England vs Pakistan, 1st Semi-final at Cardiff, Jun 14 2017 - Match Result

5.30pm: Pakistan Zindabad! England have been ousted and the Champions Trophy will see two teams from the subcontinent contest the final... Just one of many surprises this tournament has thrown up. David Hopps' report will tell the tale of another famous uprising as Pakistan stormed Cardiff and booked themselves in for The Oval on Sunday. We'll have more reaction on the site soon and you can start getting in the mood for India v Bangladesh, ahead of full bells-and-whistles commentary in the morning. And we'll be back for more frolics in the final, of course. For now, from Miller and myself, thanks for your comments, as always. It's been a blast (from the past - 1992, say)... Cheerio!

5.20pm: Captain's presentations now, starting with Eoin Morgan: "One thing we didn't do was adapt to conditions, coming from Edgbaston to a used wicket, Pakistan did that well and played better. We did prepare, Pakistan bowled well but we didn't adjust and 200 isn't competitive, 250-270 would be a good score. [Used pitch in semi-final] It's a test... There wasn't [too much wrong]. We bowled okay but 200 was well under par. We continue to learn, everything we did was calculated, but Pakistan had played on the wicket previously and that helped. You have to adapt in knockout cricket, so it's an important lesson."

Pakistan's Sarfraz Ahmed: "We bowled very well and after that the batting was good too. Mohammad Amir wasn't playing but Raees came in and did well. We elected to bowl and chase again [which worked]. After India, every game was a knockout game, I said to the players to just play your game. [India rematch in the final?] Both teams are playing well, so we will play whoever gets through. [Hasan performance?] He's very impressive, hopefully he will do that in the final. Whenever he comes on he's getting wickets."

5.10pm: Hugs on the field and among the players on the balcony, jubilation from the green-clad masses in the stands. What a performance this has been from Pakistan! They have knocked off the runs, knocked over the hosts, knocked out the favourites and will meet the winner of tomorrow's match between India and Bangladesh. The players are taking a tour of the pitch, led by Sarfraz, whose inspirational innings at this ground a couple of days ago dragged Pakistan into an unexpected semi-final. Should India live up to their billing and win through to the final, it would be a rematch of their (rather one-sided) group stage encounter... Chance for rewenge? There's absolutely no discounting Bangladesh, of course, the way this tournament is going. It could be No. 6 in the world versus No. 8 (when the Champions Trophy began) in the final!

Hasan Ali was the star of the show with the ball and is named Man of the Match: "It's a big match, so we focused on our bowling. [Improvements after India game?] My coach Azhar Mahmood helped me a lot, he gave me the plan and I implemented it. [Prize wicket?] Morgan. Tomorrow is my brother's birthday and I dedicate this to him."

"Only Englishmen entertaining today are the commentators on Cricinfo!" Thanks, Uvindu. We'll take that

Moeen Ali back on now, Pakistan in sight

"Ordained champions are on their way out. Real cricket is played on the pitch...not in the TV studio," mithers Delboy. On the pitch, between the ears - but definitely not on paper

The umpires then inform Morgan that he had too many men outside the circle, so it is therefore a no-ball... and a free hit

Here's Ben Stokes again. His first spell was expensive... Hafeez to channel Carlos Brathwaite and finish it in sixes?

"Most unpredictable team for a reason ...Who else senses that Pakistan will shock the world in the final #IndvsPak." You seem to predicting tomorrow's semi-final result as well, Oomer. Shurely shome mishtake?

On come the drinks for the final time in this match. Pakistan need 25 to win, with eight wickets in hand and surely even the most battle-scarred of their supporters can't fail to believe they are going to pull this off

Short midwicket and short cover in, England trying (in vain) to squeeze...
