Scorecard |
Tom Banton marked his arrival on the international stage with a thrilling 71 off 42 balls before rain washed out England’s first Twenty20 against Pakistan at Emirates Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old became the youngest England player to score a T20 half-century as he hit four fours and five sixes.
His departure was the first of four wickets to fall for 14 runs, shortly before rain intervened with England 131-6.
Play was abandoned at 21:00 BST, although better weather is forecast for the second game of the three-match series at the same ground on Sunday.
