Only T20I, England v Pakistan Twenty20 2019, 5 May 2019

SIX! That's it! Morgan rocks back and deposits this out of the park straight over the bowler's head and finishes this in style! England wins comfortably by seven wickets. Morgan is a rock in England's batting line-up and the veteran controlled this chase expertly. Pakistan was short of runs and a patchy performance by seamers who were a bit rusty costed them in the end. However, the focus now shifts on ODI cricket with the WorldCup around the corner. We hope to have your company on 8th May at 5 pm PST for the 1st ODI of the 5 match series. Goodnight!

19.1 - F Ashraf to E Morgan

Nailed away for a couple towards the cover region. And that's a half century for the English captain. 51 off 28!
