Babar Azam led from the front as Pakistan beat England by 31 runs in the first T20I at Trent Bridge on Friday despite a blistering hundred from Liam Livingstone. 
Pakistan captain Azam made 85 and shared an opening stand of 150 with Mohammad Rizwan in a national record T20 total of 232-6. 

But Livingstone gave the hosts hope with a 42-ball century, England’s quickest in a T20I and the fifth fastest of all-time, hitting six fours and nine sixes on his way to three figures. Yet it wasn’t enough to prevent Pakistan going 1-0 up in this three-match series, with England bowled out for 201 after player of the match Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan took three wickets apiece.
