England 77-1 (15 ovs) vs Pakistan | Scorecard

England not taking any chances here and playing the spinners nicely.

Bairstow and Root are keeping the scorebord moving with singles and the odd boundary.

Wasim continues and Root gets a single to long-on.

Bairstow also then jogs for a run after playing it to long-on.

Root then gets a single wide of cover and Bairstow makes it four off the over with a single to long-off.

Shadab is welcomed back with a boundary.

That ball was right in the slot and Bairstow uses all muscle to hammer it behind the bowler for a four.

He then smashes a ball to long on for a single. Root then gets a run to sweeper cover.

Bairstow plays out two dot balls to end the over.

Wasim continues and Root plays it to long on for a single.

Bairstow cuts but doesn't time it well enough to send it past point.

One run coming off the last ball and Wasim has given just 2 runs in the over.

Shabad Khan is brought into the attack and the spinner nearly gets the man. Root gets a leading edge and just falls short of Babar at short cover.

He then bowls easy deliveries gifting the batsmen easy runs.

Root latches on to the shot ball and pulls it for a boundary through the vacant mid-wicket region.

Wasim continues and both batsmen are happy to just play him around and run the singles and that is six singles off the over.

The rub of the green evidently going in favour of England here.

Raees continues and Pakistan nearly have the 2nd wicket.

Bairstow goes after the bowling, it's a short arm jab, the ball goes over Azhar Ali at mid-wicket. He gets his finger-tips to it and the ball goes to the ground.

Seven runs come off that unlucky over.
