LONDON (AP) England rode Joe Root's and captain Eoin Morgan's half-centuries to beat Pakistan by four wickets in the second one-day international and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series on Saturday.
Root hit 89 and Morgan 68 in England's chase, which finished on 255-6 in 47.3 overs and overshadowed Sarfraz Ahmed's career-best 105 for Pakistan.
Root featured in two productive stands, adding 112 with Morgan and 56 with Ben Stokes (42), before falling late.

Imad Wasim (63) was one of only four Pakistan batsmen to reach double figures, as Chris Woakes (3-42) and Mark Wood (3-46) shared six wickets.
