Pakistan bowlers have managed to rattle through the top order of the England batting lineup and have them struggling at 86/4 at the end of 10 overs.
Shaheen Afridi took the wicket of Jonny Bairstow in the very first over of the innings. Dawid Malan followed a short while later as Fakhar Zaman took a wonderful catch of Imad Wasim’s bowling. Tom Banton and skipper Eoin Morgan were beginning to take control of the chase when Pakistan picked up the wickets of both the batsmen within just 4 runs under 2 overs.
BIG wicket for Haris Rauf! 🙌 #ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/nHSxnM3SIy

The presence of experienced Moeen Ali and in form Sam Billings will keep the hopes alive for England, however it would take a spectacular chase for England to snatch victory of Pakistan’s hands.
