Brilliant centuries from Jos Buttler and Joe Root were not enough to carry England to a record World Cup chase as Pakistan produced a stunning upset at Trent Bridge.
Root's 107 was the first ton of the tournament and Buttler was in irresistible form with 103 in 76 balls but both men fell before the finishing line, with Pakistan closing out a 14-run victory.
A target of 349 invited England to go where no other team had gone before at this level and while their master batsmen were in charge it looked as though they could, should and then would make it two wins from two. Re-live the action in the live blog below
England 322/9
Wicket!
Jofra Archer knows he has to get a six, but he calves it towards third man and Mohammad Amir has a wicket via Wahab Riaz's catch.
49.0 England 324/9
Mark Wood and Adil Rashid need 25 off six balls. No pressure, lads.
49.3
Mark Wood finds four after a dot. Before anyone gets excited Wahab's next delivery carries through.
England need 21 from three.

The report
Jonathan Liew: "In a tournament as dangerously open as this, England learned that the weight of expectation can bow even the sturdiest of shoulders."
