Pakistan beats England by 31 runs in first T20

Liam Livingstone smashed the fastest T20 century by an Englishman in just 42 balls against Pakistan but it was in vain as England lost a white-ball match for the first time this summer, falling short by 31 runs at Trent Bridge on Friday.

England’s regulars returned from quarantine after a second-string squad swept the ODI series 3-0, with Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Tom Curran back in the team and Eoin Morgan leading the side.

Brief scores: Pakistan 232/6 in 20 (B. Azam 85). England 201 in 19.2 (L. Livingstone 103; S. Afridi 3/30). Pak won by 31 runs.
