Babar, Rizwan steer Pakistan to record-breaking win over England

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam hit 110 not out and wicket keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan an unbeaten 88 as Pakistan pulled off a remarkable 10-wicket victory against England to level the sides' Twenty20 series at 1-1.

Chasing 200, Pakistan's opening pair produced a batting masterclass in Karachi to seal the win with three balls to spare, reports BBC.

Babar reached a sublime century from 62 balls, delighting the raucous home crowd, while Rizwan hit four sixes in a whirlwind 51-ball knock setting a new record for the highest chase in all men's T20s without losing a wicket.

England had looked heavy favourites at the halfway stage when racking up 199-5 as Moeen Ali smashed 55 not out from 23 balls and Ben Duckett an enterprising 43 runs.
