Jonny Bairstow hit a maiden half-century and paceman Steven Finn took three wickets to guide England to a comfortable 38-run win in the second Twenty20 international against Pakistan on Saturday.
England's Jonny Bairstow (R) plays a shot next to Pakistan's wicketkeeper Umar Akmal during the second Twenty20 match between Pakistan and England at the Dubai international cricket stadium in Dubai Sports City. England beat Pakistan by 38 runs, levelling the three-match series at 1-1.
Bairstow's 60 off 46 balls, studded with two sixes and five boundaries, helped England recover from a precarious 79-4 to post a challenging 150-7 before Finn claimed 3-30 to bowl Pakistan out for 112 in 18.2 overs at Dubai Stadium.
