The team - consisting of John McGuinness, Stuart Airey and Jamie Chestney - stormed ahead in the early stages of the match, taking a 6-0 lead after the third end.

England maintained their strong position in the match with some solid play to move 11-2 ahead, but were soon pegged back by Pakistan as they moved within four points after the 11th end.

However, McGuinness, Airey and Chestney upped the ante to move away from their opponents to secure a convincing victory after 18 ends.

The triples are back in action later today when they face Australia.
