We are back.

...THE CHASE....

Now the target is not a big one, the wicket is a little tricky but with the dew setting in, it could be better to bat on in the second half. Pakistan need early wickets and England know a couple of good partnerships can do the job for them. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned as we will find out after the break.

For Pakistan, it was all about Rizwan. Had he not played that knock, they would have well ended with a score below 100. However, there were far too many wickets which were gifted. Especially the two run outs and a few of the batters who played rash shots. Overall, it was a very under par performance with the bat by Pakistan.

End of an excellent performance from England with the ball and they are well and truly on top at the moment! Right from the word go, their bowlers were on the mark and made excellent use of the conditions. They seemed to have bowled with a plan, they executed the short balls really well and it worked wonders for them. The pacers were the ones who did the job, all of them got a wicket apart from Rashid. Wood was the pick but he was well supported by the rest.

Chris Woakes to Haris Rauf, ! TAKEN! Woakes gets his revenge and his first! Rauf walks back after that biggie and Pakistan END WITH 145! Full and on off, seems like a slower one.

Jos Buttler is still injured but his job as the skipper has been done decently by Moeen Ali.

That being said, both teams are trying all the possibilities as they gear up for the upcoming World Cup. Pakistan are mostly relying on their opening stand to give the perfect start while for England, the inexperienced middle order is doing a g
