London, June 22: Marcus Trescothick's unbeaten hundred guided England to a four-wicket win over Pakistan in the third and final one-day international at Lord's here today. The result gave England the series 2-1 - their first one-day series win since they won 5-0 in Zimbabwe in October 2001.
Trescothick's fifth one-day international hundred, which came off 101 balls including five fours, was decisive in the closely fought match.
But the Somerset left-hander, who made 86 in England's equalising win at the Oval on Friday, was twice dropped and twice nearly run out, the first time on one, before he finished the match with a six off Azhar Mahmood as England won with nine balls to spare. He received good support from Chris Read (25 not out), who helped him add 77 runs in 76 balls in an unbroken seventh-wicket stand.
Earlier Razzaq's blistering 64 off 53 balls took Pakistan to a competitive total of 229-7 after they were put in to bat in the rain-delayed match.
Azhar Mahmood, 20 not out, supported Razzaq in a stand of 60 from 37 balls, Pakistan scoring 91 in the last 10 overs. Younis Khan, out for nought in the two previous series matches, made a patient 63 which rescued Pakistan from the depths of 61 for four. Bureau Report
