Commentary -
That's it from all of us here. Do join us for the continuous coverage of all the slam bang action from the Champions League T20 and the ODI series between these two sides starting on the 10th of September. Until then, it's goodbye from all of us here.
Presentation:
Tim Bresnan is named Man of the Match for his figures of 3.3-0-10-3.
Paul Collingwood: England's run of wins is a 'special achievement' and as always the bowlers stepped up to the occasion yet again and came up with a special performance to skittle them out for 89.
Shahid Afridi: We were imcompetent. We were 'immature' and 'irresponsible' in our approach. We have a lot of ground work to do if we are to bounce back in the ODIs.
England have been clinical in their run-chase yet again. They have now set a new record of winning 7 consecutive T20 matches and seem to be making this format their own. Pakistan snapped up the openers quickly but they were never really in the hunt as England went about their chase in a calm and collected manner. Some poor fielding didn't help Pakistan either as Colly and Morgan picked the runs with ease to romp home in style and clinch the series 2-0. Stick around for the presentation....
