Babar Azam remained 110 not out and Mohammad Rizwan’s triumphant 88 as Pakistan pulled off an incredible 10-wicket victory over England to level the Twenty20 series at 1-1.

Chasing 200, Pakistan’s opening pair produced a batting masterclass in Karachi to seal the win with three balls to spare.

Babar reached a sublime century from 62 balls, delighting the raucous home crowd, while Rizwan hit four sixes in a whirlwind 51-ball knock.

At the halfway stage England had looked big-time favourites to win the game when racking up 199-5 as Moeen Ali smashed 55 not out from 23 balls and Ben Duckett an ingenious 43.
