Batting first, the home side were powered to 373-3 by Jason Roy's 87, Jonny Bairstow's 51 and Joe Root's 40 before Jos Buttler hit the second-fastest English ODI century.
He partnered with captain Eoin Morgan, who were unbeaten with 110 and 71 respectively.
The wicketkeeper arrived at the beginning of the 36th over when England were 211-3.
His first 50 came from 33 balls, the second 50 from 17.
At the end of the devastation, he was left unbeaten on 110 with the thrilled Southampton crowd on their feet to applaud him back to the pavilion.
The unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 162 between Buttler and Morgan came from only 89 deliveries.
Fakhar Zaman responded with a century of his own for Pakistan, hitting 138 off 106 balls.
Asif Ali and Sarfaraz Ahmed kept the tourists in touch after the opener had been dismissed.
David Willey (2-57) and Liam Plunkett (2-64) coped well with the pressure, with the visitors chasing England's total.
The pace bowlers' wickets saw the required run rate soar to a near impossible feat.
With Chris Woakes delivering the final over, a series of wide yorkers prevented Pakistan from completing the run chase of 19 required from the last six balls, finishing on 361-7.
England will arrive at this summer's World Cup with the strongest top seven in the tournament, and here they decimated a wayward Pakistan attack without even having to call on Ben Stokes or Moeen Ali.
