Pakistan v England third T20: Pressure off victorious visitors

That was largely thanks to the fantastic bowling of Yorkshire’s Liam Plunkett, who gained a another three-wicket haul, so back him to be best England bowler yet again at 7/2.

County teammate Adil Rashid was also deadly with the ball, taking two wickets at a loss of just 18 runs from his four overs, and the leg spinner is a tasty 4/1 shout in the same market.

With the bat it was James Vince (with 38) and stand-in skipper Jos Buttler (33) who led the way to a total of 172-8, so the duo are respective 4/1 and 6/1 chances to get the most runs for their team in Sharjah.

Back Vince to carry on form

After amassing 41 in the first T20, Vince is certainly in form, and can be backed at an even more tempting 13/2 in a wincast.

Perhaps the one shining light for the hosts, playing in their adopted home, meanwhile, was Shahid Afridi, who took terrific figures of 3-15 to get the opening three England batsmen out.

While his efforts were in vain, he is 7/2 to be best Pakistan bowler once more.
