"Some of the finest players of the game have been the same height as James Taylor. For me, it's him for man of the match."

The presentation ceremony awaits. If you've been with us for the previous ODIs, there isn't just a man of the match award, there are several intriguingly-named awards.

And the white-clad spaceman from the toss is back! Not sure what award he will be presenting. "Most Out Of This World performance"?

"Another gutsy person we should mention is Eoin Morgan. He's come on as a captain, he's really led from the front onwards since the summer. He's done that so well, and today was excellent. He had to fend off an awkward phase, he got that nasty cut on his chin, but he settled in and led the team nicely."

Stoney: The England batsmen showed some backbone when it was in the balance mid innings. The boys are becoming men.

Pete Naylor: Classic way to finish it, Jos. Good all round win, with Taylor's name inked in for the future too...

Taylor and Buttler are all smiles as they shake the hands of the Pakistan players and walk off before high-fiving and hugging their team-mates.

Taylor finishes unbeaten on 67 from 69 balls, with Buttler on 49 from 50. I wonder if he had considered hitting a four, rather than six, to level the scores and give himself a chance of an ODI fifty? But it was the last ball of the over - and it's a team game, after all.

"What a fantastic partnership. James Taylor has started to cement himself in this team. 

"It could have been a really awkward position when the ball was spinning everywhere, but you just feel that they've got that momentum - you can see the smiles on their faces."

ENGLAND BEAT PAKISTAN BY SIX WICKETS WITH NINE OVERS TO SPARE - LEAD SERIES 2-1

Jos Buttler gets England over the line as he blasts a six over cow corner to finish on 49 not out.

Taylor shovels Iftikhar for a two over his shoulder as Irfan lurches round the boundary at fine leg. Six to win.

Andy Cooper: Home in time for an #England, external win! Simple pleasures.

Anwar doesn't have the pace to trouble England, as Buttler knocks a single to third man to bring up 200 for the visitors, and Taylor does the same thing. Eight needed, and Aggers has spotted some sinister-looking blue-clad security guards ready to guard the pitch. ("There would only be an invasion here if you had the best high jumpers in the world ready to vault the fence," he points out).

Jack Ewins: James Taylor should have been a fixture for England for the last 18 months. Though that is hindsight of course.

Captain Azhar Ali is rotating his bowlers, more in hope than expectation, as he recalls right-arm seamer Anwar Ali who hasn't bowled since the fourth over. But he's bowling too short, giving up easy singles to the England pair who are picking them off as if they're swatting flies. 10 needed from 63 balls.

"There's a dejected, defeated look about Pakistan now. They know their number's up."

Jos Buttler is making sure he's still there at the end, playing out the rest of Iftikhar's over with an assured calm. 13 needed from 66.

David Melton: 50 for James Taylor, he's clearly having a "Lovely Day".

He'll have a Smiling Face by the end too. And I thought that "Lovely Day" was Bill Withers?
