Pakistan bagged a consolation win in the five-match ODI series against England on Sunday with a four-wicket victory at Cardiff.

England, sent in to bat first, managed 302-9 in their 50 overs of play. Jason Roy's 87 and Ben Stokes' 75 were instrumental.

For Pakistan, Hasan Ali bagged four scalps while Mohammad Amir accounted for three batsmen.

In their reply, Azhar Ali's men, unusually, didn't panic and chased the total down with four wickets and 10 balls to spare.
