Morgan ton settles troubled series

EOIN MORGAN’S second Rose Bowl hundred of the summer helped England clinch the troubled NatWest Series 3-2 with a landslide 121-run victory over Pakistan.

Thanks largely to Morgan, England recovered their composure after the ceaseless controversies of the past three weeks to halt Pakistan’s fightback from 2-0 down.

They therefore achieved their ambition of six consecutive series victories, across all formats this summer, despite the unwanted and at times all-consuming distractions of spot-fixing crises which have dominated Pakistan’s limited-overs campaign.
