The Pakistani cricketers have beaten England by eight runs in the first of three Twenty20 matches in Dubai.

Chasing a target of 145, England were cruising at 120 for four after 17 overs, before paceman Umar Gul took two wickets in the 18th over for just three runs to change the complexion of the game.

England finished on 136 for six.
