ENG VS PAK - 3rd ODI, Pakistan tour of England, 2019

England with a 2-0 lead in the series now, and the best Pakistan can do from here is to level things up. It appears difficult for them to match the batting prowess of the hosts, so they'll hope for the pitches to have something in it for their bowlers in the matches to come. But next up is Trent Bridge, so that looks highly unlikely. Another inevitable run-fest awaits. Until then, it's goodbye!

This pitch at Bristol was another graveyard for the bowlers, and the short boundaries were no help. And while both teams were at the receiving end of it, England just found a way to take wickets, something that Pakistan couldn't do. They hardly created many chances and when they did, they were put down.

21:06 Local Time, 20:06 GMT, 01:36 IST: This is the second-highest successful run-chase for England, and they've hardly broken a sweat in achieving it. That they did it with over five overs to spare is quite ridiculous in itself, and that's not even considering there was no Jos Buttler in the lineup today. Speaks volumes of their firepower with the bat. From the time Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy got going and smashed a 159-run stand, the result hardly seemed in doubt considering how easy they made it all look. Roy fell in his haste, but Bairstow didn't miss out on the opportunity to get a hundred. They deflated the visitors enough to set up an absolute cruise.
