Alex Hales scored a half-century on his return to international cricket as England marked their first match in Pakistan for 17 years with a six-wicket T20 ...

The turning point came in the 15th over, as Brook played a brilliant ramp shot to send Shahnawaz Dahani's delivery over short fine leg for a boundary. The required run rate initially continued to rise as both Brook and Hales largely accepted working singles from Pakistan's spinners. There was a little bit of fortune too, as he was put down twice by Pakistan. Curran (1-30) and Gleeson 0-13) were both able to limit scoring opportunities. Rashid then took his second wicket as T20I debutant Shan Masood was caught attempting a reverse sweep. Alex Hales scored a half-century on his return to international cricket as England marked their first match in Pakistan for 17 years with a six-wicket T20 victory over the hosts.

England vs Pakistan T20 LIVE: Cricket score and updates from National Stadium Karachi.

England move 1-0 up in the seven game series. Harry Brook showed a lot of confidence and that looks great for the future.” The opener cracked 53 in 40 balls on his first England outing since March 2019, when he was jettisoned in the aftermath of a failed recreational drugs test, and marked the end of his spell in the wilderness by leading the way in a six-wicket success. England had earlier done well to restrict the hosts to 158 for seven in front of a sell-out 35,000 crowd at Karachi’s National Stadium, with debutant Luke Wood claiming an impressive three for 24. Just six more runs needed to win. It wasn’t easy for the batters coming in.

England, touring Pakistan after almost 17 years, began their campaign on a rousing note, registering a commanding six-wicket win over the hosts in the ...

The boundaries dried up for Pakistan after the loss of the first wicket as the England bowlers put up a disciplined display. After the 85-run opening stand was broken, England put a leash on the scoring and Pakistan lost their rhythm. A lot of praise to the bowlers who set it up nicely for our batters. They didn’t really get the big hits but managed to find the gaps to put on 51 without loss in the six Powerplay overs. Asked to bat first, Pakistan ended up with a below-par score of 158/7 despite having a good start, with Mohammad Rizwan being the top-scorer with 68 off 46 balls. The duo didn’t click as per expectations in the recent Asia Cup, where Pakistan finished runners-up.

Hales could have been dismissed on 28 when Shan Masood dropped a simple chance at long on, but instead he was able to prove his class with a ninth international T20 half century.
