Adil Rashid took three wickets for 47 runs while Moeen Ali finished with figures of 2-39 as England rarely lost control. The tourists enjoyed early success when England's Jason Roy (14) edged Mohammad Irfan to Mohammad Rizwan in the third over. The hosts' Alex Hales, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan were also dismissed to leave England on 72-4 in the 15th over. But Stokes hit 69 from 70 balls in a 103-run fifth-wicket partnership with Bairstow to energise the home team. Stokes's innings ended one run short of his ODI best when he tried to heave an Imad delivery over the boundary allowing Babar Azam to take a simple catch on the rope with England on 175.
