Sam Billings hits 53 to help England to 160-5

Sam Billings hits 53 off 26 balls to help England post a total of 160-5 in the first Twenty20 against Pakistan in Dubai.

Sam Billings has scored a quickfire 53 to help England to a respectable total of 160-5 in the first Twenty20 game against Pakistan in Dubai.

Eoin Morgan's side were rocked by three early wickets as Jason Roy (9) and Alex Hales (8) were both bowled and caught before Moeen Ali was dismissed for a duck to leave England 19-3.

James Vince's 41 helped to steady the ship, but he eventually fell to the bowling of Wahab Riaz.

Billings and Morgan then formed a solid partnership to carry England's total beyond 150, although the wicketkeeper was run out with the final ball of the innings, which left Pakistan needing 161 to win.
