England pose briefly with the trophy, but it is left abandoned on the plinth as they all troop off to sleep before flying in the morning. The World Cup starts on June 2, England begin their title defence on Tuesday against Scotland; Pakistan’s tournament lifts off against the USA on Thursday.

Thanks for your company tonight, and see you during the World Cup. Good night!

Player of the match - Adil Rashid Player of the Series - Jos Buttler

Adil RAshid, for his 2-27 and a couple of catches. “Trying to be clever, bowling tight lines, its very crucial to assess the conditions, varying the pace.

Hoping to win another?

“Inshallah thats the aim, get another trophy, not going to be easy, have to have the right mindset.”

Jos Buttler, winning captain, and player of the series. “Good feeling around the squad, Edgbaston especially the bowling group and again here. I think the quest to keep improving is how I improve, given me a bit of extra energy and motivation. It would have been good to have a few more games but good to get a couple of wins. Selection is always difficult, got lots of different options, great to see Jofra and Mark Wood.”
