England square Pakistan series

9:34 am on 26 February 2012

England has beaten Pakistan by 38 runs in Dubai to level their three-match Twenty20 international series at 1-1.

Batsman Jonny Bairstow and bowler Steven Finn inspired England with man of the match Bairstow, son of the late former England wicketkeeper David, belting five fours and two sixes.

England chose to bat first under lights and chalked up 150 for seven with the 22-year-old Bairstow clubbing an unbeaten 60 in 46 balls.

Paceman Finn returned figures of three for 30.

The third and final match will be in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
