Overton strikes for England after Pakistan pass 200 in ODI tri-series
Overton takes a wicket for England in the tri-series after Pakistan pass 200. Salman Ali Agha hit 107 against Sri Lanka to set a Pakistan record for centurions from the lower middle order.
Jamie Overton took the wicket of a Pakistan batter after the hosts crossed 200 in the ongoing ODI tri-series match at Rawalpindi. Pakistan reached the milestone in their innings before Overton made the breakthrough for England.
The match is part of a tri-series that also includes Sri Lanka. Pakistan had earlier posted 305 for nine in their 50 overs during the opening match against Sri Lanka on Sunday, with Salman Ali Agha scoring 107 from 90 balls at number five.
Agha became Pakistan's leading ODI centurion from positions five or lower, surpassing Mohammad Yousuf's record. Pakistan won that opener by 37 runs after Sri Lanka lost their last five wickets for 15 runs.

Agha's record-breaking century shows how Pakistan's middle-order depth can compensate for the absence of established top-order batters in white-ball cricket.
