Pakistan were beaten once again by England in the fourth ODI on late Thursday at Leeds by four wickets as the hosts bagged the super series with it.

Pakistan, after opting to bat first against England, could only manage 247 in 50 overs for the loss of eight wickets. Captain Azhar Ali was the highest scorer with 80 runs off 104 balls. Imad Wasim's 57 off 41 balls helped Pakistan at the end of the innings.

Adil Rashid bagged three wickets for England while Chris Jordan and Moeen Ali grabbed two wickets each.

9 records tumbled in third England-Pakistan ODI

In their reply, England never looked out of sorts in the chase. Ben Stokes (69) and Johnny Bairstow (61) made sure England went past the finish line with ease.

For Pakistan, Mohammad Irfan was the most successful bowler with two wickets in his five overs as he walked off the pitch with a sprain.

Both teams made more than few changes in their playing eleven after the sereis was decided two days ago when the hosts defeated visitors by 169 runs in the third ODI.

For Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan, Imad Wasim, Umar Gul and Mohammad Irfan replace Shoaib Malik, Yasir Shah, Wahab Riaz and Muhammad Amir.

For England, Jonny Bairstow, David Willey and Chris Jordan replace Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
