Presentations coming soon...

Heather Knight: Trying to take some momentum into the semis today. The way our batters played today, it was really good. Very pleased with Danni, the way she was batting in the nets, it wasn't far away. Really pleased for the way she batted. I think so [do they have a XI in mind for the semi-final], lots of options which is really nice. It [the pitch] was good, more pace and carry, and Katherine made use of that nicely. Good to get used to it, haven't played here for a long time so good to be here

Nida Dar: It was not a result we wanted, it was disappointing. We know we were lacking the strength in our batting line-up. We have to learn from these kind of matches, and will take some positives from it. We played two good matches here so will learn something. It's the best time for youngsters to come up and take the challenge. We have Ayesha Naseem, and we should have more talent coming up like that. It's a milestone for me to be the top wicket-taker in T20Is. I want to do the best for my team, that's my goal.

That's all from me, Vishal Dikshit, and Srinidhi. Pretty one-sided game and England showed today they are also looking unstoppable, just like Australia. England and Australia both unbeaten with four wins, England's NRR 2.860 compared to Australia's 2.149. And in a few hours we'll also know who the second semi-finalist is from the other group - New Zealand or South Africa. Until next time, it's goodbye and good luck!

6.02pm Handshakes all around for the England players, with smiles on their faces and pats on their backs. A deflated Pakistan side hangs around in the outfield after congratulating the opponents. What a confidence booster this will be for England before their semi-final against New Zealand or South Africa, we'll know later tonight. Their top order fired with Wyatt back in form, and the explosive middle order, well, exploded again, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt again. What a reliable player she is. Chasing 200-plus was near impossible for Pakistan against a top side like England, that too without Maroof out with an injury, and England's combined bowling effort starting with early wickets sealed the big win.

Nat Sciver-Brunt the Player of the Match: It was alright at the start, their spinners bowled a little slower than ours. We thought the wicket was pretty good. The start from Wyatt was so important, Sophia and Alive have been batting so well so far, and it's so crucial. We'd been building well into this tournament, we hadn't been bowling that well. This was a really good performance.

lebigfella : "A walk in the park for England
 I'm comfortable with our batting vs Australia and now with this bowling attack England can really compete. Dunkley "

Eli: "Despite the crushing defeat, Tuba's batting here was something amazing out of nowhere. She had 2 runs in her international career today, and now she just scored 28 off 20?! That's incredible."

Jamie Dow: "Pakistan's final score of 99/9 reads like a call for urgent assistance!"

Ecclestone to Nashra Sandhu, OUT, a wicket off the last ball, just like for England, and what a massive, massive win! Sandhu came down, yorked herself, and missed the ball for a quick stumping. Ecclestone gets a wicket on the very last ball
