England, chasing a massive victory target of 354, were bowled out for 188 in 42 overs on the way to a record-equalling defeat which left them 2-1 down in the series.

They also lost to West Indies by 165 runs in 1992-93.

Pakistan's victory charge was started by wicketkeeper Akmal who followed up his 102 in the second match at Lahore with a sparkling 109.

The opener's third one-day hundred, made from only 111 balls and including 12 fours, powered Pakistan to a mammoth 353 for six before a sell-out crowd despite stringent security measures.

England are the first non-Asian team to play at the venue for five years due to security concerns.
