Well, breathless stuff. This game isn't over yet. It's now an over apiece. Pakistan will bat first. What a bonkers game of cricket this has been. So many mistakes in it, but some good stuff as well. Afridi is one of the batsmen at the crease...Jordan will bowl. Umar Akmal the other

Woakes to Sohail Tanvir, 1 bye, it's a bye! We have a Super Over! They are checking for the run out but think Tanvir made it. Yes, he has! He missed his heave, Buttler gathered - he was standing back - and opted to under-arm (he didn't already have his glove off) to the non-striker's end because Anwar Ali had made such a head start on the run

Ahsan aslam: "I cant watch it ... "

One ball. Two runs. One for a Super Over. Khaqan Khan: "I want to see a super over!" You might well do. Long chat between a huddle of England players. It's been a terrificlly entertaining match

19.5
W
Woakes to Shoaib Malik, OUT, he's found long on! This game isn't over yet. He opts for the glory shot, trying to clear the boundary, but he can't get the leverage and it's a simple catch

Shoaib Malik c Billings b Woakes 75 (89m 54b 8x4 2x6) SR: 138.88

Two balls. Two runs

19.4
1
Woakes to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, clubbed towards mid-off and they scamper the run which brings Malik back into strike

Scott: "England will never be world champions until they learn how to bowl at the death, two games in a row they have failed to do it." This is part of that learning process. It's a tough job. And they won the first two matches, no?

Woakes to Sohail Tanvir, no run, dot ball! It was length again, wider outside off, Tanvir tried to swing through the leg side and couldn't make contact

Fielders going everywhere. Surely Pakistan's game.

19.2

Woakes to Sohail Tanvir, SIX, that should just about seal it! Can't get the ball full enough, it's on a length at off stump and Tanvir strikes beautifully through the line over long on

josiah: "Dont we only get super overs in the wt20? otherwise it's a tie" Apparently not. No idea why you can't just a tie in bilateral matches. Anyway

19.1
1
Woakes to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, full at the stumps, he can only heave to long on for a single...over to Tanvir

Ten to win. 9 for a Super Over. Woakes to bowl. omkar: "woakes vs malik.. who will be the MoM" Awais: "Super over On the Cards ;-)"

END OF OVER:

Jordan to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, big full toss...is it a no-ball? Malik swings wildly and it bobbles to the off side. Borderline for waist height and Jordan gets away with it
18.5

Jordan to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, down to third man! Swinging himself off his feet. Throwing the bat at a wide delivery, flies off the top edge fine of third man. Advantage Pakistan again

Jordan to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, full toss outside off, crashed square through the off side and deep cover is able to keep it to a single

Jordan to Sohail Tanvir, 1 run, full toss outside off is driven to deep cover...that's fine from Tanvir

Jordan to bowl. What could Woakes defend off the last? 10? 8?

Sohail Tanvir at No. 8. Adam: "Rakesh with the jinx England needed!"

17.3
W
Willey to Shahid Afridi, OUT, taken leg stump! Silence (relatively speaking) from the crowd. Afridi going to sweep a delivery which was not that full, he had moved a long away across, he missed and leg stump as clipped. Was a touch slower, too, at 71mph

Willey to Shahid Afridi, 1 run, drags a length ball down to long on, lost his shape on that shot

Rakesh: "We are seeing a Calm, Cool, Collected & Calculating Afridi today; (A lot of C's) and he looks more dangerous this way rather than when he is a frenzied assault mode. He is going to win this tonight for Pakistan in this mood."

16.4
2
Jordan to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, another low full toss, this time it's driven straighter and deep cover has to run the other way...has Vince flicked this back? Wonderful effort if so. Oh, that's a brilliant. He was running at full pelt but managed to keep the ball in the field of play

16.1
2
Jordan to Shahid Afridi, 2 runs, gloves, or bottom edges, a pull down the leg side...terrific attempt by Buttler to pull in the catch, one-handed with his left glove, but he managed to take the pace off the ball

Chris Jordan the man in the firing line next
