5 talking points as Pakistan win tight T20 by five runs despite Moeen Ali's fifty

Pakistan have taken a 3-2 lead over England after winning a low scoring fifth T20I in Lahore by five runs thanks to a brilliant team effort with the ball and an excellent 63 from Mohammad Rizwan.

Pakistan needed their bowlers to step up after nobody other than Rizwan managed to score more than 15 runs as they were bowled out for 145. Mark Wood was once again brilliant for England in just his second appearance in six months after being forced to undergo two shoulder operations.

He consistently hit speeds of 90mph+ as he picked up figures of 3-20. His average speed across his two appearances has been 148.24kph (92mph) and according to CricViz only New Zealand's Adam Milne has ever bowled quicker in a T20I series.
