HIGHLIGHTS

  • 23:44 (IST)

    OUT! Full, reversing back in, 140kph. Surely a 19-year-old debutant - even as good as Haider Ali's been - isn't meant to keep these out. Haider goes for 54.

  • 23:39 (IST)

    Hafeez's absolutely enjoying batting with the youngster and they're competing in a way. Hafeez steps out and lofts Rashid over his head for a maximum before a flat sweep in the gap at deep square leg gets him his second consecutive fifty! He's under pressure to perform and boy is he pulling out the stops. Pakistan are 130/2.

  • 23:31 (IST)

    Fifty! Haider Ali picks the short length and pulls it to square leg for a boundary and that's his half century. He's beaten both the sweepers on the boundary. Fantastic knock from the young man. Pakistan are 108/2 after 12 overs. 

  • 23:08 (IST)

    SIX! Haider Ali's taken Lewis Gregory on first ball and picked him up from the legs and he's sent him into the stands for a 80m six. What a shot from the young man. 

  • 23:00 (IST)

    Four and Four! Haider Ali's decided this is his show today in Old Trafford. He looks to pull hard but gets a streaky edge through to fine leg first before connecting with the pull and sends it past the short fine for a second consecutive boundary. Fantastic batting from the youngster on his debut. Pakistan 47/2 after 6 overs with the very experienced Hafeez and debutant Haider Ali in the middle.

  • 22:52 (IST)

    OUT! England strike again as Tom Curran goes through gates of Babar Azam and disturbs the wood work. Babar gone for 21 and Pakistan are 32/2. 

  • 22:43 (IST)

    Four! Now Babar Azam's joining the party. Opens his stance and has creamed Mahmood through the mid off. Pakistan despite the early wicket are moving well on a flat track. 

  • 22:39 (IST)

    SIX! Young Haider Ali has absolutely creamed that! Goes down on one knee and picks Moeen Ali through the midwicket and long on region and straight into the stands. Fearless cricket!  

  • 22:37 (IST)

    Bowled!! Straight up. Moeen Ali strikes gold off his first ball as England have an early wicket. Fakhar Zaman b Moeen Ali 1(3). Absolute peach of a delivery. Pakistan 2/1.

  • 22:04 (IST)

    Toss: England have won the toss and chosen to field first once again. Morgan keen to chase again. "It looks a little bit drier but still good," he says of the pitch. England are unchanged again

  • 21:25 (IST)

    We're about half an hour away from the toss and the forecast today evening is clear thankfully. Both sides will no doubt bring their A game to the table as they round off the tour. England take on Australia after this before all eyes turn to UAE for the IPL. 

23:44 (IST)

OUT! Full, reversing back in, 140kph. Surely a 19-year-old debutant - even as good as Haider Ali's been - isn't meant to keep these out. Haider goes for 54.

23:39 (IST)

Hafeez's absolutely enjoying batting with the youngster and they're competing in a way. Hafeez steps out and lofts Rashid over his head for a maximum before a flat sweep in the gap at deep square leg gets him his second consecutive fifty! He's under pressure to perform and boy is he pulling out the stops. Pakistan are 130/2.

23:35 (IST)

Hafeez also making good use of the surface as he picks Tom Curran from outside the off stump for a maximum. Nine of the over takes Pakistan to 117/2. 

23:31 (IST)

Fifty! Haider Ali picks the short length and pulls it to square leg for a boundary and that's his half century. He's beaten both the sweepers on the boundary. Fantastic knock from the young man. Pakistan are 108/2 after 12 overs. 

23:25 (IST)

16 runs of Rashid's second over as Hafeez takes charge and smashes two sixes one after the other. Sweeps him through midwicket both times with the second landing outside the stadium. Pakistan are 100/2 after 11 overs.

23:20 (IST)

Haider Ali sticks to his attacking shots and mishits one but Sam Billings has not judged it well and it's given the youngster another boundary. Gregory and Morgan won't be happy. The over has costed them 7 and Pakistan are 84/2 after 10 overs. 

23:15 (IST)

Haider Ali works the first three deliveries of the over for a couple of twos and a single before Hafeez pounces on a short one and hammers it away through point for four. Pakistan 77/2 after 9 overs.

23:12 (IST)

12 runs from that over including the six. Hafeez and Haider Ali batting brilliantly here and giving England quite a few headaches. After 8 overs, Pakistan are 66/2 and Adil Rashid is coming into the attack

23:08 (IST)

SIX! Haider Ali's taken Lewis Gregory on first ball and picked him up from the legs and he's sent him into the stands for a 80m six. What a shot from the young man. 

23:06 (IST)

Seven runs from Curran's over as Hafeez joins the boundary hitting act with a crisp pull through midwicket. Three more singles other than that take Pakistan to 54/2 after 7 overs. 

23:00 (IST)

Four and Four! Haider Ali's decided this is his show today in Old Trafford. He looks to pull hard but gets a streaky edge through to fine leg first before connecting with the pull and sends it past the short fine for a second consecutive boundary. Fantastic batting from the youngster on his debut. Pakistan 47/2 after 6 overs with the very experienced Hafeez and debutant Haider Ali in the middle.

22:56 (IST)

FOUR! Magnificent. Full and fired at Haider Ali's pads, who shows no mercy and whacks it with grace and flair over mid-wicket. Pakistan 37/2 after 5 overs. 

22:52 (IST)

OUT! England strike again as Tom Curran goes through gates of Babar Azam and disturbs the wood work. Babar gone for 21 and Pakistan are 32/2. 

22:49 (IST)

Good first over from Chris Jordan as he ties up the batsmen a little. No room and good pace forces Babar and Haider to look for the ones and twos. Pakistan are 32/1 after 4 overs. 

22:45 (IST)

Babar Azam picks off three boundaries of that over, the third one is a dab through to third man - a deft touch from the skipper. Pakistan scoring briskly and are 27/1 after 3 overs. 

22:44 (IST)

Four! Consecutive fours for Pakistan's captain. This wasn't all that short, but Azam went very deep in his crease and pulled it across the line. Didn't get it off the middle but it beats mid-wicket and this outfield is very quick. Races away to the boundary

22:43 (IST)

Four! Now Babar Azam's joining the party. Opens his stance and has creamed Mahmood through the mid off. Pakistan despite the early wicket are moving well on a flat track. 

22:42 (IST)

Here's why you should pay attention to the young Haider Ali. 

22:40 (IST)

That's the wicket again! 

22:39 (IST)

SIX! Young Haider Ali has absolutely creamed that! Goes down on one knee and picks Moeen Ali through the midwicket and long on region and straight into the stands. Fearless cricket!  

22:37 (IST)

Bowled!! Straight up. Moeen Ali strikes gold off his first ball as England have an early wicket. Fakhar Zaman b Moeen Ali 1(3). Absolute peach of a delivery. Pakistan 2/1.

22:34 (IST)

Quiet start from Pakistan as Saqib Mahmood's on the money and at good pace, almost manages to dismiss Fakhar off the last ball. Pakistan 2/0 after the first over. 

22:30 (IST)

We are all set to start in the third T20I in Old Trafford. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman will look to start well once again. 

22:10 (IST)

Pakistan makes as many as three changes. 19-year-old Haider Ali makes his T20I debut while Sarfaraz Ahmed and Wahab Riaz also make a comeback to the team.

22:08 (IST)

Pakistan: Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w), Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf

England: Eoin Morgan(c),Tom Banton, Jonny Bairstow(w), Dawid Malan, Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Lewis Gregory, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood

22:04 (IST)

Toss: England have won the toss and chosen to field first once again. Morgan keen to chase again. "It looks a little bit drier but still good," he says of the pitch. England are unchanged again

21:55 (IST)

Almost time for the toss. Babar Azam and Eoin Morgan to walk out in sunny Manchester. 

21:39 (IST)

Beautiful sights indeed! 

21:31 (IST)

Pakistan head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq should not have reacted the way he did during England's chase in the first T20I between the two sides, according to former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq. "During the fifth over of England innings, when Pakistan were bowling their Powerplay overs and had conceded 40-45 runs, the camera kept showing Misbah and he had his hands on his head, which suggested that something really bad happened," Inzamam said in his Youtube channel.  "There were still 155-160 runs to go, the match could have gone in anyone's favour, but you are sending a message that suggests that you have done something wrong. You can have a proper discussion after the game, but if you respond like this during the match, then this will have a bad effect on the team," he further added.

21:25 (IST)

We're about half an hour away from the toss and the forecast today evening is clear thankfully. Both sides will no doubt bring their A game to the table as they round off the tour. England take on Australia after this before all eyes turn to UAE for the IPL.

England vs Pakistan, Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20I at Manchester Live Updates:Hafeez's absolutely enjoying batting with the youngster and they're competing in a way. Hafeez steps out and lofts Rashid over his head for a maximum before a flat sweep in the gap at deep square leg gets him his second consecutive fifty! He's under pressure to perform and boy is he pulling out the stops. Pakistan are 130/2.

Preview: England are in with a golden chance to win their sixth T20I series on the trot, having a lead of 1-0 over Pakistan in the ongoing series. On Tuesday, the two teams will meet again, and hosts England will look to extend their winning run on the tour, where they haven't lost a single match. Putting things into perspective further, it has been over two years since England lost a T20I series and they appear primed to add to their winning streak. With the first match having been washed out, Pakistan, the current No.4-ranked side in the ICC T20I Team Rankings, will look to find ways to counter the potent England batting order in a bid to level the series. After their bowling fell short in the second T20I with Mohammad Amir getting injured, they might want to go in with veteran Wahab Riaz. Also, if they decide to give Shaheen Shah Afridi some rest, who has played all the matches on this tour, the 20-year-old Mohammad Hasnain might also be an option to consider. On the other hand, England would like to make changes in their weak-looking bowling attack and go in with David Willey, who was in senstional form against the Irish. While the first T20I had to be abandoned mid-way due to rain, the second was played under mostly clear skies and the forecast looks promising for the series finale as well. Another run-fest might be on the cards in Manchester.

Eoin Morgan (England captain): "The last two years in international cricket are my best numbers to date. That's great because if I can combine a little of that [form] with my experience, I think that will go a long way to winning games."

Babar Azam (Pakistan captain): "We stuck to our plans while batting, but we couldn't bowl well. Credit to Malan and Morgan for the way they played."
