England takes the lead ahead of today’s second T20 cricket series match with Pakistan. The visitors picked up a 14 run win yesterday in Dubai. That’s thanks to a half-century in 24 balls from Sam Billings, a James Vince debut of 41 and an unbeaten 45 from skipper Eoin Morgan. Pakistan’s captain Shahid Afridi said his bowlers did well, especially in the first six overs, but they batted very poorly after being set what he thought was a chase-able total.
