England captain Andrew Strauss told his players not to drop their standards after they achieved a rare one-day International (ODI) victory which gave them a chance of squaring their series against Pakistan.

An eight-wicket win under the Trent Bridge floodlights left England 2-1 down in the five-match encounter heading into Sunday’s series finale at Edgbaston and was their first success in any form of limited overs cricket against a major nation this home season.

Strauss told reporters: “We’ve worked very hard to get this first win and now it’s really important we build on it. “We’ve got to do the things we did well today again at Edgbaston. I certainly don’t think anyone will be taking their foot off the accelerator,” he added. Strauss said it was vital for the team’s future success that they didn’t just rely on their established stars.
