SOUTHAMPTON – England completed a clean sweep of their 2010 home series when they defeated Pakistan by 121 runs in the fifth and final One-Day International (ODI) yesterday.
Pakistan, set 257 to win the match and the series, tumbled from 63 without loss to 135 all out after batting under the lights in the day-night match on a warm evening at the Rose Bowl.
Off-spinner Graeme Swann gained prodigious turn to finish with three for 26 from nine overs. Each of his victims was bowled.
During a long and tiring season, to be followed soon by the Ashes defence, England defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan in successive Test series.
They also won a ODI series against Australia and two Twenty20 matches against Pakistan. (Reuters)
