Simon Burnton’s match report is here, which is the cue to shut this blog down. Night!

Jos Buttler’s verdict

I think we’ve got better and better throughout the series. [On Dawid Malan] He’s played fantastically well every time. Today was a fantastic hundred; he read the game very, very well. I thought 311 was a really good score on a wicket that was a little bit slow.

I thought the spinners [Moeen and Livingstone] bowled brilliantly. We know what they can do and it’s great to see it. They’re really valuable cricketers.

[You’re going to defend the World Cup. How well positioned are you?] We’re well positioned, we’re building nicely. We’re not trying to defend anything – we’re going there to try and win a World Cup. We’re in exactly the same position as every other team. It’s an exciting time.
