Fiery Hasan helps Pakistan restrict England for 247 runs 

A fiery display of pace bowling from pacer Hasan Ali helped Pakistan restrict England for 247 runs in 45.2 overs during the second ODI between the two sides at Lords on Saturday. 

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, England were off to a horrible start as opener Dawid Malan and batsman Zak Crawley were removed in short-order for ducks. 

Pacer Hasan Ali struck first as he forced Dawid Malan to edge a widish delivery into the hands of fielder Shadab Khan at slip. 

Pacer Shaheen Shah then bowled an absolutely blazing yorker to rip through the defenses of Zak Crawley who made his way back to the pavilion with a golden duck. 

Despite the early wickets, England batsmen did not go into a shell, counterattacking with precision to leave the bowlers shell shocked.  

Opener Phil Salt and batsman James Vince combined for a breezy 97-run partnership off 80 balls to provide a solid foundation for their side. 

Part-time spinner Saud Shakeel finally got the better of Salt, bowled, after the opener had managed 60 runs off 54 balls.  

Leg-spinner Shadab Khan then got the better of batman James Vince, bowled, after the Englishman had scored 56 runs off 52 balls. 

With the game in the perfect balance, pacer Hasan Ali came roaring back into the match to give his side the advantage. 

The fast-bowler first destroyed the stumps of captain Ben Stokes (22 off 26) as he tried to play an aggressive shot. 

Batsman John Simpson (17 off 19) became Hasan’s next victim as he missed a straight delivery that clattered into his stumps. 

The fast-bowler then managed to force an edge from tailender Craig Overton, for a duck, which was safely caught by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. 

With England in a considerable amount of trouble, all-rounder Lewis Gregory and tailender Brydon Carse combined for a 69-run partnership off 77 balls to ensure that their side were not bundled out for a paltry total. 

Pacer Haris Rauf got the better of both batsmen towards the end of the innings. Gregory was the first to depart, caught by fielder Fakhar Zaman after scoring 40 runs off 47 balls while Brydon Carse fell soon after, bowled, after scoring 31 runs off 41 balls. 

Hasan Ali then bowled tailender Saqib Mahmood (eight off 16) to complete his fifer and bundle out England for 247 runs in 45.2 overs.
