England lost by 87 runs to Pakistan in a one-day international tri-series match in Rawalpindi.

England have been undone by the all-round excellence of Arafat Minhas in their opening match of a one-day international tri-series in Pakistan, losing by 87 runs in Rawalpindi. Pakistan, who beat Sri Lanka at the weekend, recovered from 5-133 to post 9-302. Arafat's 59 and Hasan Nawaz's 79 proved crucial in a 91-run partnership over the final 10 overs, though both batsmen were dropped.

England's Tom Banton and Ben Duckett put on a promising 91-run opening stand, with Banton scoring 57 and Duckett 45. Joe Root made 33 and Sam Curran 27 but the middle and lower order collapsed dramatically. Arafat took a career-best 6-40, including dismissing the in-form Banton, and engineered a run-out to seal Pakistan's victory. England fell from 5-197 to 214 all out in 38.4 overs.

Gus Atkinson spilled Nawaz on 30 in the deep and Jordan Cox, deputising behind the stumps for Jos Buttler, missed a chance to dismiss Arafat on 12. Ben Brook had chosen to field after winning the toss.
