Vaughan is transferring quickly into the new Boycott.

Babar is bumbling along, but hes missed 3 or 4 gifts so far. Rashid needs to break this partnership, Babar wont keep missing hitting those.

Always get a couple of loose balls off a Rashid over, and a potential wicket taking delivery.

This looks like a bit of a B-attack for pace bowlers in T20. But I can't think who's missing. Apart from Stokes as an extra bowler.

Rashid takes the wicket.... Vaughan says its good bowling, but that should have landed in Stockport, rubbish ball.

Is Rashid a client of Vaughan?

Gregory hasn't been brushed with a great deal of sporting glamour. He looks like someone who might be opening the bowling on stumbling on a game of cricket on a country walk.

Fifty for BA. Time to push on.

Nice to see Morgan keep a catcher in for Rashid.

Is that it from Mo?

I suppose there's an excuse for Rashid being rusty.

Still, picked up another.

Rashid serves 4 filth balls, Pakistan can't punish any, Babar spoons one straight to a fielder.
