PAK vs ENG LIVE Score, T20 World Cup Final: Babar Azam Solid, But Pakistan Two Down vs England

PAK vs ENG: WICKET!

Mohammad Haris is gone! Adil Rashid bowled a flighted delivery to the Pakistan batter, who stepped out of his crease to take Rashid on but fell in the process. Haris mishit the ball into the hands of long-on fielder Ben Stokes who make no mistake. The right-handed batter departs for a 12-ball 8.

PAK 45/2 (7.1)

PAK vs ENG: FOUR!

Another slower ball from Chris Woakes and Mohammad Haris was ready this time. He played a ramp shot on it for a four over the short fine-leg fielder. 10 runs came off the over.

PAK 39/1 (6)

PAK vs ENG: FOUR!

That’s a poor delivery from Chris Woakes. He bowled a slower ball down the leg side to Babar Azam and the Pakistan skipper just needed to guide it down to the fine leg boundary for a four. He did, exactly that! It is also the first four of the innings for Pakistan.

PAK 33/1 (5.2)

PAK vs ENG: England in control!

England were already off to a good start but Sam Curran’s wicket has put them ahead in this game now. Just one more over left in the first powerplay and Pakistan are not even going at 6 runs per over.

PAK 29/1 (5)

PAK vs ENG: WICKET!

Mohammad Rizwan has been dismissed by Sam Curran. He wanted to hit the ball on the off side but edged the ball from inside of his bat and saw the ball hitting the stumps. Pakistan are one down.

PAK 29/1 (4.2)

PAK vs ENG: 12-run over from Chris Woakes

Some intent from Pakistan openers in the over saw them scoring 12 runs in it. Mohammad Rizwan set the tone with a six off the first ball and the five balls saw the Pakistan openers fetching another 6 runs. 

PAK 28/0 (4)

PAK vs ENG: SIX!

Here is the first six of Pakistan innings. Mohammad Rizwan knelt down on Chris Woakes’ fuller delivery and hit the ball over deep square leg for a six.

PAK 22/0 (3.1)

PAK vs ENG: Another good over for England!

Just four runs came off Sam Curran’s first over of the game. He even troubled Babar Azam with the bounce in his delivery. Pakistan are off to a slow start the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

PAK 16/0 (3)

PAK vs ENG: Tidy over from Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes conceded only four runs in his first over. Both the Pakistani openers – Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan – have so far failed to hit any boundaries. This is a good start for England! 

PAK 12/0 (2)

PAK vs ENG: 8 runs from the first over

Mohammad Rizwan didn’t look comfortable at the middle in the first over. He even survived a close run-out chance. Pakistan got 8 runs off the first over. Chris Woakes will bowl the second over.

PAK 8/0 (1)

PAK vs ENG: Run-out missed!

Mohammad Rizwan was gone for all the money, had Chris Jordan hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end! The Pakistan batter nudged the ball in front of Jordan at mid-off and tried to steal a single. To his good luck, Jordan’s throw missed the stumps. 

PAK 5/0 (0.4)

PAK vs ENG: It’s game time!

Ben Stokes will bowl the first over of the game. Mohammad Rizwan will face him and Babar Azam is at the other end. Here we go…

The first ball is a no-ball from Stokes and the second one is a wide.

PAK vs ENG: Time for national anthems!

Players of both Pakistan and England teams are at the ground for their respective national anthems. They start with the national anthem of England and that of Pakistan follows. We are just minutes away from the start of the game.

PAK vs ENG: Eyes on Pakistani openers!

Both Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have failed to make an impact with their games so far. They have also failed to impress as a pair. However, today, Pakistan would be badly wanting the two to perform in unison in order to post a challenging total against England.

All set
