Eoin Morgan says he feels as comfortable at the crease as he ever has done after starring in England’s five-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second Twenty20 international at Emirates Old Trafford.

The England captain struck a belligerent 66 from 33 balls as Pakistan’s 195 for four was overhauled with five balls to spare, putting the hosts 1-0 up in the series ahead of Tuesday’s final match.

Morgan is averaging 48.4 with a strike-rate of 174.1 in the 14 T20s he has played for England since the start of last year, and the Irishman put his form down to the security he feels in his role.

Mohammad Amir is a doubt for Pakistan’s final obligation of the tour after feeling pain in his right hamstring on Sunday which restricted the left-arm seamer to just two overs.

Amir had treatment following the match, the first to be broadcast live on the BBC in 21 years, and he will be assessed on Monday.
