LAHORE: Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan put up a fight with a gritty knock of 63 but England pacers wreaked havoc over the Pakistan batting line-up and bowled out the hosts on 145 in the fifth T20I of the seven-match series.
Batting first on the invitation of England captain Moeen Ali, the home side was off to a poor start as their captain Babar Azam perished cheaply for nine.
Following the early slump, Shan Masood and Rizwan looked to script recovery as they added a gritty 25 runs for the second wicket. The pair appeared to have settled but Shan failing to execute a ramp shot off David Willey. He scored seven off eight deliveries.
Following his dismissal, the side began to lose wickets at a frustrating rate and only Iftikhar Ahmed and Aamir Jamal managed to amass double-figures besides top-scorer Rizwan, who carried his bat till the 18th over.
The top-ranked T20I batter scored 63 off 46 deliveries with the help of two boundaries and three sixes.
