England have gone up 1-0 in their One Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan after winning the second match in Southampton.

Batting first, the hosts amassed 373 for 3 with Jos Buttler smashing 110 off just 55.

Pakistan started their reply strongly with opener Fakhar Zaman hitting a quickfire century to help the tourists reach 227 for 1.

The third match will be played in Bristol on Tuesday.
