England made a triumphant return to Pakistan after 17 years with a six-wicket win in the first T20I on Tuesday. Debutant left-arm fast bowler Luke Wood grabbed 3-24 to help limit Pakistan to 158-7 after captain Moeen Ali won the toss in his country of roots and elected to field. Alex Hales, in his return to England colors after more than three years, smashed 53 off 40 balls and led the visitors to 160-4 in 19.2 overs. Pakistan couldn't capitalize on Mohammad Rizwan (68) and captain Babar Azam's (31) aggressive opening stand of 85 off 57 balls before the middle-order capitulated against Wood in the death overs.
