LIVE: Farhan to Pakistan's rescue yet again
The T20 WC Super Eight stage continues with a clash between England and Pakistan on Tuesday.
England will look to strengthen their grip on a semi-final spot as they take on Pakistan in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight clash in Kandy on Tuesday.
On Sunday, Harry Brook's team handed co-hosts Sri Lanka a 51-run defeat to begin the second stage of the World Cup with a bang and earn two crucial points. A win over Pakistan should put them in driver's seat to go through to the final four.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's match against New Zealand was washed out and the teams ended up splitting points. That gives Pakistan a smaller margin for error going forward in the tournament and a defeat here will almost put them out of semi-final contention.

Pakistan v England
Electing to bat first against England, Pakistan are 70/2 after 10 overs. The batters are struggling to pick up the pace, but the Asian side is once again relying on Sahibzada Farhan to give them a good launching pad.
Saim Ayub's tough World Cup campaign continued as he struggled against the pace and bounce from Jofra Archer, sending a top edge to Jacob Bethell. In the next over, off Liam Dawson, Agha sent the ball to long-off, only for Jamie Overton to complete a superb diving catch.
