England vs Pakistan Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - ODI Commentary

End of Over : 50.0 ENG: 373/3

So 374 to get from the 50 overs. Pakistan have a huge task in hand and they will need to be at their brilliant best. England batters have done their job and the onus will now be on their bowlers now. Second innings begins in a while. So join us for that one.

As for Pakistan's bowling, there was not much to tell. When a team scores in excess of 350 it is an obvious thing that bowler's would be taken to the cleaners. Ali, Afridi and Yasir Shah were amongst the wickets column but they all went in excess of 6 runs in an over and there was not much to talk about.

The innings started off positively for England with both the opener's Roy and Bairstow getting to their respective fifties. The opener's added a mammoth 115-run stand for the opening wicket. Bairstow then departed however Root and Roy continued the good work. There was a slight break due to rain. Pakistan though benefited from it and got rid of Jason Roy and Joe Root. Pakistan though could not capitalize on it. Buttler along with his skipper added 162-run stand off just 89 balls. The right-hander was the man in charge. Though Morgan got his fifty quickly but it was Buttler who stole the show. He started from ball one and got to his 100 off just 51 balls.

Jos Buttler walks of to a standing ovation from the crowd and he is being congratulated from the Pakistan players. His carnage of 110 off just 55 balls has seen England post 373.

Shaheen Afridi to Jonny Bairstow. OUT! In the air... and that is a brilliant, brilliant catch. Bairstow can't believe it and nor can we as Pakistan have been extremely poor in the field today. The change of angle for Afridi and the change of bowling for Pakistan has worked wonders. A much-needed wicket for Pakistan. Shaheen comes around the wicket and bowls it short and on the body. Bairstow pulls it hard but hits it a little too flat. Zaman at deep square leg, runs to his right, then leaps, tries to take it reverse cup but the ball pops out but he keeps his eyes on it and hangs on in the second attempt. 50 and out for JB and Shaheen is delighted. Pakistan now need to build on this.

18.5 4

Shaheen Afridi to Jonny Bairstow. FOUR! Poor, poor bowling! A freebie for Bairstow to get to his half ton. 9th in ODIs! He would love to make it a big one here. This is short and down the leg side, JB helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary.

DRINKS BREAK. Business as usual for England. Bat first, score quick, keep scoring quicker and pile on pressure on the opposition. In form, both Roy and Bairstow are devastating. Pakistan would want a wicket soon, though they might rue the run out chance missed of Bairstow.

Sarfaraz screams his lungs out but the umpire stays unperturbed. The ball goes to short fine leg and the batsmen take a leg bye. The keeper and bowler have a chat and decide to take the review. Hawk Eye shows the ball to be clipping leg stump.

Huge LBW shout! Not given! Is Bairstow in trouble? Pakistan review. Looks to be missing leg...

14.1 0

Imad Wasim to Jason Roy. SAFE! Imad has made a mess of a simple run out chance. Full and around middle, Roy comes down the track and looks to flick but misses. The ball goes off his pads towards backward point and Roy takes a couple of steps but is not sure where the ball has gone. Bairstow jogs right down the track and is almost within handshaking distance to Jason. He has to turn back and a run out is on offer. The throw comes in a good pace to Imad and the bails are off but the first thing we hear from Sarfaraz is 'KYA YAAR!' Replays show why as Imad appeals and celebrates. Before the throw comes in, Wasim disturbs the bails with his left hand. What a reprieve for Jonny. He was not even in the frame before he dived after the throw came in.

Run out? Or missed out? Looks like Imad has broken the stumps with his hand.

Imad Wasim to Jason Roy. 50-RUN STAND IS UP! Terrific start from England.

Roy comes down the track and works it wide of mid on for a quick single. The fielder has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses. Roy has now skipper past Bairstow.

Shaheen Afridi to Jonny Bairstow. FOUR! Probably the easiest ball of the over for YJB to hit. A half-tracker, right in the middle of the pitch.

Shaheen Afridi to Jonny Bairstow. FOUR! Second one of the over. But not a bad ball. Dug in short, outside leg, a bit of a tester from Bairstow but he reacts well. He gets back and across to pull, is cramped for room but manages it to get it off the glove through the vacant fine leg region.

Faheem Ashraf to Jason Roy. SIX! Gets out of jail! The release shot from Roy comes out at last and one won't die wondering. He is not a block-all-balls batsman and eventually connects one. Steps down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and bang. Swings it cleanly over long on. First maximum of the day. That is the case with Bairstow and Roy. 3 overs 9, can quickly become 6 overs 50.

Again, he is early into the shot and another leading edge is induced. It is uppish and goes back to the bowler and Afridi sticks out his left hand. But the ball is just wide. Escapes past him and goes down the ground. Two runs taken. Roy is searching for some time in the middle. The bowling has been very good. Nothing loose so far.

Another change in the field. Fine leg comes up, square leg goes back.

Hello and welcome to the 2nd ODI between England and Pakistan in this 5-match series. After a wash out in the first game, we certainly expect a better day today, though there is the prediction of intermittent showers. At one side we have hosts who are eager to test their strength and keep their momentum running after a victory in the T20 game, while the visitors would be keen get a win up against their name and prove their worth. Jofra Archer already have eyes on him and he will be having great confidence after his spell in London. It's a mouth-watering clash, so sit back and relax while we bring you the coverage of this vital ODI match.

End of Over : 50.0 PAK: 361/7

So that is it from this game! There are still three more matches to go though. The next one will be played on the 14th of May at 1300 local (1200 GMT). Will Pakistan level the series or will England take an unassailable lead? We'll have to wait to find out. Till then take care and goodbye!

Jos Buttler has been awarded the Man of the Match for his scintillating 110* off just 55 balls.

So just like we mentioned in the first innings, not a lot can be said about a team which concedes above 350. However, there is a stand out for the hosts and it was David Willey. It was probably his spell towards the end which won the game for them. On a day where most of the bowlers went for more than 6 per over, he went at under it and got two crucial wickets.

After Buttler's magnificent ton and handful contributions from the English top order, the hosts managed to get to a total which all thought England would defend quite easily. That was not the case though. The Pakistan openers got their team off to a brilliant start. Imam fell but Babar Azam then continued with Zaman. The right-hander got to yet another fifty and Zaman got to a brilliant ton. When the two were batting, Pakistan were favourites. However, they fell in quick succession and then a collapse seemed on the cards. Asif Ali, who got a life at the very start of his innings, struck some lusty blows. He along with his skipper, got his team back into the game. They needed 53 in the last 5 overs but wickets at regular intervals and some brilliant bowling ensured it is the hosts who finish on top.

WOW! Amazing game! A complete run fest. It is England who came out on top in the end but Pakistan surely gave them a run for their money. At once, it also seemed they would get over the line but some exceptional death bowling saw the hosts take a 1-0 lead in the series.

49.2 1

Chris Woakes to Hasan Ali. Outside off and full again, Hasan swings but it goes off the bottom towards a very fine short third man. A single. A little to the left or the right and it would have been a boundary. 15 in 4, need a boundary do Pakistan.

The new man in is Hasan Ali.

48.5 W

Liam Plunkett to Faheem Ashraf. OUT! Plunkett gets another. A very full delivery on off, Faheem hits it high up in the air towards mid off where Stokes calls for it and then takes it. He may not have been expecting the short one there and hence, could not get the timing.

48.4 1

Liam Plunkett to Sarfaraz Ahmed. Pakistan are dealing in singles when boundary is the need of the hour. Continues bowling it short, it is pulled through mid-wicket for one.

48.3 1

48.2 3

Liam Plunkett to Sarfaraz Ahmed. In the air... but safe! A short ball on middle, Sarfaraz fails to get on top of the bounce, he only gets a top edge but it lands safe towards deep square leg.

Adil Rashid to Sarfaraz Ahmed. FOUR! Brilliant from Sarfaraz! He makes room and Rashid bowls the googly on off, it turns back in. Sarfaraz goes against the turn, inside out and over covers for a boundary. 6 from the first two. This has to be a big over.

45.5 2

David Willey to Imad Wasim. Overthrow! Bonus runs for England and they would need them. This is slapped towards mid off. Plunkett there dives to his right and stops it. He throws it towards the bowler off balance. It is a wayward one. Willey fails to collect it and an extra run is taken. Two in total.

The new man in is Imad Wasim.

45.4 W

David Willey to Asif Ali. OUT! Ali holes out. This over keeps getting better for the hosts. Just 2 from the first three balls and now the wicket of the dangerous Ali. Very full and on off, Ali looks to go over long off this time but does not get the desired elevation. It goes straight to Stokes who takes it and then tumbles onto the ground. 51 in 26 needed and only the bowling all-rounders to come. Asif Ali's wicket was probably the one which turns the tide completely into England's favour.

45.1 0

David Willey to Asif Ali. Just short! A yorker outside off, Asif Ali looks to jam it out but misses. Buttler seems to have taken it on the bounce. Actually that had been taken but the sound there was of the bat hitting the ground and not the ball. A dot though.

End of Over : 42 13 Runs PAK: 296/4
41.6 1

Liam Plunkett to Sarfaraz Ahmed. Good fielding! That could have easily been a boundary. A poor ball, it is short and down the leg side with fine leg up. Sarfaraz works it to that region where Root runs to his right and stops it with a slide. Still 13 from the over, 78 needed in 48.

41.5 1

Liam Plunkett to Asif Ali. A single now! This is whipped through the leg side towards deep mid-wicket. Willey runs around and fumbles but no extra run conceded.

41.4 4

Liam Plunkett to Asif Ali. FOUR! This is turning out be a very expensive over. 11 from it with two balls to go. It is the slower one and outside off, Ali slaps it past mid on and the ball races away.

41.4 wd

Liam Plunkett to Asif Ali. Second wide of the over! This one is for a delivery which is way outside off.

41.3 1

Skipper, Sarfaraz Ahmed is the new man in.

39.1 W

Liam Plunkett to Haris Sohail. OUT! Top edge... taken! Plunkett strikes with his first ball of his new spell. Just what the doctor ordered for England. A partnership forming between the two batters and it has been cut short just at the right time. This is banged in short and around off, Sohail looks to slap it but ends up slicing it towards Bairstow at sweeper cover who takes an easy catch. 100 more needed in 65 balls.

Liam Plunkett is on now!

End of Over : 39 7 Runs PAK: 274/3

Adil Rashid to Haris Sohail. Sohail strokes it through covers for one.

37.3 1

Adil Rashid to Asif Ali. DROPPED! That should have been taken. Willey is the culprit. This could prove a big let off. Rashid is not a happy man and rightly so.

Willey runs in and tries to take it with a dive forward but spills it.

37.2 0

Haris Sohail is the new man in.

33.5 W

Adil Rashid to Babar Azam. OUT! Caught and bowled! Both the set batsmen are out of here. Just what England wanted and not what Pakistan would have wanted. A lucky dismissal to be honest this one. It is a nothing delivery, it is very short and on off, it skids through. Azam goes back and looks to drag his pull but the ball hits the higher portion of the bat and lobs back to the bowler who accepts a dolly. Two wickets in quick succession have put Pakistan totally on the back foot here.

33.1 2

Adil Rashid to Babar Azam. Shorter and outside off, it is slapped through covers for a single.

Asif Ali walks out at number 4.

End of Over : 33 7 Runs PAK: 227/2
32.6 W

Chris Woakes to Fakhar Zaman. OUT! That is right off the toe-end of the bat. Excellent, excellent review from Morgan. The magnificent innings by Fakhar Zaman has come to an end and England will be relieved as he was taking the game away from them. Woakes continues bowling it way too wide outside off, this one was very wide just inside the tramline though. Zaman still tries to reach it but there is a noise as the ball passes the bat. Buttler collects it and just puts in a muted appeal. Woakes though thinks there is something and he puts in a loud appeal. Morgan then reviews. Replays roll in and they show a spike on Ultra Edge. The English players are pumped up. England back on top now. 147 needed in 102.

Review time! An appeal for a caught behind has been turned down. Morgan has reviewed. There was a sound there.
