Eoin Morgan and Dawid Malan combined to guide England to a five-wicket win over Pakistan at Old Trafford.

The result put the home side 1-0 up in the T20 international series, with just Tuesday’s final game to play.

Even though the first game in the series, two days earlier, had been rained out a long way before its scheduled conclusion, Pakistan had already suffered criticism.

They had opted against trying either of their new young talents Haider Ali, the teenager, or Khushdil Shah. Instead, they went with two players closing in fast on their 40th birthdays.

Shoaib Malik and Mohammed Hafeez were both retained for this game. While Malik came and went quickly with the bat, Hafeez showed he still has plenty to offer.

Hafeez, who turns 40 in October, blazed 69 from just 36 balls. With captain Babar Azam having made his customary half century at the top of the order, Pakistan were able to post 195-4 from their 20 overs.

It meant England would require the biggest successful run chase in any T20 match at Old Trafford if they were to force victory.

There was only a brief moment they looked like they were going to do anything but win.

Tom Banton and Jonny Bairstow out on 66 for the first wicket – only to both fall in successive deliveries in Shadab Khan’s first over.

First, Bairstow top edged a slog to leg up to Imad Wasim on 44. Off the next ball, Shadab trapped Banton lbw with a googly.

Although Morgan and Malan started cautiously against the spin of Shadab and Iftikhar Ahmed, they were soon into their work.

Morgan has fond memories of Old Trafford already. It was at this ground where he struck a World Cup record for sixes in an innings as he razed Afghanistan’s bowlers in 2019.

He found his range again this time, hitting four sixes and six fours in a whirlwind knock worth 66 from 33 balls, on his way to the man of the match award.

Between him and Malan, they had the decisive alliance in the match, putting on 112 from 62 deliveries.

Although Morgan fell, to a catch by Khushdil – on as a substitute fielder – off the bowling of Haris Rauf, with the job still to finish, England had no trouble sealing the victory.

Sam Billings came to the wicket and maintained the rate with a breezy 10 off five balls, before he also fell to Rauf with the scores level.

Fittingly, it was left to Malan to score the winning runs. He hit the first ball of the final over for four, to finish on 54 not out from 36 balls.

That means Malan now has a career average of 54.50 in T20Is, with seven scores in excess of 50 in his 12 matches so far.

Player ratings for England v Pakistan Test series

Rory Burns – 3: He is 2020 personified: a huge blow at the start of the year, and has scarcely improved since. Injured playing football in January, struggled against West Indies, and averaged a paltry five against Pakistan. Dropped catches, too. PA

Zak Crawley – 9.5: Just 22, and with a mere eight Tests to his name, but he must already feel like he has completed cricket. He will forever have a higher Test best (267) than Sachin Tendulkar (248 not out). Must remember to take catches off James Anderson, though. PA

What is a calorie?

A food calorie, or kilocalorie, is a measure of nutritional energy generated from what is consumed.

One calorie, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C.

A kilocalorie represents a 1,000 true calories of energy.

Energy density figures are often quoted as calories per serving, with one gram of fat in food containing nine calories, and a gram of protein or carbohydrate providing about four.

Alcohol contains about seven calories a gram. 

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”

How to increase your savings
  • Have a plan for your savings.
  • Decide on your emergency fund target and once that's achieved, assign your savings to another financial goal such as saving for a house or investing for retirement.
  • Decide on a financial goal that is important to you and put your savings to work for you.
  • It's important to have a purpose for your savings as it helps to keep you motivated to continue while also reducing the temptation to spend your savings.

Fresh faces in UAE side

Khalifa Mubarak (24) An accomplished centre-back, the Al Nasr defender’s progress has been hampered in the past by injury. With not many options in central defence, he would bolster what can be a problem area.

Ali Salmeen (22) Has been superb at the heart of Al Wasl’s midfield these past two seasons, with the Dubai club flourishing under manager Rodolfo Arrubarrena. Would add workrate and composure to the centre of the park.

Mohammed Jamal (23) Enjoyed a stellar 2016/17 Arabian Gulf League campaign, proving integral to Al Jazira as the capital club sealed the championship for only a second time. A tenacious and disciplined central midfielder.

Khalfan Mubarak (22) One of the most exciting players in the UAE, the Al Jazira playmaker has been likened in style to Omar Abdulrahman. Has minimal international experience already, but there should be much more to come.

Jassim Yaqoub (20) Another incredibly exciting prospect, the Al Nasr winger is becoming a regular contributor at club level. Pacey, direct and with an eye for goal, he would provide the team’s attack an extra dimension.
