- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 well, third time unlucky. Another shortish ball, another ugly swipe, finds the top edge and sails comfortably to Denly at deep square-leg. The bowling change worked and Nazir seemed to get frustrated very quickly. 9/14.6 well, it looked like an easy single, as it was pushed off the back foot to Pietersen, who swiftly fielded and under-armed it on to the stumps at the non-strikers end. Very smart work from Pietersen, seemed to surprise everyone 20/26.2 Wright strikes! And the bowling change has worked again. Fullish ball and Latif has a firm-footed swish outside off stump and edges it through to Prior 26/38.3 oh great catch! Swann strikes and Umar has gone! Just outside off stump, Umar flashes a cut and Broad flies from short-third man to his left and plucks it out of the air at full stretch. Swann the first-over king strikes again in his first over 39/414.2 another one goes, and Swann strikes in the first over of a spell again, as Malik chips limply to midwicket to bring a soft end to a promising innings 86/517.3 gone, Broad gets another wicket with a short ball as Alam gets a thin top edge through to Prior...he'd played a useful hand, but England keep chipping away 106/618.6 well, England's planning is certainly working tonight, another slower-ball short delivery, Razzaq backs away and tries to guide it past third man but Broad dives forward and takes another good catch 119/818.3 a wicket with a short, wide ball that hardly deserved it, but that's Twenty20...Sarfraz saw width and guided it straight to third man as though giving catching practice 115/7Extras3 (lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL129/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Did not bat: Saeed AjmalFall of wickets: 1-9 (Imran Nazir, 3.4 ov), 2-20 (Imran Farhat, 4.6 ov), 3-26 (Khalid Latif, 6.2 ov), 4-39 (Umar Akmal, 8.3 ov), 5-86 (Shoaib Malik, 14.2 ov), 6-106 (Fawad Alam, 17.3 ov), 7-115 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 18.3 ov), 8-119 (Abdul Razzaq, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 Trott's gone! Razzaq strikes! Good tight line outside off, Trott plays a bit of a nothing shot trying to guide it down to third man, only ends up inside-edging on to off stump 10/21.5 ideal for Pakistan as Denly fails again! Tries to force it straight back down the ground but gets an inside edge that shoots straight to the short-midwicket fielder. Almost paid the price for trying to be too technically correct. 7/14.2 Gone! Collingwood departs and Pakistan are on fire! Pietersen clipped it neatly towards the deep midwicket region, Collingwood called for a second but the throw came in to the bowlers end and, despite a dive, he wasn't back in time 18/3Extras15 (b 1, lb 5, w 9)TOTAL130/3 (18.3 Overs, RR: 7.02)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (JL Denly, 1.5 ov), 2-10 (IJL Trott, 2.4 ov), 3-18 (PD Collingwood, 4.2 ov)
