Preview: After a couple of one-sided and a couple of nerve-cracking contests between Pakistan and England, the series that is being played after 17 long years is down to one final match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The seven-match series is levelled at 3-3. Teams don’t generally play a seven-match bilateral series. But teams also do not visit another country after 17 years (unless it is Pakistan). Nevertheless, both the teams will be raring to go and seal the series to gain momentum ahead of the T20 World Cup down under. All the multinational/ bilateral tournaments are counted more as a practice session towards the World Cup. However, the series do have their own importance and this series now has all the hype to talk about, considering the way it has unfolded. England might look strong on paper, but the teams have fared equally well on field. And Pakistan, in fact, have had an edge in more crucial situations. They have produced some excellent seamers from time to time and it has been profound in this series as well. But they will want to forget the last match when the English batters hammered everyone and chased a 170-run target in 14.3 overs. It will be interesting to see if Jos Buttler plays the decider, as Moeen Ali spilled the beans in the last match that we would not know until the start of the match. Mark Wood or Chris Woakes or both might play the last match to get more game time. For Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan and Haris Rauf, their best players in both the departments this series are quite a surety in the playing XI. Babar Azam getting amongst runs will also be a big boost for the hosts. However, this is not the end for both sides as Pakistan will be involved in a tri-series against Bangladesh and hosts New Zealand, whereas England will play three games against the World Cup hosts Australia. Squads: Pakistan: Squad: Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Haris(w), Shan Masood, Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shahnawaz Dahani, Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Usman Qadir, Abrar Ahmed England: Squad: Philip Salt(w), Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali(c), Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Richard Gleeson, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Tom Helm, Luke Wood, Jordan Cox Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.

Pak vs Eng Live Scores: England – 4, Pakistan – 3
Pakistan had inched ahead of the visitors after the fifth match, but England have shown their batting prowess in the last two games to bag back-to-back wins and claim the seven-match series in some style. The Pakistan bowlers were found answerless in the last two games and the middle order flaw is now completely unveiled, especially tonight after Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were dismissed in the first two overs.
England will be extremely happy with their performance that has come in the absence of some big guns including Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, and their latest captain Jos Buttler. The batters have shown amazing skills with the bat and the bowlers have also come together as a group, with each one of them delivering at crucial junctions. They will want Buttler to be back on the field, but for now, should cherish the series win.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
A leading edge off the bat of Mohammad Hasnain takes the ball closer to the extra-cover boundary but will be only two runs on the last ball of the innings. England have won the match by 67 runs and clinched the series in an emphatic manner in Lahore!
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Mohammad Wasim out:
Mohammad Wasim trying his luck with a ramp shot off David Willey, but misses it completely and the ball disturbs the furniture. Willey has his second of the night. Pakistan will want to end this misery as soon as possible.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Adil Rashid takes a brilliant catch:
Shan Masood has been dismissed after an elongated innings. An excellent catch by Adil Rashid fielding at short third man. Masood tries to slice again away from his body on the off side but doesn’t clear the fielder this time. Rashid dives to his right to complete a beautiful catch. Shan Masood 56(43) c Adil Rashid b Woakes
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
A wide delivery by Chris Woakes outside the off stump, Masood opens the face of the bat and slices it for four runs through the third man region.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Mohammad Wasim Jr hits and hits hard straight down the ground for four runs! The umpire had to show some moves to get out of the way. Wasim gets off the mark with a four.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
The short ball ploy has worked very well for Sam Curran this series. Mohammad Nawaz tries to pull it over the square leg fielder, but finds Chris Woakes in the deep. England inching closer to a brilliant series win away from home. Mohammad Nawaz 9(9) c Woakes b Sam Curran
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Fifty for Shan Masood. His second half-century of the series – a good start to the international career for the youngster. This delivery was played hard towards the mid-wicket region, but the sweeper in the deep made a good effort to cut it off ahead of the boundary cushions.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Shan Masood smashes Sam Curran through the extra-cover for four runs, inches closer to his half-century. Some late flurry from Pakistan batters.

Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
England bowlers just completing the formalities here. Stunned faces of the Pakistan coaching team sitting at the boundary line.

Pakistan fans are really disappointed with the team’s performance in such an important match. The crowd is leaving the stadium that was quite packed at the start of the match.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Asif Ali Out:
Asif Ali has been sent back to the pavilion. Short delivery by Woakes and once again takes the pace off the ball quite smartly. Asif tries to go for a maximum but only finds the deep square leg waiting to grab the catch. Topley didn’t have to move an inch. Asif Ali 7(9) c Topley b Woakes
Pak vs Eng Live Updates:
Woakes bowls a full toss down the leg side and Asif Ali swivels it between backward square and fine leg.
Pak vs Eng Live Updates:
Shan Masood is trying to slog it on the leg side but hasn’t been able to connect the bat to the ball really. Pakistan dealing in singles at the moment. Sam Curran has given away only six runs in the 14th over, including a leg bye.
Pakistan need 118 runs from 36 deliveries.
Pak vs Eng Live Updates:
Khushdil Shah is gone. Sharp work by Phil Salt behind the stumps. Adil Rashid bowls down the leg side, almost a wide. Khushdil tried to glance it but gets a faint edge to the wicket-keeper. The umpire denies at first, but raises his finger as soon as Salt asks Moeen Ali to go for a review. Khushdil then decides to challenge the umpire’s review reacting like he didn’t edge it. But the snicko showed a feather and Pakistan have lost their fourth wicket. Khushdil Shah 27(25) c Philip Salt b Adil Rashid
Pak vs Eng Live Updates:
Shan Masood hits a maximum! Some runs for Pakistan after a drought of boundaries. A ggogly on to the stumps and Masood slog-sweeps it over the mid-wicket for six runs.
Pak vs Eng Live Updates:
A rare boundary for Pakistan, coming after 13 deliveries. Short delivery by Reece Topley, gets a thick edge and moves past the wicket-keeper to boundary.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Khushdil Shah gets a boundary now. Sam Curran bowls a fast and short-pitched delivery at the left-hander. But Khsudil is well present, gets on the top of the bounce, and pulls it brilliantly between square leg and mid-wicket for four runs…
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Shan Masood has cleaned the mid-wicket boundary for a six! Rashid bowls a half-volley googly. Masood sits on his knees and swivels with full throttle, all the way for a six. Some sort of action shown by the Pakistan batters.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Another silent over for Pakistan. England inching ahead with each and every over to clinch the series here. Pakistan middle order being tested seriously now that the top order has collapsed.
Pakistan: 46/3 after 8 overs
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
A decent over by Adil Rashid. Just four runs of the over. No boundaries in last 13 balls. England will attack with spin from both ends now.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
England have not allowed Pakistan to get away in the powerplay. In fact, they have ensured that Paksitan do not have any feathers to fly after the end of powerplay overs.
Pakistan: 37/3 after 6 overs. Adil Rashid has been brought into the attack now.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Pakistan have lost their third wicket now. A slow bouncer and Iftikhar Ahmed only finds an edge to the wicket-keeper Phil Salt. A faint faint edge and the umpire doesn’t hesitate to raise his finger. Gloved the ball first, and then had an edge of the bat. England are all over the hosts now. Iftikhar Ahmed 19(16) c Philip Salt b David Willey
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Back to back boundaries for Iftikhar Ahmed. First, a short delivery on the legs glanced towards square leg for four runs. The next one, short of good length delivery, driven beautifully through the covers – more like wide of mid-off for four runs.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Another skier dropped! How many drops are we going to witness tonight? A short of a length delivery on middle and leg, and Iftikhar Ahmed tried to heave it on the leg side. But he is only able to get an top edge and sky it high in the air. Willey calls for the catch but puts it down. Buttery fingers for both sides tonight. England could have had their third wicket.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
That Babar Azam wicket delivery was 116 kmph. All the earlier deliveries by Woakes were around 135 kmph. Absolutely foxed the Pakistan skipper with that slower delivery and the short extra-cover in place.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Iftikhar Ahmed ends the second over with a four. The ball was drifting down the leg side and the batter swivels it easily towards the fine leg boundary.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Mohammad Rizwan out:
Mohammad Rizwan has been rumbled by an absolute beauty by Reece Topley. Almost a yorker that, Rizwan didn’t know how to play and only finds his stumps rattled. The Pakistan openers have been dismissed for a poultry score of five runs. Is that the match for England, or the middle order will step up tonight? Mohammad Rizwan 1(4) b Topley
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, Babar Azam out:
Pakistan have lost their skipper. A forgetful day for Babar Azam as he is dismissed for four runs – a very soft dismissal indeed. A full length delivery, welcoming the batter to drive. But England had placed a fielder at short extra-cover and he gets an easy catch. Babar Azam 4(4) c Harry Brook b Woakes
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
Babar Azam has the first boundary of the innings. A full-length delivery on the pads and Babar glances it beautifully through the on-side through the mid-wicket.
Pak vs Eng Live Update:
Some movement behind the sight screen and Rizwan is not happy with it. Stops Woakes in his run-up on the first ball itself.
Pak vs Eng Live Update:
Pakistan dropped multiple Dawid Malan catches and he has made full use of it. Pakistan need 210 runs to win and if they chase it down, it will be the highest chase at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
England openers had a blistering start but lost their way soon after the third over in the powerplay itself. Malan with an excellent support from Harry Brook has ensured that England bowlers have plenty to defend. Heavy burden of Pakistan openers to start the chase – considering they have been often criticized for poor strike rate.
The chase starts in a moment!
Pak vs Eng Live Scores:
England end their 20 overs with 209 runs on board! Dawid Malan, the star tonight with the bat, and Harry Brook has supported him in an amazing manner.
Pakistan need 210 runs to win the series….
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:
Harry Brook has one hit before the end of the innings! Slower delivery on the stumps and Brook heaves it over the bowler for a mammoth six.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:
A six and then a four! Malan is on fire… An yorker attempted by Wasim, but turns into a low full-toss. Malan swings and the thick outside-edge splits backward point and short third man for a boundary. Frustration for the fielding side.
Pak vs Eng Live Scores, last over slaughter:
Dawid Malan has started the last over with a bang. The backward square leg region has been favourite for the left-hander tonight. A slower off-cutter and Malan times it to perfection.
