LORD’s: Hasan Ali’s five-wicket haul played an important role for Pakistan to bowl out England for 247 in the second ODI here on Saturday. 

Hasan was the pick of the bowlers from Pakistan as the right-arm pacer picked up wickets at crucial moments and completed his fourth five-wicket haul in One Day Internationals.

Sent into bat first, England were marred by an early strike of Hasan who bagged in-form Dawid Malan in slips. Shaheen Shah Afridi followed his partner and removed another performer of the previous match, Zak Crawley to reduce England to 21-2 in 4.1 overs.

It were Phil Salt and James Vince who rescued England by scoring a half-century each to take their team to 118-2. Salt made his maiden ODI fifty and scored 60 off 54 balls laced with 10 boundaries whereas Vince brought up his second fifty and managed to get 56 runs on the board. His inning included eight boundaries.

Skipper Ben Stokes, who was playing his 100th ODI, managed to score just 22 runs when Pakistani bowlers bounced back in the game. They reduced the hosts from 118-2 to 160-5 in middle-overs.

Lewis Gregory and Brydon Carse played handy knocks, partnered for scoring 69 runs together. Gregory garnered 40 runs whereas Carse made 31.

Apart from Hasan, Haris Rauf bagged two wickets, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel, and Shaheen took a wicket each.
