England captain Jos Buttler smashed 84 off 51 balls as the hosts set Pakistan a target of 184 to win the second T20 international at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Buttler was ably supported by 37 from Will Jacks and Jonny Bairstow's 21 but England failed to build on the platform given to them by their skipper.

England were 144-2 with five overs to spare before Bairstow departed. But five wickets fell for just 25 runs as Pakistan battled back. England finished at 183-7.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-36. The first T20 of the four-match series was washed out on Wednesday.
