ENG beat PAK by 54 runs | England vs Pakistan, Highlights And Cricket Score 5th ODI Match - Commentary

If momentum is anything in sports, it's currently with Pakistan. They will be delighted with their performance in the last section of the innings and would like to carry that forward into their chase. The touring party has been doing quite a decent job with the bat and a target of 352 against an inconsistent English bowling attack looks pretty much gettable. Should be a riveting chase. Do join us in a short while.

The bowling and fielding were abysmal again from Pakistan. But once their bowlers started to pull things back, we witnessed some excellent death bowling and a few brilliant stops in the field. Shaheen Afridi picked the most number of wickets, i.e. 4 but the standout bowler for Pakistan was Imad Wasim. He snapped 3 wickets by conceding just 53 runs and played a big role in restricting England during that period post the 35th over mark.

Starting from the start, it was yet another usual start from the home team. Their openers wasted no time in attacking the Pakistan bowlers. The way they were going hammer and tongs, the social media was buzzing with a total of 500 for England. But, the English batsmen kept on throwing their wickets after getting starts and due to that the charge needed in the death overs never came. Eventually, it was Tom Curran's cameo with the bat that forced England's total past the 350-run mark.

351/9 is a big score and also reflects on the bowling of a team. But what it doesn't tell is the comeback that the bowling team made. England were going great guns since the beginning and the century stand between Root and Morgan further stamped their dominance. The latter departed in the 30th over, followed by the wicket of the former in the 36th over and that was the point from where the visiting team made a superb comeback. Given the firepower that England have in their batting, conceding less than a hundred in the last 15 overs is a commendable effort from Pakistan.

Hasan Ali to Tom Curran. Another excellent yorker on middle, Curran can only manage to jam it out towards the leg side by bringing his bat down in time. Only a run can be picked up. ENGLAND FINISH WITH 351/9!

Picks up another valuable boundary.

Hasan Ali to Tom Curran. SIX! Hammered right back over the bowler's head for a flat six. A length ball, slower in pace, Curran reads it and picks the bones out of that one. The poor sightscreen has to bear the brunt of that shot.

Stokes takes on the challenge to pull it into the stand at long on but fails to generate enough power behind his shot. The ball balloons in the air and Fakhar Zaman moves swiftly across to his left from long on to complete the catch safely.

Hasan Ali to Ben Stokes. FOUR! Whacked! It's not a bad delivery, just a fraction short of the blockhole, Stokes uses the depth of his crease and then clears his front leg before whipping it to the wide long on fence.

Mohammad Hafeez to Chris Woakes. DROPPED! That was a return catch and it has been put down. A flatter one on off, Woakes pushes the ball back to the right of the bowler. Hafeez should have really taken that one, it was a regulation catch even though he had to move a little to his right. The ball goes through his hands and for a single down to long on. Pakistan's poor catching in this series continues!

Mohammad Hafeez to Ben Stokes. Flatter on off, punched to deep cover for a single.

Chris Woakes is the new batsman. He is no mug with the bat, in fact, no one is mug with the bat in this England's deep bating line-up with Adil Rashid slotted to bat at number 11. That's some luxury.

Imad Wasim to Moeen Ali. OUT! Three reds and Moeen Ali has to depart. He will take the review along with him as well. He has been caught plumb in front, missing a pretty straightforward off spinner by playing down the wrong line. A flatter off spinner landing outside off and spinning into the southpaw, Moeen looks to push the ball down the ground but misses the line completely. He does not get bat on it and gets rapped in front of the wickets. The appeal comes up and so does the finger after a bit of thinking. Moeen reviews in hope but it does not save him as the replays show us he was a dead duck. Third wicket for Imad, he is being a hero here.

Ali has been adjudged LBW here but he has reviewed. It looked pretty adjacent to the naked eye. Will height be a factor?

Imad Wasim to Moeen Ali. Fired in wide outside off, Ali looks to reach the ball and drive it but fails to put bat on ball.

Moeen Ali is the new batsman.

Imad Wasim to Jos Buttler. OUT! Big wicket! Huge moment in the game! This could be the difference between a 360 and a 400! Shorter one outside off, Buttler looks to cut it but fails to keep the ball down. It flies to the left of point where Abid Ali reaches out and holds on to a sharp catch. This could be Pakistan's big opportunity to come back and limit England to a total that they can realistically chase down with Buttler gone and two relatively new men out in the middle.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. On the shorter side once more, Buttler tucks it through square leg for a single. Another decent over for the visitors, just 5 off it.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. Good running! Short of a length ball on off, Buttler mistimes his pull to the left of deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run. They complete it with ease, so quick between the wickets these two.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. The batsman defends it from within the crease.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. FOUR! That is so deft from Buttler. A back of a length ball on off, Jos waits for the ball to arrive before just opening the face of the bat and angling it really fine to the left of third man. This is just pure skill and class of the man. Also tells you about the form of a person.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. Bouncer on middle, JB ducks under the ball and lets it go.

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. FOUR! Poor ball and punished! Short and wide outside off, Buttler cuts this with venom past point. Beats third man with ease. Easy pickings.

Ben Stokes walks in at number 6.

Mohammad Hasnain to Joe Root. OUT! Root holes out! He did not get enough power on that shot. A short ball outside off, Root pulls this over mid-wicket. Wanted to hit a biggie but just did not get the power on that. The ball goes right down the throat of Asif Ali in the deep there. End of a really entertaining innings from England's maestro. Misses out on a well-deserved 100!

Mohammad Hasnain to Jos Buttler. In the air... but lands safely! Buttler would have had his heart in his mouth there. A short ball on middle, Jos looks to pull it over deep mid-wicket but the ball goes off the top edge and high towards fine leg. The ball lands in no man's land. A single is taken again.

Mohammad Hasnain to Joe Root. Short of a length on middle, a controlled pull to deep square leg from Root. Single picked up.

Drinks break. England continue to go great guns here. They have lost three wickets but their run rate is still over 7 and they will be eyeing a score close to 400, if not more. Joe Root is inching closer to his century, while Jos Buttler is taking his time to settle down. We all know if Jos lasts the distance, the final score can be massive. Pakistan have to limit the damage in the final 15 overs to stand any chance of chasing down the total. Mohammad Hasnain to bowl after the mini-break.

Imad Wasim to Jos Buttler. Dot again. Too full in length and outside off, Buttler drills his drive this time but once again fails to beat the cover fielder. Wasim does well to concede just 5 in the over after going for a boundary first ball.

The English skipper tries to fetch the delivery from wide outside off and play the pull shot but it takes the top edge and flies in the air. Abid Ali runs across to his left from mid-wicket and completes the catch. A massive breakthrough for Pakistan to break the 117-run stand. The short ball has done the trick again, 2nd time in this innings. Maybe a ploy for teams to use in flat decks such as these. Meanwhile, Shaheen celebrates again like Shahid Afridi used to do.

ENGLAND PLAYING XI - Jonny Bairstow (IN FOR JASON ROY), James Vince, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (c) (IN FOR JOE DENLY), Jos Buttler (wk), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Tom Curran, Chris Woakes (IN FOR JOFRA ARCHER), David Willey (IN FOR MARK WOOD) and Adil Rashid.

PAKISTAN PLAYING XI - Abid Ali (IN FOR IMAM-UL-HAQ), Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Sarfaraz Ahmed (c and wk), Mohammad Hafeez, Asif Ali, Imad Wasim, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Hasnain and Shaheen Afridi (IN FOR JUNAID KHAN).

TEAM NEWS - For Pakistan, Abid Ali gets a game at last. With Imam-ul-Haq getting injured in the last game, the visitors have decided to rest him. Junaid Khan gets a break as well, with the smiling Shaheen Afridi replacing him. As far as England are concerned, they have four changes, with Morgan getting back in, along with Bairstow, Woakes and Willey. Roy, absent because of tending to his ill daughter, along with Vince, Wood and Archer miss out.

TOSS - Time for the all-important passage of the game. Normally, on flat beds like these, captain winning the toss wins the match because he opts to chase with conditions loaded fully in his team's favour. Eoin Morgan is back after serving his suspension and has won yet another toss. ENGLAND OPT TO BAT. Any surprises?

Pakistan are left with nothing but pride to play for. They have been slaughtered hard by the English batsmen but with a few catches taken and a few moments won, things would have been entirely different. But what is done is done. Pakistan would be hungry for a win now and would love to end the tour with a win hope to go into the World Cup with some sort of confidence. Hello and a warm welcome again, to the 5th and final ODI between England and Pakistan at Headingley, Leeds.

The fifth and final ODI is upon us! Welcome to the 'kill-all-the-bowlers' series. Batsmen keep getting the runs, bowlers struggle for help and eventually the umpires keep sigalling fours and sixes. England have already sealed the series in their favor with an inaccessible lead of 3-0 but would still be going all guns blazing as they will be preparing themselves for the big tournament.
