Ali’s match reported has fizzed across the wires from Eden Gardens which is my cue to bid farewell.

Australia captain Pat Cummins:

Being out in the middle is easier than being sat in the dugout! It was a nerve-wracking couple of hours but a great effort and a great game. The good thing is a few of us have been to finals before. The stadium is going to be packed and pretty one-sided but we’ve got to embrace it. The 2015 World Cup was a career highlight, so to be in a final in India, I can’t wait.”
