Pakistan dismisses misfiring England for 211 in semifinals

CARDIFF, Wales (AP) Hasan Ali took 3-35 as Pakistan bowled out a badly misfiring England for 211 in 49.5 overs Wednesday in the Champions Trophy semifinals at Sophia Gardens.

Joe Root top-scored with 46 off 56 balls before being caught behind off Shadab Khan, but England’s innings never really took off after being put into bat. The hosts started solidly to reach 118-2 in their first 25 overs and then lost eight wickets for 93 runs in the next 25.

Ali became the tournament’s highest wicket taker with key dismissals of Jonny Bairstow (43 off 57), Eoin Morgan (33 off 53) and Ben Stokes (34 off 64).
