    Zimbabwe captain had a bit of a mare there. Chose to field first and goes for 52 in 3 overs no wickets and then injuries his finger

    That’s how you bat in T20!

    I see the ECB has had to write to all the Hundred franchises to remind them of their responsibilities with regards to discrimination. This, of course, is directly aimed at the four teams owned by Indian franchises that, as matter of course, ban all players from Pakistan. Some 68 men and women from Pakistan have put themselves up for auction and it will be interesting to see how many of those will be bought by those four franchises.

    Pakistan have won the toss and will bat

    Brook says they would have batted too. England pick the same side and Pakistan make just the one change.

    Difficult to say because we don't know which England team and which Pakistan team will turn up. A win for England and they are through to the semis.

    Us to struggle against their spinners. But let's see.

    Archer gets Saim caught off a mistimed hook by Bethell

    14-1 (2.1)

    Overton, with an excellent diving catch running in from long-off, gets Salman off the bowling of Dawson.

    27-2 (3.3)

    46-2 (6). England's power play.

    It is absolutely incredible to see that as great and experienced a batter as Babar is, he cannot read Rashid's wrong'un.  
  • Addick Addict

    But then Babar isn't the same batter he once was anyway. Has a horrible hoick at one from Overton and is cleaned up for barely a run-a-ball 25

    73-3 (10.5)

    DJ blaring out vindaloo from the stadiums speakers means another wicket has gone for Pakistan..

    Bethell has had an absolute nightmare in the field. Twice he has let through basic stops for boundaries off the bowling of Dawson and Jacks respectively.

    Jacks is fuming and gives Bethell the "death stare" at the end of his over!

    This is kindergarten cricket from us. Archer is outside the ring and we have one too many so the next ball becomes a free hit.

    Rashid is bowling beautifully but that, in itself, might be cause for concern for our batters later .

    Rashid is now showing his angst at the end of the over. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the dressing room post this innings!

    Jacks has now become the target of Pakistan aggression and has gone for 27 off two overs. 

    50* (37) for Farhan

    107-3 (14)

    If you thought Jacks was pissed off with Bethell then Rashid seemed apoplectic with archer. Last ball of his over which was the extra went for a boundary.

    My thoughts exactly with the spin bowling at Pakistans disposal

    I'm under 172.5 for this innings but would be concerned, not just from a financial perspective, if Pakistan get 173 plus.

    Overton is hit for a 6 and a 4 but then traps Farhan for 63 (45) LBW next ball. Farhan reviews straightaway but burns one as he is absolutely plumb.

    122-4 (15.4)

    Not watching and haven’t read anything about the pitch - what was the consensus par score?

    Rashid gets hit for a maximum but two balls later gets Zaman with a googly - excellent catch by Dawson

    132-5 (16.3)

    About 170-175 before the game and nothing has changed since really. It's a decent deck that offers a bit for the spinners.
