Pakistan vs England LIVE: Cricket result and reaction as Babar and Rizwan complete historic run chase

England had no answer for a majestic 200-run partnership between centurion Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as Pakistan levelled their Twenty20 series 1-1 with a 10-wicket win in Karachi.

The tourists were more than happy after posting 199 for five, with captain Moeen Ali to the fore with 55 not out in 23 deliveries, but were comprehensively outclassed by the home side’s openers.

Babar made a mockery of questions over his scoring rate at the Asia Cup, hammering 110 not out 66 balls, and Rizwan smashed an unbeaten 88 as they shared nine sixes and 16 fours.

Here are the post match thoughts from England captain Moeen Ali:

Here’s the moment that Babar Azam knocked off the winning runs:

The series is set up perfectly now. Pakistan are level at 1-1 and the games come thick and fast. The third T20 is being played at the same time tomorrow.

That 203 run partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is the highest ever in international T20 cricket beating the 197 one set by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.

Pakistan win by 10 wickets! An incredible run chase is finished off by Babr Azam with a glorious cover drive through the in field for four runs!

The Pakistan supporters start to chant their captain’s name. They’ve made that chase look like a doddle. Fantastic batting that England had no answer to.

Massive hitting, exceptional running and great entertainment. Pakistan level the series at 1-1.

If Luke Wood can keep it tight then England have a chance. Rizwan takes one from the first delivery before Babar picks the gap on the legside and collect four runs!

After another single Wood responds with a slower delivery outside off stump but it’s pumped down the ground for another boundary!

Two awful deliveries from Luke Wood are sent very wide as pressure tells on the left-armer. He bowls straight and Rizwan chips the ball just over Moeen Ali at cover. The England captain gets a hand to the ball but drops it!

More wides from Wood – his third of the over – gives Rizwan one more ball to face and he bangs it over to deep midwicket for two.

Pakistan need just three from the last over. 17 runs came from that one.

100! Babar Azam celebrates as he brings up his second hundred in T20I cricket by working Sam Curran away to backward point for a single.

He’s the first Pakistani player to make two T20 hundreds in international cricket. His hundred comes off 62 balls but only four runs come from the over.

Can David Willey redeem himself a bit? He’s currently going at 13 runs an over. It won’t be easy as Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are seeing it like a beach ball now.

They’re controlling the game nicely now, knocking it into the legside and running hard. Willey keeps them to five runs from the first four balls before a full toss is spangled over the ropes for six by Babar!

12 runs from the over, 24 to win.
