ENG VS PAK - 2nd T20I, Pakistan tour of England, 2021

Neither of the games have been particularly close, but this result sets things up nicely for the decider on Tuesday, with the series on the line. Pakistan, a subcontinent team, have been outdone in their forte, spin, and this will hurt. Can they take this on their pride and stride, bounce back in the final one? They certainly have the resources to do so. If only they can avoid the brainfades. On that note, we're signing off from Cricbuzz for the day. It's been a major pleasure. Cheerio!

Moeen Ali | Man of the Match: Getting an opportunity up the order is great. I really tried to spin the ball, and the other two spinners were really great and I was lucky enough to bowl when the wicket was turning. When you go up the order you have the chance to bat in the powerplay, and I had a nice partnership with Jos to take it to the bowlers. Hopefully the game at Old Trafford will be a fantastic one for the crowd too.

Jos Buttler | England captain: We put together a great score after losing the toss. Adil has been fantastic for a very long time, and Parky bowled well in tandem with him. It's great to be back in the team and nice to contribute today. We got a very good performance in today. We had two good games, and I'm sure the decider will be brilliant as well.

Babar Azam | Pakistan captain: We gave away 30 extra runs and we weren't able to maintain the momentum that we got with the opening partnership. We had confidence in chasing, and my wicket was crucial because we lost momentum with that wicket. Shadab and Imad bowled well, but it didn't spin as much in the first innings as it did in the second innings. We'll try not to repeat the mistakes in the next game and win.

17:56 Local Time, 16:56 GMT, 22:26 IST: 200 was always going to be a tall order. Babar and Rizwan started well, but not well enough, despite an impressive 51 in the powerplay. After that, however, there was no attempt to build a partnership before it was too late (Shadab and Imad Wasim), and the chase crumbled under pressure, courtesy some headless batting from seasoned veterans and some top-class spin bowling. Pakistan have been trumped at their own trade and in the end, that has led to their downfall in this T20I. Shadab Khan tried his best but in the end, it all came down to the failure of the top order, who certainly needed to attack a lot more in pursuit of 201. Presentations coming up in a bit.

Tom Curran to Mohammad Hasnain, no run, very full and outside off, a swing through the wrong line, and that's through to Buttler. A tame end to the innings, but England have leveled the series 1-1 to set up the decider in Manchester!

Tom Curran to Shadab Khan, 1 run, nails the yorker but that's scooped out behind point for one

Tom Curran to Shadab Khan, no run, very full one on off-stump, drilled down towards long-off, and once again - DOT

Tom Curran to Shadab Khan, no run, full-toss, crunched away towards cow corner, and he hasn't taken a run again. They're clearly looking to reduce the margin of the loss now...

Saqib Mahmood to Haris Rauf, out Bowled! There's a bowling marker flying out of the bowler's pocket, an inch-perfect yorker, and that's crashed into the base of Rauf's stumps! Perhaps he should have pulled out of the shot, Rauf, but it's done now. Terrific ball, and not enough presence of mind. Haris Rauf b Saqib Mahmood 0(1)

Saqib Mahmood to Haris Rauf, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Saqib Mahmood to Shadab Khan, 1 run, short and wide, pace off, cut away square of the wicket for a single

Saqib Mahmood to Shadab Khan, SIX, they'd crossed over and this is why! A full-toss, a juicy one, and that's been thrashed over long-on for a flat six! Incredible hitting. Is there some hope for Pakistan?

Haris Rauf, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Saqib Mahmood to Shaheen Afridi, out Caught by Jordan!! It's all but over. Not enough room to pull, gets it off the shoulder of the bat, a bit of a top-edge, and that won't carry far, even with those long levers of Shaheen - massive top-edge towards Jordan at mid-on who won't drop these in a million years. Shaheen Afridi c Jordan b Saqib Mahmood 2(4)

Saqib Mahmood to Shaheen Afridi, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
