Jos Buttler's stunning 50-ball century just about proved the difference as England beat Pakistan by 12 runs in a thrilling second one-day international at Southampton on Saturday. New father Buttler's 110 not out was the cornerstone of World Cup hosts England's 373 for three. But Pakistan, thanks mainly to opener Fakhar Zaman's 138, stayed in the game before a target of 19 off the last over, bowled by Chris Woakes, proved beyond them as they finished on 361 for seven. Following Wednesday's no-result washout at The Oval, victory left England 1-0 up in this five-match series.

Man-of-the-match Buttler's innings -- played in front of a crowd that included his wife and baby daughter Georgia -- featured nine sixes, including a straight drive off Hasan Ali that took him to three figures. "It was great to have her (Georgia) here and I'm delighted to play that way back in an England shirt this summer," said Buttler. "It was a fantastic game of cricket and great to come out on the right side." England captain Eoin Morgan had the best view while making 71 not out in an unbroken partnership of 162 with Buttler after winning the toss.
