Righto, that’s us done here. A fantastic game, England are hitting their straps at just the right time. New Zealand now have a nervy wait, they need Sri Lanka to do them a favour by beating Pakistan.
We’ll be bringing you the semi-finals and final next week but that’s all from me today, goodbye!
England Captain Harry Brook:
Are England peaking at right time?
I think so. We still haven’t played that perfect game. But we’ve got over the line in close games and that stands you in good stead going into the final stages.”
On Jos Buttler’s tribulations:
There’s been a lot said about Jos. He’s played 150 games for England and people need to take a little step back. He’s probably the best white-ball player to play the game. He’s in a rut but it’s exciting to know what he could produce in the next few games.
He’s got fire in his belly and wants to show people what he’s made of. He’s a phenomenal player and I’ve no doubt he’ll go out and do well.”
On the in form Will Jacks:
He’s a proper batter. There was one instance when we played against West Indies at the start of the summer and he leaned on the first ball through the covers for four, or two. It’s a good sign. A lot of lower-order players block or wild swing. He’s a proper batter, he’s played Test cricket, and he’s got immense power as well.”
On the semi-final:
Whoever we’re facing, they’re going to be tough opposition. We’ve already played West Indies at the Wankhede. It’s nice to go back to a ground we’ve played on. Both sides are powerful teams. We’ve got to do the little things well.”
