Umar Gul produced a devastating spell of swing bowling taking six for 42 as Pakistan won the third one-day international against England here at The Oval by 23 runs on Friday.

Set 242 to win, England were in control as Eoin Morgan (61) and Luke Wright (48 not out) put on 98 for the sixth wicket. But when Morgan chipped Gul to midwicket, panic set in.

Gul then ripped out Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann, normally a calm head in tight situations, then holed out to the last ball of Gul's tenth over giving him his last four wickets for six runs in 18 balls.

The win keeps the five-match series alive with Pakistan now trailing 2-1, with Gul who the difference between the sides.
