In the summit clash, England got the better of Pakistan to emulate veteran Paul Collingwood’s feat in 2010 as he hoisted the coveted trophy in the air at the end of the day.

Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes took two wickets each, while Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone dismissed one player each.

England finished the game in 16 overs, with Hales topping the run charts with his unbeaten 86, while Buttler joined him in scoring 80 runs from the other end in a resounding victory.
