That’s it from me. Unfortunately my feed didn’t have the post match presentations. Apologies for that. Will rectify that come Sunday as I’ll be watching on from a different venue. Keep an eye out for Andy Bull’s report which should be with you shortly.
The series is still in the balance with England edging it 2-1 at present. If they play like this, they’ll walk the rest. No guarantees though. Bring on Sunday!
Here’s the report from the game:

That was emphatic by England. After losing by 10 wickets last night, the tourist roared back with a crushing 63 run win built by three batters who bolster England’s depth. The first was debutant Will Jacks who opened the batting and unfurled 44 off 22 balls. Then Ben Ducket swept his way to an unbeaten 70 in an unbroken stand of 139 for the fourth wicket alongside Harry Brook, the star of the show with a blistering 81 off 35 balls. He is surely nailed on for that number five slot at the World Cup.
Pakistan needed their star openers to replicate last night’s heroics but it wasn’t to be. Mark Wood’s extra pace saw to Babar Azam – caught at deep third – and Reece Topley bowled Mohammad Rizwan.
Wood would collect another two scalps with Adil Rashid underlining his worth with two of his own. Shan Masood’s counterattacking 66 not-out off 40 balls was commendable, but immaterial. England were simply too strong.
