Babar Azam and team aim to level the series in wust-win clash against England
Meanwhile, the Men in Green are looking to level the series in the third T20I against England in Cardiff on Tuesday after losing the second match in Birmingham by 23 runs. England will be without their regular captain Jos Buttler, who is on paternity leave as he and his partner expect their third child.
In the second T20I in Birmingham, Buttler led from the front with a 51-ball 84, propelling England to a total of 183 in 20 overs. The English bowlers then collectively took wickets, with Reece Topley taking three, to bowl Pakistan out for 160 in 19.2 overs.
Here are some of the twitter reactions:

— Salman 🇵🇰 (@SalmanAsif2007)Good to see Babar Azam behaving like this with his fans. Babarians have no self respect nor a high IQ so that's why they stan this guy in first place. This is the treatment they deserve for being fans of a fraud. Babar FC ko Babar Azam bhi L pr rakhta hy.pic.twitter.com/38cEzzQwXP
