That's it for today. This is Ishan Lalwani signing off with my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya along with our scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. We will be back with all the live updates. Until next time, Good Bye from our side, Take Care!!
Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain and Player of the Match): "Yes, definitely. We had faith in ourselves during the mid-innings break that we could chase this down. Our coach said to believe in our abilities and keep positive throughout the match. 

Yeah, the pitch started off a tad slowly. But as the match progressed, it became a good track for batting. It was a perfect wicket for batting, I guess. It came nicely onto the bat. Skidded on under the lights. Yeah, overall, a perfect T20I wicket.

We just trusted on our players. We played as a group, and it rewarded us. I am happy with the way that the match has gone. We will try to keep the momentum heading into the next game."
Moeen Ali (England Captain): "I thought it was a very good score, it was a good wicket to bat on. First 10 overs, we bowled well, and we dropped a catch, but the momentum changed from my over where I went for runs.

We played really well, Ben Duckett and Salt had a fantastic partnership which gave us a platform. It was a good score, in my opinion. The wicket was much different as compared to the first game, I think they played really well, and they are brilliant players (Rizwan and Babar), you can't afford to drop them and bowl off-spinners against them in a crunch situation.
Babar Azam is the Player of the Match.

23.20 IST: What a sensational win this is for Pakistan to level the series 1-1. What a partnership this has been from Pakistan's openers, they absolutely bullied the English bowlers here. Special mentions to Pakistan's skipper, who scored his second T20I hundred. They beat England by 10 wickets here at National Stadium, Karachi.

Earlier with contributions from Moeen Ali (55*), Duckett (43) and Brook (31), England had posted a par score of 199/5 in their 20 overs.

In reply, Pakistan's openers Babar Azam (110* off 66 balls) and Mohammed Rizwan (88* off 51balls) backfired all the plans of the English bowlers. The duo came with an aggressive intent and attacked the visiting bowlers right from the very first over, and since then, they never looked back, they went with all guns blazing with a clear intent in their mind. Though England had got one chance of dismissing Rizwan in the sixth over of the innings where Hales gave life to the wicketkeeper-batter.

After that, they didn't give them much margin of error and smashed them all over the park, the duo put up an unbeaten partnership of 203 runs which is a world record while chasing. Moreover, apart from their big shot, running between the wickets between these two was something to watch out for. The sheer dominance of the duo made this mammoth chase like a cakewalk for Pakistan.

The two sides will be in action tomorrow for the third game of the seven-match series at the same venue. Hold on for the presentation.
Babar finishes off in style with a cracking cover drive.
19.3 D Willey to B Azam
4 FOURR!!! A DELIGHTFUL DRIVE FROM BABAR AZAM TO SEAL THE DEAL FOR PAKISTAN AS THEY LEVEL THE SERIES AT 1-1! Fuller length delivery and outside the off. Babar on the front foot gets a good stride forward and drives it, bisecting the fielders at short extra covers and mid-off perfectly. Both fielders were immovable, and the ball thuds into the fence. Excellent batting from both of the Pakistani openers and an unbelievable partnership!
19.2 D Willey to M Rizwan
1 Another yorker on the middle stump line. Rizwan on the move forward pushes it down to mid on for a quick single. The scores are level now!
The duo of Babar and Rizwan created a world record here. The duo has added 198 runs partnership which is a record while chasing in T20Is.
19.1 D Willey to B Azam
1 David Willey to bowl the last over. Over the wicket. Yorker on the off stump line. Azam brings the bat down in time as he jams it down to backward point for a quick single. The fielder there misses the shy at the striker's end but Rizwan dives to save himself.
Pakistan need only three runs in the last over to level the series 1-1.
