Harry Brook and Ben Duckett bludgeoned maiden Twenty20 half-centuries as England bounced back to beat Pakistan by 63 runs on Friday. Brook smashed 81 off 35 balls and left-hander Duckett made 69 off 42 deliveries as England racked up 221-3 after losing the toss. Pakistan`s top order crumbled against fast bowlers Mark Wood and Reece Topley and finished on 158-8 a day after chasing down 199.
Wood picked up 3-24 and Reece took 1-22 in their first game of the series as England brought them in for David Willey and Luke Wood. England leads the series 2-1 with four more games to go. They go again in Karachi on Sunday. Captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan couldn`t repeat their Thursday night heroics when they led Pakistan to a 10-wicket win with a brilliant double-century stand.
