Pakistan vs England Live Scores and updates:
Excellent last over by Chris Jordan, gives away just two runs and Pakistan have ended their innings on 160. They would have fancied a bit more after starting in a blistering manner in the powerplay and at the end of 10 overs, but they will take 160.
It will be an interesting chase as England come out in a while.
Pakistan: 160/8 at the end of innings (match reduced to 19 overs per side)
Muhammad Wasim has been dismissed now with just one ball left in the innings. This has been a very decent over from Chris Jordan.
Just one run conceded from first four balls. The fifth ball is on good length on the middle stump. Wasim tries to heave it on the leg side but could only edge it high in the sky. Buttler completes an easy catch as Jordan doesn’t look at him completing the catch. Mohammad Wasim Jr c Jos Buttler b Chris Jordan 26(16)
Asif Ali is runout in a strange manner. That is second mixup of the evening for Pakistan. Willey bounces him short and is completely surprised by the delivery. The ball takes a leading edge and crawls towards square leg, but Asif isn’t aware of where the ball is. Mohammad Wasim wanted a single and calls hard. Asif reacts late to it and is caught short of the crease at non-striker’s end as Willey dislodges the bails. Asif Ali run out (Mark Wood/ David Willey) 14(12)
Just as we talk about boundaries being dried up, Muhamamd Wasim has hit back-to-back boundaries – in fact the second one is a six!

16.5 – Wasim heaves big over the mid-wicket, has connected it well and the ball lands over the boundary line.

Pakistan: 137/6 after 16.3 overs
Mohammad Nawaz has been dismissed! A short ball by Sam Curran and it follows Nawaz as he backs away down leg side. He’s choked for space on the pull and gloves it to the wicket keeper. Mohammad Nawaz c Jos Buttler b Sam Curran 10(11)
Eight runs of the over after the resumption of play, including a boundary of the second ball of the over. Pakistan have looked good with the bat despite losing wickets. Just the absence of Babar and Rizwan seems to have put added responsibility on other batters and they have responded well.
Pakistan: 115/5 after 13 overs
The play will resume at 2:45 pm IST. The match has been reduced to 19 overs per side.
Just before the players go back due to rains, Pakistan have lost another wicker, owing to a mix-up. Asif Ali nudges on the leg side, the ball has gone only as far as the practice pitch next to the one they are playing. Iftikhar Ahmad wanted a quick single and is almost at the striker’s end. But Asif Ali goes back inside the crease after making a false start. Buttler collects the ball, and throws it Adil Rashid at non-striker’s end who dislodges the bails. Iftikhar Ahmed run out (Jos Buttler) 22(18)
Its drizzling at the Gabba!
Two in two for David Willey! Khushdil Shah is gone for a golden duck. A short of a good length delivery, moves a bit away from the left-hander and he egdes it to the gloves of Jos Buttler, trying to guide it through the third man. Khushdil Shah c Jos Buttler b David Willey 0(1)
Shadab Khan has been dismissed off a very good yorker by David Willey! The stand-in Pakistan skipper shuffles across to his off side, but Willey is smart to bowl a straight yorker on the stumps. The ball hits Shadab’s pads and that was plumb! He jokingly asks for a review, knowing there is no DRS for warmp up games. Shadab Khan lbw b David Willey 14(14)
9.3 – A delightful reverse sweep by Iftikhar Ahmad! Adil Rashid bowls full and on the legs of the right-hander, but Ahmad reverse sweeps it beautifully through the backward point region.
Pakistan: 89/2 after 10 overs

Haider Ali c Jos Buttler b Ben Stokes 18(16)

Pakistan: 23/0 after 2 overs
Shan Masood is looking in a good touch to start the innings. A short pitched delivery by Sam Curran and the left-hander pulls it away beautifully on the leg side, over the mid-wicket for four runs!
Ben Stokes bowls another no-ball, but umpire Illingworth doesn’t show mercy again.
Free hit: Shan Masood moves to his leg side, gives himself room, and smashes the ball over extra-cover for four runs. It was a short ball and that certainly helped Masood’s cause!
Ben Stokes has overstepped on the second ball of the innings – more than a foot, but that wasn’t called a no ball. Umpire Richard Illingworth didn’t spot it!
Shan Masood and Haider Ali are out to open the innings for Pakistan. England is starting with a fielder in slips. Ben Stokes to get things running for England.
Jos Buttler: We are going to have a bowl. We recently played against Australia and batted first in every game, we would like to change it up and chase for once. We have played a lot against Pakistan very recently, but it is about getting used to these conditions and this is our only warmup game, if there’s anything the guys want to try this is the game to do it. Looking forward to the tournament. We are playing 13 players.

Shadab Khan: Babar and Rizwan are getting some rest as they play a lot of cricket. They are mostly on the ground as they score heavily for us and we wanted to give them rest. It is good for us, we are good at chasing and want to bat first (to test ourselves). We struggle when we bat first and wanted to do that in the warmup game.
