Pakistan's disastrous tour of England has hit a new low after making its worst Twenty20 total to lose by six wickets for its second defeat in the two-match series.

Reeling from match-fixing allegations that have resulted in three of its players being suspended by the ICC, Pakistan was bowled out for 89 as England reached 90-4 in 14 overs to win a record-equaling seventh straight T20 match.

Tim Bresnan took 3-10, while England teammates Ryan Sidebottom, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann took two wickets each.

England captain Paul Collingwood made 21 and Eoin Morgan 18 not out in front of 5,821 people, just over a third of Sophia Gardens' capacity.

The teams meet Saturday at Durham to start a five-match 50-over series.
