The fourth and final ODI at Dubai. England have won the toss again and elected to bat. Hales and Roy got England off to a solid, workmanlike start before Hales was out to a nice catch from Shoaib Malik. England 62/1 (13 ov).
4th ODI: England v Pakistan at Dubai
Root brings up his 50 with a majestic six straight down the ground. England 176/1 (32 ov).
Congrats to Jason Roy on his maiden ODI hundred. He and Root have batted brilliantly and set England up for a very big total. 189/1 (34 ov).
Pakistan with the much needed breakthrough. Roy beaten in the flight by Yasir Shah. England 194/2.
Two wickets in two overs. Azhar Ali picks up his first ever ODI wicket as Joe Root loses his balance attempting a reverse sweep and is comfortably stumped by Sarfraz. Two new batsman at the crease give Pakistan a hope of clawing this one back. 201/3 (36.4 ov).
Azhar gets a second wicket. Morgan stumped for a bright and breezy 14. England 227/4 (40.2 ov). England have plenty of wickets in hand but could do with Buttler staying there til the end.

What an innings by Jos Buttler. A 46 ball century. Absolute carnage and destruction. The fastest ever century by an Englishman in ODI's and most sixes in an innings too. He was at his inventive best, pulling out the reverse sweep, reverse scoop, the ramp, slog sweep and some stand and delivery blows down the ground. The ball just makes a completely different sound off his bat. He can do some serious damage.
England post 355/5 - their highest ever score away from home in an ODI. Buttler and Moeen Ali put on 49 for the sixth wicket, of which Mo contributed 4! One of the all-time great ODI innings by Jos Buttler. Magnificent.
No team has chased 300-plus successfully in the ODIs in UAE, ever.
