Following their seven-wicket win over Pakistan on Friday, England are forced to make a change for the re-match with Yorkshire all-rounder Ajmal Shahzad (left) given his chance in place of Ryan Sidebottom
England are put in after Pakistan win the toss and make a poor start when Joe Denly plays a wild shot in the fourth over and is bowled through the gate by Yasir Arafat
Having played himself in with an unbeaten 43 in the first match, Kevin Pietersen is in the mood for runs and launches pace bowler Umar Gul over long-on for a huge six
Jonathan Trott contributes 39 to a stand of 98 in 12 overs with Pietersen before he is run out having been called for a risky single by his partner
With Pietersen making 62 off 40 balls, England eventually total 148-6 and Shahzad then makes an immediate impact with the ball by having Imran Nazir caught at deep third man in his opening over
Two balls later and Shahzad's good start becomes a sensational one as Imran Farhat fails to control an attemped pull shot and skies a catch straight to Stuart Broad at mid-on
But the complexion of the match changes once Abdul Razzaq strolls to the crease at 78-5 in the 13th over. The all-rounder unleashes a series of lusty blows to swing the advantage back in Pakistan's favour
Alongside left-hander Fawad Alam (middle), Razzaq plunders 48 runs in a fruitful sixth-wicket partnership as Stuart Broad's excellent figures are dented in the 16th over
Razzaq hits an incredible five sixes in an 18-ball 46, lofting Shahzad for a match-winning six from the very last delivery of the 19th over to seal the four-wicket win and level the two-match series
