World Cup: England sign off with big win over Pakistan and qualify for Champions Trophy

Current champions England ended their dismal World Cup campaign with a 93-run victory over Pakistan on Saturday, denying the 1992 champions the miracle they needed to make it to the last four of the showpiece 50-over tournament. Electing to bat at Eden Gardens, England racked up a solid 337-9, with three of their top four batters smashing fifties in their third 300-plus total. Pakistan were all out for 244 in the 44th over and bowed out of the tournament after their fifth loss in nine matches.
