Boro's misery was sealed with another goal, then Chris Riggott was dismissed after he was booked for a second time.

Hi What is the meaning of the part in bold ,please?

England have won their first one-day internation,The visitors won by 42 runs after setting Pakistan a target of 327 - the highest number of runs England have ever scored in an overseas one-dayer..Pakistan replied with Salman Butt, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Shoaib Malik all making half centuries.But they were all out for 285 as Liam Plunkett claimed 3-51. The result ended a winning streak for Pakistan in limited-overs internationals.


What are the meaning of the parts in bold?:) england won or pakistan?

thanks
