Incredible batting.
As the commentator himself saying, Liam Dawson has been always been around in England's limited-overs team but hardly gets an opportunity. Today he's played an absolute stunner!
Impressive from Mohammad Hasnain !!!
Mohammad Wasim Jr gets rid off Harry Brook who is out caught by Mohammad Hasnain! The slower ball sticks into the surface and that gave the batter no pace to work with. The pick-up shot doesn't work and the catch is taken at fine leg. Harry Brook is gone for 34 off 29 balls
Nawaz strikes once again and breaks the partnership! Moeen went for the huge swing and ball went under his bat and crashed into the stumps. Moeen Ali is gone for 29 off 20. Score after 14 overs, ENG: 108/5 | 59 runs needed off 36 balls.
Moeen Ali slams two sixes and a four off Nawaz and that results in 19 from the over. Just the kick England wanted.
