LEEDS: England set a difficult target of 352 runs for Pakistan in the fifth and final One-day International here at Headingley on Sunday.

After skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and opted for batting first, England piled up a huge total of 351 runs for nine wickets in the 50 overs.

Joe Root top scored with 84 while Morgan himself made 76 as both added 117 runs for the third wicket partnership.

England rested Jason Roy following the opener´s century in Nottingham.

James Vince hit the first two balls of the innings from Hasan for four.

But Vince, yet again in his England career, got out when well set, falling for 33 when he top-edged a hook off Afridi to deep square leg.

Jonny Bairstow (32) drove Imad straight to long-on to the disappointment of his Yorkshire home crowd.

For Pakistan, left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi captured four wickets for 82 and left-arm spinner Imad Wasim claimed three for 52.
