**Post-match reactions:**
Pakistan Captain Babar Azam: It was a par score, and our bowlers did well. In batting, we had moments but didn't finish strong. There were small partnerships, but none big enough. If someone had scored 40s or 50s, it could have been different.”
England Captain Jos Buttler: Named player of the match for his 84 runs off 51 balls. “A great performance from everyone. I feel like I am hitting the ball well.” On Archer’s comeback: “He was brilliant, taking wickets for England again. A really positive performance. The whole bowling group was brilliant.”
**Match Summary:**
**England Win by 23 Runs:** England set Pakistan a target of 184, with Buttler scoring an impressive 84 and Jacks contributing 37. England’s bowlers secured the win with Topley taking three wickets, while Archer and Moeen grabbed two each. Jordan, Rashid, and Livingstone also took a wicket each, leading to an all-round performance from the hosts.
Final Moments:
WICKET! Afridi’s attempt to hit a six results in a catch by Salt, sealing Pakistan's defeat.
