Veteran batsman Mohammad Hafeez made 86 not out and teenage debutant Haider Ali 54 in Pakistan's 190-4 in the third Twenty20 international against England at Old Trafford on Tuesday. There was a 20-year age gap between the 39-year-old Hafeez and the 19-year-old Haider but it was hard to notice the difference as they shared a stand of exactly 100 after coming together at 32-2. Hafeez's knock followed his 69 in England's five-wicket win in the second T20 at Old Trafford on Sunday and was his fourth half-century in his last five T20 international innings.

Pakistan, beaten 1-0 in a three-Test series by England last month, were looking to end their tour with a win. England, however, had chased down a stiff target of 196 to go 1-0 up in the three-match series on Sunday, with captain Eoin Morgan and Dawid Malan both making fifties, after Friday's washout. Off-spinner Moeen Ali struck with his first ball of the match when he bowled Fakhar Zaman. But Haider slog-swept his second ball in international cricket, from Moeen, for six.
