England Women took an unassailable 2-0 lead in their T20 International series against Pakistan after Amy Jones starred in an 84-run win in Kuala Lumpur.

Jones' 89 and a 36-ball 55 from fellow opener Danielle Wyatt helped England reach 185 for five in their 20 overs at Kinrara Academy Oval.

Anam Amin and Nida Dar took two wickets apiece for Pakistan, with Syeda Aroob Shah taking the other wicket.

Iram Javed led Pakistan's reply with 38 but, with only two others reaching double figures, they fell well short of their intended target, making 101 for nine.

Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone and Mady Villiers each took two wickets as England eased to a second successive victory.

In the first match in Malaysia earlier this week, Jones hit 10 fours in a 39-ball 53, while Nat Sciver and Tammy Beaumont also impressed as England won by 29 runs.

They also triumphed 2-0 in the recent three-match ODI series, with the third contest halted by rain.
