Jos Buttler’s stunning 50-ball century just about proved the difference as England beat Pakistan by 12 runs in a thrilling second one-day international at Southampton on Saturday.
New father Buttler’s 110 not out was the cornerstone of World Cup hosts England’s 373/3.
But Pakistan, thanks mainly to opener Fakhar Zaman’s 138, stayed in the game before a target of 19 off the last over, bowled by Chris Woakes, proved beyond them as they finished on 361/7.
Following Wednesday’s no-result washout at The Oval, victory left England 1-0 up in this five-match series.
