Well, that just about wraps things up for us here. Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you guys again in a couple of days.
Moeen Ali saunters up. "Brilliant performance. We pulled the game back really well. A lot of praise to the bowlers who set it up nicely for our batters. Those crucual wickets around the 10th over made a difference. It wasn't an easy wicket for the new batters. Luke Wood and Adil Rashid were excellent."
Babar up now. "The way we played the first Powerplay was great. After 10 overs, there was a swing of momentum, which you have to credit England for. We didn't have enough big partnerships. Our batters need to step up."
Luke Wood wins the Player of the Match award. "Very enjoyable performance. It's my debut, so can't complain. It's obviously different to England. They had a good start, but you kind of work it out quickly. We kept taking wickets, which was key, and had a pretty good backend."
Luke Wood wins the Master Blaster of the match, while Rizwan wins the complete performer of the match.
Alex Hales wins the best batter of the match
The, ahem, feel-good player of the match award goes to Adil Rashid.
Luke Wood wins the Best bowler of the match award. This isn't the player of the match award, mind
We're about to have the presentation ceremony.
Pakistan comprehensively beaten, and never had control ever since England broke Pakistan's opening partnership really. The home side fell well short of a par score, and England took full advantage to draw first blood.
Sankalp: "Turing team won handsomely. Just plucking low hanging fruit:)" I'll allow this one

Join us again in about ten minutes, when Alan will have the first half of the chase for you.
What a remarkable comeback this has been from the visitors. Moeen Ali has a definite strut in his step as they walk off, and England will fancy chasing this. Just 71 in the final ten overs after Rizwan and Babar had helped get Pakistan off to a brilliant start. But England varied the pace adriotly, and Pakistan's middle order really didn't have much of an answer. Wood was the star on debut, registering figures of 4-0-24-3.
Usman Dewan: "This was a 190 pitch and Pakistan struggling to get to 160. Serious pondering required before the world cup. "

Dr Sabeeh: "I don't understand what's happening here. English pacers are playing with Pakistani hitter. They are just bowling yorkers and batters aren't playing differently to make those yorkers count other than ducking. Excellent bowling"
Ajmal Abbas : "Classical case of middle order collapse. I mean why? How? "

So, about that Iftikhar stumping appeal it appears the umpire had turned away to signal the wide to the scorers, which indicates he considered the ball to be dead. For what it's worth, the batter's foot never really left the crease, so it's a bit of a moot point
