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.
