    England Fall Away in the Chase of 303

    England had a solid platform in the chase, reaching 96/1 after 15 overs. Tom Banton made 57 off 53 balls, with five fours and two sixes, before he was caught by Shaheen Afridi off the bowling of Arafat Minhas in the 19th over.

    Minhas then took charge with the ball. He dismissed Banton, Jamie Overton, Will Jacks and Adil Rashid among his six wickets, finishing with 6/40 in 8.4 overs. Gus Atkinson was run out for 7, and England were all out for 215 in 38.4 overs. Minhas became only the third Pakistan men’s player to score a fifty and take a five-wicket haul in the same ODI.

    What Next for the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series?

    Pakistan have won both of their matches, after beating Sri Lanka by 37 runs in the opener on October 18. England and Sri Lanka meet in the 3rd Match on Thursday, October 22, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Pakistan face England again in the 4th Match on Sunday, October 25, at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, and play Sri Lanka there on Tuesday, October 27. England and Sri Lanka meet again on October 29, and the final is on Saturday, October 31, also in Lahore. All matches start at 1:00 PM local time, which is 1:30 PM IST.

    Pakistan will be pleased with the lower-order rescue, but the top order will want a better start, as Fakhar Zaman was out first ball and the team was 133/5. England will want to turn starts into bigger scores, as they were 96/1 at one stage but fell well short of the target.
