England provides stiff resistance to Pakistan
With impactful batting cameos, middleorder batter Harry Brook (in pic) helped England mount a stiff resistance to Pakistan in a seven-match T20I series in Pakistan.
England took a 2-1 series lead before Mohammad Rizwan (■■ runs) and Haris Rauf (three wickets) excelled with bat and ball, respectively, to help Pakistan level the series with three matches to go.
In the first match, Brook scored a 25ball 42 (unbeaten) to take England home in the final over. In the third, he cracked a 35-ball ■1 (unbeaten) as England piled on a mammoth 221 for 3 which eventually led to a 63-run win.
The second T20I was won by the home team, Babar Azam and Rizwan combining for a partnership of 203 — also unbeaten — for a 10-wicket win. Babar contributed 110 runs. It was the fifthhighest partnership in all T20IS.
