England beat Pakistan by nine wickets to win the third day-night international here on Saturday, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the four-match series. Kevin Pietersen hit his first ODI century since November 2008, finishing unbeaten on 111 while Alastair Cook scored 80 as England easily chased a modest 223-run target set by Pakistan in 37.2 overs. Shahid Afridi (51) and Umar Akmal (50) helped Pakistan recover from a difficult position of 97-5 before Steven Finn (3-24) and Stuart Broad (3-42) knocked them out in 50 overs. England won the first match by 130 runs and the second by 20 runs -- both in Abu Dhabi.
