MUGDHA FARHEEN : "Correction Danyal, India's allotted semi final does not have a reserve day, instead has 250 additional minutes to complete the game. " Sorry, yep you're correct.

Jos Buttler's beaming in his own understated way. "I thought if we could bring our intensity we'd be too good," he says. He says they wanted to give themselves a chance of topping this group. Pays rich tribute to Rashid and Livingstone. "We've got great options. We wanted to bring Chris Jordan back, adds a bit of depth with his batting capabilities as well. A World Cup hat-trick is a great effort."

Feels he's more confident in his own game, too. "I'm still one of the 11, I've got to do my job."

Aaron Jones says it's a hard game to get to grips with. "I guess you could say [we've run out of steam]. We've not had a good last two games. Something to look forward at for sure when we get back. But we've really enjoyed this tournament. I think our shot selection wasn't the best. We knew he was the dangerman but we still gave him some wickets."

Jones talks about his hopes for cricket in America. "This is our first World Cup. I don't think people would have thought we'd be playing here against the big boys. Hopefully this will open the eyes of the American public. We've got a lot of calls and messages of support during this World Cup."

So England have done the bare minimum they needed to do - and no more. They've been very efficient with the timing and size of their victories, and it's resulted in them becoming the first semi-finalists of this tournament.

Vinay: "I have a query.. what would be the result if India vs England semi finals wash out.."

Adil Rashid is the player of the match "All the bowlers bowled extremely well and to restrict them to 115 was very pleasing. Always nice to keep it tight and get an early wicket which brings the new batter in," says Rashid. "With the wind you have to assess which end you're going to bowl. The googly's been coming out nicely too."

He has nice words about Chris Jordan. "CJ's a matchwinner. He's been doing it for a number of years, especially at the back end. Jos is a world-class player and has been formany a year, and hopefully we can carry it on now in the semi-finals."

Right, we'll be back in about ten minutes as England try to knock these runs off quickly.

"Very nice to do this at a special place like this," a beaming Jordan says. "I thought we worked out the conditions well. Rash came on and controlled one end, and the way Livi bowled set the game up for us. Points first and foremost, but if we get the opportunity to get our run rate up we'll have a look at that."

What a collapse this was from the US - 5 wickets in six balls to wrap up the American innings.

Jordan to Netravalkar, OUT, gets a hat-trick to sign off!. The Bajan boy gets a hat-trick at the Kensington Oval, and just look at the delight on his face. His teammates mob him as the crowd cheers, and what a ball to seal it, too! Length ball that pierces the gap between bat and bat, and knocks the middle peg out of the ground. Beautiful moment, that, as Jordan leads his side off on the island he was brought up on

SN Netravalkar b Jordan 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

18.4
W
Jordan to Kenjige, OUT, plumb in front! No doubt about that, even though Kenjige reviews. Trapped in front of middle, and he's hit half way up the shin. This will be out as soon as we're finished with the Hawkeye motions. And it is. Jordan on a hat-trick, and England one wicket away from bowling the USA out

NP Kenjige lbw b Jordan 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

We should know the exact permutation at the innings break

18.3
W
Jordan to Ali Khan, OUT, almost copy and paste, with the key difference being he knocks over off stump this time. Jordan stuck with the same line and length, and it was just too good for Ali Khan, who tried to chop it behind square

Ali Khan b Jordan 0 (1m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

18.2
0
Jordan to Ali Khan, no run, swing and a miss. It was a length ball there to be hit, but when he missed it whooshed past the top of off stump
18.1
W
Jordan to Anderson, OUT, low full toss at pace. Those balls are difficult to get away, and all Anderson can do is pick out Brook at long-on. He barely needs to move a muscle as he sends Anderson on his way for a stodgy 29

CJ Anderson c Brook b Jordan 29 (43m 28b 0x4 1x6) SR: 103.57

AJ: "This current team USA is a bunch of very average athletes at best. There are tens of thousands of baseball players in high school who have never played cricket, who can produce better results than this team. Once some the best athletes in the USA come into this game, team USA will be a super team, beyond anything ever seen before in cricket." It would be nice if more athletes got into cricket in the US, though the rest of this is just nonsense I'm afraid

END OF OVER:

W
Curran to Harmeet Singh, OUT, slaps the full toss to long-off, but this one's easy for Chris Jordan, and Sam Curran signs off a costly over with a wicket. It was there to be hit, but Harmeet couldn't catch it out of the middle, and once it was within Jordan's grasp, Harmeet was a dead man walking

Harmeet Singh c Jordan b Curran 21 (19m 17b 2x4 1x6) SR: 123.52

6
Curran to Harmeet Singh, SIX, sat back in anticipation of the pace on delivery, and when it came, he clobbered it over long-on. Harry Brook stood poised right on the edge and gets a desperate left hand trying to keep it from sailing over, but cannot manage it, and the US pick up six more!

Curran to Harmeet Singh, FOUR, read the slower ball this time, danced down the wicket and lifted it cleanly over Moeen this time, picking up four runs
17.3
2
Curran to Harmeet Singh, 2 runs, full toss at pace, and Moeen Ali drops a tough chance at extra cover. He jumped but only managed to get fingertips on it, which probably saved England a couple of runs as it's fielded on the boundary
17.2
1
Curran to Anderson, 1 run, back of the hand slower ball outside off stump, squeezed down to long-off
17.1
1
Curran to Harmeet Singh, 1 run, bangs another slower ball bouncer into the surface, and all he can do is guide it into the onside

Jordan to Harmeet Singh, 1 run, comes down the track and Jordan bowls it slow again. Smeared through the onside for another laboured single
