England still won the series 4-1 but Pakistan’s success denied them a first home 5-0 ODI clean sweep and ended their dream of an unbeaten season in 50-over cricket.

Imad Wasim, born in the nearby south Wales city of Swansea, hit the winning runs when he struck a four off all-rounder Chris Jordan with 10 balls to spare as Pakistan finished on 304 for six.

Mohammad Rizwan was 34 not out and left-hander Wasim 16 not out.

Earlier, England made 302 for nine after being sent into bat. Jason Roy top-scored with 87 and Ben Stokes made an ODI best 75.

Pakistan paceman Hasan Ali took an ODI best four for 60 and recalled left-arm quick Mohammad Amir three for 50.
