But Stokes (52 not out) and Moeen Ali (19) used their experience and cool heads to guide England to 138-5 with six balls to spare, climaxing a riveting tournament that spanned 45 games over nearly a month. | Above: Pakistan's Naseem Shah (C) gestures as England's Moeen Ali (L) and Ben Stokes (R) run between the wickets.

The victory added to the 50-over title England won in 2019, building on the legacy of former captain Eoin Morgan, who retired this year after transforming the team into a white-ball juggernaut. | Above: England's Sam Curran celebrates a wicket.
