Full commentary

So that's a fine win for Pakistan who were never really troubled. Their bowlers restricted England excellently and, though their top-order struggled, Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Hafeez took them home with typically aggressive, commanding knocks. We'll be back live for the first one-dayer at Cardiff on Wednesday. Do join us then

17.5
4
Gough to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR runs

smashes this high in the air, long-on sprints back to the boundary and dives...but can't hold on and, as if to rub further salt into his wounds, it goes for four to end the match

17.4
4
Gough to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR runs

times this over the infield, over cover, and the scores are level

17.3
Gough to Abdul Razzaq, no run

whacked to Stuart Broad at mid-off

17.3
1w
Gough to Abdul Razzaq, 1 wide

outside off, Razzaq swings and misses - and it's called a wide! That's a bit tough on Gough who shakes his head and wears the most wry of smiles

Go on, finish it with a six

17.2
Gough to Abdul Razzaq, no run

pushed off the back foot but straight to extra cover

17.1
1
Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, 1 run

attempted yorker but it's timed on the full by Inzamam to the leg side

16.6
4
PD Collingwood to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR runs

short, slow, and cracked over midwicket for four! Dreadful bowling

16.5
4
PD Collingwood to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR runs

slower ball which Razzaq reads and clobbers it, opening the face, over cover. Super shot

16.4
1
PD Collingwood to Inzamam-ul-Haq, 1 run

flicked wristily from outside the off stump to fine leg, beautifully played

16.3
PD Collingwood to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run

Inzamam misses out here, completely misreading the slower ball

16.2
1
PD Collingwood to Abdul Razzaq, 1 run

very fluently driven past the diving midwicket, but Dalrymple fields it coming round from long-off

PD Collingwood to Inzamam-ul-Haq, 1 run

short, and very slow, allowing Inzamam to tickle it fine for a single

15.6
W
Gough to Hafeez, OUT

inswinging yorker once more, but it's wide and chipped to Collingwood at backward point, who mis-fields it and the ball bobbles up. He collects, takes aim and throws down the stumps to leave Hafeez short by several feet. Brilliant fielding

Mohammad Hafeez run out (Collingwood) 46 (40b 5x4 0x6 70m) SR: 115
15.5
Gough to Hafeez, no run

super inswinging yorker there from Gough - very nearly breaks through Hafeez's defences but he jams his bat down. That's the Gough of old...

15.4
1lb
Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, 1 leg bye

too quick for Inzamam who is beaten by pace and hit on the pad. They run a quick single though

15.3
Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run

well bowled in the corridor of uncertainty, Inzamam flicks and misses

15.2
Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run

good reply, swinging into Inzamam who clips it to point. No run on offer there

15.1
6
Gough to Inzamam-ul-Haq, SIX runs

Inzamam simply swings through the line, timing it perfectly and smashing it commandingly over long-on. Fabulous shot!

Here comes Darren, puffing out his chest. Slip in place

14.6
4
PD Collingwood to Hafeez, FOUR runs

shot! Full toss from Collingwood, and a slow one at that, and Hafeez flicks it down to the vacant fine leg for four. Neat stroke

14.5
PD Collingwood to Hafeez, no run

slower ball, Hafeez tries to pull it but inside-edges it into his pad and it barely misses his leg stump. Very, very close indeed
