LEEDS: Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow both made fifties as England beat Pakistan by four wickets in the fourth One-day International (ODI) at Headingley on Thursday.
England, **w 4-0 up in this five-match ******, slumped to 72 for four pursuing a target of 248.
But Stokes (69) and wicket-keeper Bairstow (61), only playing on his Yorkshire home ground after Jos Buttler was ruled out in the warm-up with a hamstring injury, got the innings back on track with a fifth-wicket partnership of 103.
Neither batsman was in at the finish of this day/night fixture, with Moeen Ali (45 **t out) hitting Pakistan captain Azhar Ali for six to win the match with 12 balls to spare.
England were chasing a target that seemed all the more modest after their world ODI record total of 444 for three during a 169-run win in the third match at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.
But they lost four wickets inside 15 overs of their reply to a Pakistan total of 247 for eight built on Azhar’s 80 and all-rounder Imad Wasim’s unbeaten 57.
Giant fast bowler Mohammad Irfan, a late-call up to the squad, marked his first match of the ****** by removing both England openers.
The 7ft 1in (2.16m) Irfan produced a rising delivery that Jason Roy (14) could only edge and Mohmammad Rizwan, a**ther of Pakistan’s four changes, held a fine catch diving to his left at second slip.
Alex Hales, who had made an England ODI record 171 at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, then fell for eight when he was caught behind off Irfan, who was twice warned for running on the pitch.
Irfan took two for 25 in five overs but then twice went on and off the field and bowled only one more delivery, a wide, before, after pulling up in delivery stride, he walked off for the final time to the visible consternation of Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur.
A Pakistan spokesman said Irfan had cramps in his right calf.
Joe Root, bidding for a new outright England record of six consecutive ODI fifties, again looked in superb touch while making 30.
But Root, one of five Yorkshire players in the side, fell when his top-edged pull off Hasan Ali was safely caught at fine leg by Irfan.
England captain Eoin Morgan then gave his wicket away on 11 when he guided Umar Gul straight to Sharjeel Khan at slip.
Left-hander Stokes went on the offensive by driving Wasim for six over long-on.
Man-of-the-match Bairstow followed suit by skipping down the pitch to drive Mohammad Nawaz, Pakistan’s other left-arm spinner, for a**ther six.
Stokes, with England 116 for four, was fortunate on 35 when a diving Nawaz at backward square could **t hold a top-edged sweep off Wasim.
He went on a run-a-ball fifty, including five fours and a six.
Stokes was out when he slog-swept Wasim to Babar Azam at mid-wicket.
Bairstow completed a 64-ball fifty with his fourth four, a fierce drive off Nawaz.
However, going for a risky single, he was run out by Azhar’s direct hit from mid-off.
Earlier, England slow bowlers Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali shared five wickets between them after Azhar won the toss, with Yorkshire leg-spinner Rashid taking three for 47.
Pakistan went 16 balls without a run before Azhar got off the mark by cover-driving left-arm seamer David Willey for four.
He also hoisted fast bowler Liam Plunkett and Rashid for two sixes as wickets fell around him.
Azhar’s 104-ball innings featuring two sixes and five fours, ended when he lofted Rashid to Willey on the long-off boundary.
Wasim, who made an unbeaten 63 in the second ODI at Lord’s before a knee injury ruled him out at Trent Bridge, struck seven fours and a six in his 41-ball innings.
The ****** concludes with a day game in Cardiff on Sunday (tomorrow).
