Scorecard

England completed a one-day international series whitewash of Pakistan after a record-breaking win at Edgbaston.

James Vince's maiden century for his country helped chase down 322 the highest total to win an ODI at the Birmingham venue.

Babar Azam's 158 as part of a stand worth 179 with Mohammad Rizwan had helped the tourists put on 331 for 9 from their 50 overs.

But the second string led by Ben Stokes showed no fear, attacking from the outset to secure another memorable victory.

Vince and Lewis Gregory put on 129 for the sixth wicket to underpin the victory, before Craig Overton and Brydon Carse - who also collected a maiden five-for - wrapped up the chase with two overs to spare.
