Eng vs Pak Live: Harry Brook’s Fifty Keeps England Hopes Alive

After Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Jacob Bethell fell cheaply, England found themselves reeling at 53/3. Harry Brook stepped up, smashing six boundaries and two sixes to keep the run rate healthy. His controlled aggression has been the backbone of England’s innings so far, preventing Pakistan from fully capitalizing on their early breakthroughs.

Right after it, Tom Banton got out on the very first ball of Usman Tariq, leaving England 58/4. As of now, Brook holds the key to whether England can rebuild and chase down Pakistan’s total of 164/9. With the powerplay gone and momentum slowly shifting, Brook’s fifty ensures the game remains competitive and exciting.

Brook’s form keeps England in the hunt, but they must support him with partnerships if they want to chase 165 successfully. Pakistan’s bowlers will be looking to strike again and put England under renewed pressure.

After 10, England is in a strong position with 84/4.
