Final overs
Full commentary- Two wins out of two and Mike Hesson's Pakistan team is on a roll. They've a break now with England and Sri Lanka taking on each other in Rawalpindi's final match of the tri-series. That's on the 22nd and we'll be back for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
- Shaheen Afridi | Pakistan Captain - (If he was happy with the score) I think it was really good, the way Hasan and Arafat batted, then Faheem came in and he batted. I think it's a good sign for us, but we also need the top order to post a good score. (When asked if this was a complete performance) As a team, we did some good things, but we need to improve more. Our preparation for the World Cup, how we built this team, the way our fast bowlers bowled, and then Arafat and Naseem as well—I think it was a good sign for us. (On the decision to bring back pacers against a new batter) We just feel that when a new batter comes in, let's use some bouncers and then land balls; those are the thoughts, and then we just deliver. (On Arafat Minhas) I think he's a very good talent. He was mentioned before. He's not just a bowling all-rounder or a batting all-rounder; he is a proper all-rounder. I think the way he's started his innings in batting and then delivering in bowling, it's good for us, for the Pakistan team, and hopefully he'll deliver in many more games.
- Harry Brook | England Captain - (On the target) We were quite happy with 300. We thought they were probably slightly under par. It got dewy, as we thought it would do, but yeah, we were pretty happy at halfway. (Not capitalising on the start that Banton and Duckett provided them) Yeah, that was the story of the innings, really. We thought Bants and Ducky set the tone beautifully to nearly get a hundred partnership, and then it was just a case of losing too many wickets in clumps. We couldn't really string any partnerships together and, yeah, we ended up on the wrong side. (On the importance of getting back to winning ways) Definitely, you always want to win, don't you? We've spoken a lot about rotation of strike through the middle, but I think we were probably a little bit too careful against the spinners, especially. We can probably put them under a little bit more pressure in stages, and, yeah, we've got tonight to talk about it and tomorrow and bounce back better on Thursday.
- Arafat Minhas | Player of the Match - I kept my plans very simple. In the first match, there wasn't much help for the spinners, but I backed my plans. Today, the pitch was a little slow, so I think I targeted good areas and received some help, which benefited me. (About his bowling) Variations are very important because if you keep bowling in one area, the spinner doesn't get much advantage. But when you vary your pace and bowl both spin and the arm ball, it deceives the batsman. I think that is very important, and I have worked on it as well, which helped me today. (On his batting) When I went in to bat, a very important partnership was needed. Hassan and I discussed taking this partnership deep. We aimed to add as many runs as possible because that would benefit us and allow us to cover things at the end, as both of us had that strength. Hassan was batting well, maintaining his flow and intent, while I supported him. But when he got out, I took charge and tried to bat till the end. That benefited us, and we managed to score 300.
- 20:24 Local Time, 15:24 GMT, 20:54 IST: A chase that started so brightly has ended in complete disaster for England. Ben Duckett (45) and Tom Banton (57) added 91 at better than run-a-ball. The tourists were cruising until the former top-edged a pull off Haris Rauf. It then became a slide as Arafat Minhas came to bowl. Having already made a 50 with the bat, he took that confidence to the ball and simply outclassed the Englishmen. Banton pulled a short ball to mid-wicket, Harry Brook was left surprised by the turn which opened him up completely, Jordon Cox was trapped in front. Jamie Overton and Will Jacks holed out while Adil Rashid was also trapped in front. In between, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf gave their team the advantage by dismissing Joe Root and Sam Curran. It was a total team effort and Pakistan have taken a big step towards reaching the October 31st final. Stay tuned for the presentations..

- 37.14Shaheen Afridi to Gus Atkinson, FOUR, lovely shot, tad too short from Shaheen - Atkinson picks the length early, swivels across and then pulls it wide of mid-wicket for a boundary
- 36.4WArafat Minhas to Jamie Overton, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! A miscue and Overton has holed out to long-on - 4th wicket for Arafat Minhas, he's having a superb match - Overton came down the pitch, was completely undone in the flight, went through with the lofted drive. The ball came off the inside half and lobbed into the hands of a sliding Hassan Nawaz at long-on. Jamie Overton c Hasan Nawaz b Arafat Minhas 1(4)
- 36.14Arafat Minhas to Will Jacks, FOUR, crunched, fraction short and at the stumps - Jacks picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull over wide mid-wicket for a boundary
- 35.6OTeam milestoneShaheen Afridi to Will Jacks, 1 run, Shaheen shortens the length and pushes one across the right-hander- Jacks runs it down to third man for a single
- 34.5WArafat Minhas to Jordan Cox, out Lbw!! A big shout and Jordan Cox has been given OUT LBW, Was this drifting down leg? It has been reviewed - was tossed up and slid back into the right-hander, Cox was pressing forward on the drive and is beaten on the inside edge. Did it straighten enough? Or was it sliding with the angle? Ball-tracking: It's going on with the angle and hitting the leg-stump - three reds, Cox is OUT and he takes a review with him as well. Jordan Cox lbw b Arafat Minhas 18(16) [4s-1 6s-1]
- 34.26Arafat Minhas to Jordan Cox, SIX, clubbed, they're finding the boundaries now - wasn't all that short, but Cox goes back and then drags the pull overv wide mid-wicket, the timing was sweet and the ball sailed away
- 33.36Haris Rauf to Will Jacks, SIX, cracking shot, nice way to get your innings moving - short and angling into the right-hander, Jacks gets inside the line, uses Rauf's pace and thumps the pull over long leg for a maximum
- 31.3WHaris Rauf to Sam Curran, out Caught by (sub)Ghazi Ghori!! A top-edge and Curran has holed out to deep backward square leg - Pakistan keep chipping away - back of a length and at the left-hander, probably didn't bounce as much as Curran expected, he swiveled across and seemed to have checked his pull, didn't go through with the shot completely and there's Ghazi Ghori at deep backward square leg - he keeps his eyes on the ball as he goes back and completes a fine overhead catch. They've taken drinks with England in some trouble. Sam Curran c (sub)Ghazi Ghori b Haris Rauf 27(39) [6s-1]
- 30.34Naseem Shah to Jordan Cox, FOUR, crisp, overpitched and just outside off - Cox leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and caresses the drive past extra-cover for a boundary. Made it look so easy
- 28.5WNaseem Shah to Joe Root, out Bowled!! That's right through Root and Naseem is chuffed to bits - on a good length and just outside off, stayed a fraction low and Root was caught in the crease, brings his bat down late - the ball catches the toe-end and falls back onto the off-stump. It's pegged back and Naseem runs away in absolute joy. Joe Root b Naseem Shah 33(35) [4s-2]
- 25.56Saim Ayub to Sam Curran, SIX, hammered, a rank long hop and Curran doesn't miss out - picks the length, swivels across and then thumps it high over deep mid-wicket- a boundary after 48 deliveries
- 20.2WArafat Minhas to Harry Brook, out Bowled!! And a rippah! That turned a lot and beat the poke off the back foot. That was a tossed up delivery, turned away and Harry Brook went back to play it but missed the line of the delivery owing to the turn. Massive moment in the game. The dangerous Harry Brook has to go. Arafat Minhas is all charged up. He lets out a roar. Harry Brook b Arafat Minhas 5(7)
- 18.3WArafat Minhas to Tom Banton, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! Pulled down to mid-wicket. That was a flatter one, Tom Banton goes back to pull it and taken by the man inside the circle. That was hit hard but straight to the fielder. Easy one. Tom Banton c Shaheen Afridi b Arafat Minhas 57(53) [4s-5 6s-2]
- 17.44Saim Ayub to Joe Root, FOUR, flatter one, outside off, Joe Root hangs back and chops the ball down wide of short third man
- 16.34Haris Rauf to Joe Root, FOUR, pulled down, fine, four more. That was a length delivery, angled in, pulled away fine for a four
- 15.5FOFifty · Team milestoneSaim Ayub to Tom Banton, 2 runs, fifty for Tom Banton! He would be happy with this but the job is half done. That was short, outside off, patted wide of point and they raced back
- 14.64Haris Rauf to Tom Banton, FOUR, drives the ball down and beats the man at mid-on! That was a fuller length delivery, angled in, Tom Banton got behind the line of the delivery and put it away
- 14.3WHaris Rauf to Ben Duckett, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Taken by the man at deep fine. That was banged in, Ben Duckett looks to pull and gets a top-edge. He was not in control of shot. This is a major strike as Ben Duckett was looking so good. Misses a certain fifty here. Pakistan get the window that they had been looking for. Ben Duckett c Fakhar Zaman b Haris Rauf 45(46) [4s-8]
- 11.44Faheem Ashraf to Ben Duckett, FOUR, on the pads, Ben Duckett hangs back and tucks the ball down to deep square for a four. That was put away into the gap
- 11.14Faheem Ashraf to Ben Duckett, FOUR, on the pads, Ben Duckett tucks the ball down fine for a four. That was a poor delivery down leg and put away
- 9.64Faheem Ashraf to Ben Duckett, FOUR, short, wide, slapped! That was hit into the gap again
- 8.44Shaheen Afridi to Ben Duckett, FOUR, fuller length delivery, outside off, Ben Duckett kneels down and drives the ball wide of the man at cover. The batter got behind the line of the delivery to put it away
- 8.14Shaheen Afridi to Ben Duckett, FOUR, fuller length delivery, angled in, Ben Duckett clips the ball wide of mid-on for a four. That was a poor delivery which angled in

- 6.24Shaheen Afridi to Tom Banton, FOUR, on the pads, Tom Banton clips the ball wide of mid-on for a four. That was a length delivery from Shaheen Afridi
- 5.64Naseem Shah to Ben Duckett, FOUR, poor from Rauf at fine leg. Overran the ball a little as the batter nudged it off the pads. Was a poor length delivery on the pads. Rauf got there, was eager to throw the ball but the ball slipped out and Naseem gave the fielder a long stare
- 5.24Naseem Shah to Ben Duckett, FOUR, length delivery, well wide outside off, Ben Duckett slaps that down wide of cover for a four. Lovely shot on the up
- 4.64Shaheen Afridi to Tom Banton, FOUR, fuller length delivery, down leg, Tom Banton clips the ball down to fine leg for a four. The ball raced away quickly
- 3.24Naseem Shah to Ben Duckett, FOUR, short, wide, Ben Duckett looks to cut and the ball goes off the under-edge and wide of the keeper's reach for a four. The ball raced away in a jiffy
- 1.54Naseem Shah to Tom Banton, FOUR, fuller length delivery, nips away, Tom Banton looks to drive it and gets it off the outer-half. The ball flies off the edge for a four
- Two wins out of two and Mike Hesson's Pakistan team is on a roll. They've a break now with England and Sri Lanka taking on each other in Rawalpindi's final match of the tri-series. That's on the 22nd and we'll be back for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
