Considering their resources, it's India that fail to see a job through more then any other international side.

Yep all things considered NZ probably over achieve more than any other international side. Consistently getting to the later stages of major tournaments.

I’ve never seen a batting display like that in such a high profile game before. Amazing!

It was ridiculous, the most comprehensive victory i've seen from an England side for as far as I can remember. What a stage to do it on as well.

And against India and in particular Kohli as well made it slightly better!!

Sadly the forecast for tomorrow and Monday, the reserve day, isn’t particularly good!

It will be a shame if the final is badly affected/ influenced by the weather

We’ll it’s got off on time so that’s something!

We're doing well so far could do with taking another couple of wickets though as they are starting to up the rate.

Awesome bowling display, especially Curran and Rashid.....restricting them to less than 140....that's only 7 per over we need to get...if Hales & Buttler get going like they did against the Indians then it could be over in 15 overs or less.

This is going to be a Pakistan win. Kicking myself I didn’t hammer the 9/4 an over ago.

It's not going well. Butler was a huge wicket!

England doing their best to throw this away hope I’m wrong

England trying very hard to give wickets away against a hostile attack. Pakistan’s total looked easily gettable but too much playing and missing from us. Some of the ones that turned into two during their innings, due to sloppy fielding, may yet prove very costly.

I think it’s just as much a case of Pakistan bowling and fielding absolutely magnificently.

Match changed in 4 deliveries

[Johnnyspireite7]

Still think we're going to lose? 7 from 2 overs? with every batter we've got having a first class century....2 times champions England!

The injury to Afidi changed to outcome totally.

Certainly did, but winners make the most of their opportunities, as our boys did yesterday. Well done England.

We play boundary chashing cricket - to the point we struggle when pursuing a 'peg it' sorta total.

Versus Sri Lanka and today.

Key moment Brooks' dismissal; partly 'cos he was going nowhere and partly 'cos it cost them a champion bowler...

A fantastic result! I also think we had the right mental attitude and approach to have won even if Afridi didn't get injured.
