Half-centuries from Babar Azam and Mohammad Hafeez carried Pakistan to their highest Twenty20 international total against England, who face a chase of 196 at Emirates Old Trafford.
In the first cricket match to be broadcast live on the BBC, sharing coverage with Sky, since 1999, Babar helped Pakistan make an excellent start in his 56 off 44 balls before Hafeez took the baton in the second T20.
Hafeez clubbed five fours and four sixes in a belligerent 69 off 36 deliveries to help Pakistan to 195 for four, eclipsing the 173 for six they made against England in Cardiff last year.
England's seamers struggled with their lengths, with Tom Curran and Chris Jordan conceding 46 and 41 respectively to leave the hosts with a tough chase to move 1-0 up before Tuesday's decider.
