England managed to hang on to win an action‑packed second one‑day international against Pakistan by 12 runs in Southampton.
BBC reports the home side were powered to 373‑3 by Jos Buttler's spectacular 50‑ball century, the second‑fastest by an England batsman in ODIs.
That came after Jason Roy (87), Eoin Morgan (71 not out), Jonny Bairstow (51) and Joe Root (40) all made contributions.
Pakistan remained in the game through a brutal hundred from opener Fakhar Zaman.
England take a 1‑0 lead in the five‑match series.
The third game is in Bristol on Wednesday.
