And on that note, we sign off from this game. Thanks all for joining us, and please continue to do so throughout this World Cup!
Jos Buttler: "Nice to put in a good performance and finish this way. Lots to reflect on and ultimately disappointing but good to win today. We showed the true version of ourselves. We haven't shown enough what we're capable of. Lots of us haven't performed to our level. To not have him available for a few games was a challenge but we're a good enough team to have been able to deal with it.
"The World Cup as a whole is a disappointment. We spoke together about how if this is the last game for a lot of players, then let's make some good memories at the very least. David Willey's been fantastic. Ever since he came in in 2015. he always finds a way, a proper competitor, a real team man, and to be Player of the Match in his last match speaks volumes.
"I don't think there'll be a drastic change of plan like we had in 2015. There are a few things we need to change and build something new. Doesn't mean there'll be a huge clearout but we have work to do to become a top team again."
Babar Azam: "We conceded a few too many runs. We bowled a few loose deliveries towards the end. And out spinners' aren't taking wickets, which doesn't help. That has a big effect because you need to take wickets in the middle overs. The pitch is very true and the margin of error is very low for fast bowlers, which explains the big scores we have conceded. We will sit together and take stock. We'll take positives from this and discuss mistakes. I'm keen to lead the rebuild."
David Willey is the man of the match in his final international match.
"The tournament hasn't gone to plan for us as a whole which is disappointing. For me to be able to perform and get to 100 wickets in my last game has been a nice way to finish. You only have to look around the dressing room; we've got massive talent. There's no doubt we've underperformed here which is disappointing.
"People might have frowned at the timing of my retirement but nit many players get to walk out on their own terms. Rob Keys said to me hope you prove me wrong and I hope I've done that. Proud every time I've pulled on this shirt.
That T20 World Cup win in Australia last year was pretty special. I didn't actually play in the competition itself but that moment was very special."
Haris Rauf c Stokes b Woakes 35 (27m 23b 3x4 3x6) SR: 152.17
Rounak: "6 of us friends are watching this from our dorm in Kolkata and regretting not going to the stadium to watch this live:( Rooting for Rauf's 50 here, and who knows, even a hundred!!!" Pakistan need 94 in 42 now
Rhys: "If it goes the distance, Buttler has made a mess of his overs and he'll need at least one from Root now." Think he'll be fine, to be honest
Add to that board dysfunction, a key injury and a few out-of-form players, and that would sum up why Pakistan struggled at the tournament
Missing out on central contract left retiring bowler feeling like "a third wheel"
