One batsman comes off big and we got this.
Great fielding performance anyhow.

Pakistan hit the ball in the air a lot.
England just need to play for 2s and run - home with 4 overs to spare.

Absolutely superb from Rashid and Curran. That’s a well below par score.
I’m travelling so can’t watch. Steady nerve and rational shot play wins this.

These opening two play like other day they will knock them off between them

The trouble is that it's a big ground so clearing the ropes is harder, although straight looks doable and Hales can hit there.

First T20 match I've seen for a while where the boundaries aren't brought in to inflate scores.

We don't particularly need any fireworks from them, either. 6 or 7 rpo for the first 10 overs will be fine. Keep taking regular 1s and 2s, keep the scoreboard ticking over. Just make sure we don't lose more than 2 or 3 wickets in that time.

Boundaries aren't a necessity. 7 per over is eminently doable with regular singles and 2s.
