What does he do to still get in the team let alone bat so high up the order
The collapse continues Billings out…still 1 needed from the last over.
Good run chase that. Great knock from Morgan, really entertaining. He did a bit lucky with the LBW shout second ball, very very tight.
England win Toss, bowl.
2 off 1st over.
Moeen bowls Zaman with his 1st ball of the 2nd over
2-1
Young Haider Ali looks a find 19 years old 1st Intl 33 off 16 already & some big 6’s
69-2 8.1 overs
Some might buffing from Hafeez as well puts it out of the ground100-2 11 overs gone
Haider 1st Pakistani to score 50 on T20 debut.
Worked by Jordan for 54
132-3 14.3 overs
We are bowling some absolute dross, long hops & full tosses
190 off 20 overs good death bowling by Jordan & Mahmood.
Now for the chase
Shaheen bowling lightning bolts gets Bairstow for 0
England cant lay a bat on him so going after Imad.
Bairstow never even saw the ball that worked him.
Malan holes out to fielder who jumps to take it right on the boundary gone for 7
Banton looking OK

54-2 off power play so ahead of Pakistan at this stage
Banton 42 off 25
Riaz official warning for running on the pitch
Bollox
Mix up run out stands Morgan run out 10
65-3
Wow. That was bloody close in the end.
Pakistan win by 5 runs amazing knock by Moeen got us close
Now lets not forget and I’ll not gloat, this is Morgans nigh on strongest team and what is this Aussie attack doing to it?
On our wickets I’ll add.
Boss came round
Spent 1st 18.1 overs explaining cricket to another Pole.
He actually got it even wowed at 1 of the Aussie catches.
Too many soft wickets given away gonna be 30+ runs short imho
It was composure in the middle order and in the middle, as I said judge us against the Aussies and India at home and a few others away, I have a higher expectation than some, in this format and test we’re a way off and the one dayers closer but the Aussies have the edge.
David Warner was always opening the batting.
So where is Stuart Broad
And why is Archer bowling long hops at them?
Just a gentle prod.
