Pietersen reached his century off 94 balls and hit nine fours and two sixes.

He eventually finished undefeated on 111 as England chased down their target of 222 to take a 3-0 lead in the four-game series.

Earlier, 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 runsu00a0-- both in Abu Dhabi.
