Pakistan needed to win this match by 287 runs or more in order to qualify for the semifinals, but their hopes were dashed when England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bat. England scored 337/9 in their 50 overs, led by a 132-run partnership between Joe Root (60) and Ben Stokes (84).
Haris Rauf took 3/64 in his 10 overs, but in the course of the match set an unwanted World Cup record.
