LAHORE: Pakistan beat England by six runs in the fifth Twenty20 international at Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday, taking 3-2 lead in the seven-match series.
Promising knock by Mohammad Rizwan and brilliant performances put up by bowlers helped Pakistan edge England in the 5th T20I at Gaddafi Stadium.
Earlier, Wood — playing only his second international since undergoing elbow surgery — took 3-20 after the home team were sent in to bat at Gaddafi Stadium.
Sam Curran (2-23) and David Willey (2-23) also bowled with hostility as Pakistan were dismissed in 19 overs.
Amid a middle-order collapse from 42-1 which saw Pakistan lose six wickets off 48 balls for just 58 runs — opener Mohammad Rizwan held on with a defiant 46-ball 63.
Wood dismissed Pakistan skipper Babar Azam in the third over for nine before David Willey removed Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed to derail Pakistan.
Mohammad Nawaz, for a duck, and Shadab Khan fell to injudicious run outs to leave Pakistan tottering at 100-7.
Rizwan completed his 20th T20I half- century before hitting Curran straight into the hands of Adil Rashid at deep square-leg in the 18th over.
Rizwan struck three sixes and two fours.
