England complete series whitewash

England completed a 4-0 one-day international series whitewash over Pakistan in Dubai this evening.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first, setting England a target of 238 runs for victory thanks largely to a knock of 65 from Asad Shafiq.

England's reply started slowly when captain Alastair Cook was trapped lbw for just four runs.

The wickets of Jonathan Trott, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler soon followed, leaving England on a score of 68-4.

However, Craig Kieswetter joined Kevin Pietersen to help steady England's innings.

Kieswetter was run out for 43, while Pietersen went on to record a score of 130 runs.

Samit Patel (16) and Tim Bresnan (4) were at the crease as England wrapped up the win.
