That brings an end to our coverage for this game. This is Akshay Bhide, signing off on behalf of my-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer Manish Bishnoi. Until next time, cheers and good night.
Moeen Ali | England Captain: "Very happy. The way we batted was brilliant. It shows that if we stick to the process, it helps. The difference is if we don't lose wickets upfront, we can keep going after the bowling. There were all orthodox shots played, and enjoyed it. This has been a brilliant series so far, and looking forward to the decider on Sunday.
Buttler is feeling good, and we will decide whether we will play him on Sunday. We will decide whether we will take the risk of playing him for one game before going to Australia for the World Cup."

Babar Azam | Pakistan Captain: "Yeah, definitely. I think with the way the pitch was behaving, we were aiming for 170. But, I think we were short by ten runs in the end. We really tried hard but couldn't get through.
They batted really well. There was a lot of dew. They bowled well as well. But we were able to get around 170. The dew made it the bowlers hard to grip the ball. Shadab did well. They came all gun blazing from the beginning. We will come back stronger in the next game."

Time for the post-match presentation.
Akshay: Philip Salt, remember the name. Who would have thought that England will chase down 170 in the 15th over? All thanks to one man, Philip Salt. The English opener came, saw, and conquered. He made a real mockery of this chase as he remains unbeaten on 88 to help England win the game by eight wickets to force the series to a decider.
Chasing 170, the English openers in, Philip Salt and Alex Hales, got them off to a sensational start. They took on the bowling from the word go, and it was absolute carnage. Pakistan’s bowlers were hit all around the park as both Salt and Hales went berserk in the powerplay. They both put 50 between them in no time. Shadab Khan was brought into the attack in the fourth over, and he dismissed Hales on 27. England scored 82 at the end of the fielding restrictions for the loss of one wicket.
Salt, at the other end, kept playing his strokes and showed the world why he is considered one of the most dangerous openers in the shortest format. He brought up his fifty in just 19 balls, the third fastest by an English batter in the shortest format. Dawid Malan also looked good at the other end. Salt made a mockery of the chase as they went at above 10 runs per over and chased down the total in 14.3 overs. Malan departed on 26, but Salt remained unbeaten on 88 to help his side win the game by eight wickets to keep the series alive.
Earlier, it was the English skipper Moeen Ali who won the toss and opted to bowl first. They had a very good start with the ball as they picked up two quick wickets and reduced Pakistan to 40/2 at the end of the powerplay. Babar Azam took some time to settle in and played some wonderful strokes once he adapted to the nature of the pitch. Haider Ali supported him nicely from the other end but fell on 18. Babar was joined by Iftikhar Ahmed, and both started the recovery work for the hosts.
Iftikhar took on Rashid in the middle overs, and Babar played the role of a second fiddle perfectly. Both put 48 between them for the fourth wicket before Ahmed departed on a 21-ball 31. Babar was unstoppable at the other end as he brought up his 27th fifty in T20Is. He also reached the milestone of 3000 T20I runs, becoming the joint-fastest to it along with Virat Kohli. He hit some lusty blows in the end and helped his side finish on a high. Babar remained unbeaten on 87 to take his side to 169 at the end of their 20 overs. David Willey and Sam Curran picked up two wickets each for the visitors. An onslaught from Salt while chasing helped them get across the line with ease to level the series. Stick around for the post-match presentation.

14.3 M Wasim to P Salt
1 Fuller length and outside the off. Salt bends low and drives it to the right of the deep covers fielder for a single. England win by eight wickets to level the series 3-3! We are now all set for a super Sunday decider.
14.2 M Wasim to B Duckett
1 Wasim Jr. goes short again. It is on the middle stump line. Duckett hooks it down to deep backward square leg for a single to level the scores.
14.1 M Wasim to P Salt
1 Short and outside the off. Slower one. Salt waits and adjusts well as he just taps it to short extra covers.
14.1 M Wasim to P Salt
WD WIDE! Fuller one down the leg side. Salt misses the glance. The umpire signals it a wide.

4 FOURRR!!! Are there any fielders in the ground at the moment? England doesn't seem so. Back of a length on the middle stump. Duckett pulls it along the ground through the mid-wicket region for a boundary.
