WORLD Twenty20 champion England celebrated its first international win since winning the World Cup in Barbados this year with a five-wicket win over controversy-hit Pakistan in Cardiff on Sunday.
England, set 127 to win in the first of two matches scheduled for Cardiff, was struggling on 62 for five at the halfway stage with Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi taking two cheap wickets with his brisk wrist spin.
However, Eoin Morgan was badly dropped at short fine-leg on 13 by Shoaib Akhtar attempting a reverse sweep and England eventually reached its target with 17 balls to spare.
England's premier bowler Graeme Swann showed his versatility in all forms of the game with two for 14 from his four overs. Pakistan scored from only 10 of the off-spinner's deliveries.
