gives it out. Looks dead straight, but Adil Rashid has reviewed it. The third umpire has a look at it and ascertains that there's no spike off the bat, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The on-field decision stands, and Minhas now has 6 wickets to his name and has a chance to seal the win with a hat-trick as well. Can he do it?

OUT! CAUGHT! That should be that, and it's also a five-wicket haul for Arafat Minhas, his 2nd one already in ODIs. Minhas pulls the length back, bowling it a touch short on off. Will Jacks rocks back to pull but snatches at it and ends up miscuing it flat towards short mid-wicket. Shaheen Afridi takes a rather comfortable catch and Minhas has now struck in three consecutive overs. England's last recognized batter is also out and they are 214/8.

OUT! LBW! Another bowling change, and another immediate wicket for Pakistan. Arafat Minhas bowls this one fuller and straight, sliding it in with the arm. Cox gets forward and looks to play with a vertical bat, but across the line and the ball beats the inside edge and strikes him on the back leg. There's a prolonged appeal for LBW, and eventually the umpire's finger does go up. Jordan Cox has a quick chat with Will Jacks and takes the review. The third umpire checks UltraEdge first and there's nothing on it, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. It stays Out, and England are now 197/6.

Sam Curran sets up to pull but checks the shot as he isn't sure of the length, and ends up swivel-pulling it straight down the throat of the man at deep backward square leg.

Root tries to jam the back down but the ball brushes the cue end of the bat and shatters into the stumps. All of Root's hard work has come undone and Shah is absolutely pumped.

Excellent delivery. A full ball, in and around off, shaping in a bit. Tom Banton jams his bat down and keeps it out.

Beaten! Afridi makes good use of the angle and slants a full ball across the right-hander. Banton is lazy while going for the cover drive and is beaten past the outside edge.

Looking for some swing, but this one ends up being a low full toss angling down leg. Duckett flicks it down to fine leg for just a single.

Angled in from a bit wider on the crease, full and on off, and then seaming away a touch. Duckett stays compact and blocks it to cover.

On a good length, landing on off and then seaming away sharply. Banton watchfully leaves it alone.

FOUR! The first boundary of the chase, and it comes off the bat of Tom Banton. Pitched-up delivery on off, Banton strides in a bit and drives it uppishly over the cover region and picks up four runs.

Good shape on this one. Good length, in the channel outside off and swinging away. Banton leaves it alone.

Duckett is off the mark now. Very full and straight, at 138.4 kph, and swinging back in. Duckett whips it away wide of mid on and scampers through for a single.

Pitched fuller and closer to the off stump line, doesn't swing back in much. Duckett stays low and pats it down to cover.

A touch shorter of a good length, looking to shape it back in from outside off. Ben Duckett hangs back and dabs it down to backward point.

A bit of yes and no between the batters. Hard length around off, punched down to mid off. The batters set off for the single but then Banton sends Duckett back. Just 3 off the first over.

WIDE! Wayward from Afridi this time. Full and speared well outside the off stump. Banton chases after it but misses.

Banton gets opened up here. Back of a length, pitching outside leg and ending up shaping across the right-hander. Banton presses back to defend but gets squared up.

Excellent line from Afridi. The length is pulled back a touch and Afridi darts the ball back in towards the leg pole. Banton stabs it back down the pitch.

Beaten first up! Shaheen pitches the ball up to the batter, getting it to swing away a bit from the fourth-stump line. Tom Banton is sucked into the drive and the ball zips past the outside edge.
