Thanks for joining us today. On behalf of Rashad, me and Vairavan, good night. Let's hope tomorrow's semi-final is as exciting as this. Do join us tomorrow

Thomas Rew: The dressing room is buzzing. We had a great game of cricket. Our bowlers bowled really well. We had the confidence and luckily it paid off today. I found that it was better wicket and found it tougher to bat on (on getting the spinners later). We are not not to far. We are looking forward to the final(on being asked whom they would want to face in the final)"

Oliver Peake: I am better physically now. Very disapponted with the result. Sometimes you are outplayed and it was one of those days. Rew played a good innings and they showed us how to do it in the middle overs. They really showed us the way with the ball. Their bowlers bowled a shorter line than what we bowled. They got the most out of the wicket. We had full faith until the end and yet I think It was 20 runs too many. I think the boys will take heaps away. I saw us improve from the time we arrived to now. We saw different conditions and it was incredible

Thomas Rew is the Player of the match: It's a great feeling. Just enjoy this and it was a great game of cricket. Ollie batted incredibly well. We felt it was a good wicket. This wicket was a lot better than the previous two games we played here. I definitely wasn't calm. I was nervous

England were the better team today. All of it was down to their captain and his partnership with Falconer. Their bowlers bowled well and it was an all round performance by England today

Minto to Peake, OUT, England are throught to the final! Fuller ball outside the off stump. He looks to drive over the point fielder but ends up driving to the point fielder. Wait, the umpires in the middle are going to the third umpire if it was indeed a catch. The doubt is if pitched on impact and not on the legality of the catch. Replays show that he is out. Good sportsmanship by the England players to run to Peake to shake hands with him before celebrating

Minto to Peake, no run, takes guard on the off stump. Fuller ball outside the off stump. He looks to drive it and gets an edge back to the bowler

Minto into the attack. How will Peake approach this ? Don't think he will look to run. He is cramping up badly. Looks like his forearm and palm are cramping as well.

END OF OVER:
47 | 4 Runs 1 Wkt | AUS19: 250/9 (28 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 5.31, RRR: 9.33)

Matthew: "Noticeable that Peake and Rew appear to be a class above in terms of their ability at this level. Just look like they have that magic touch of really high quality players."

Lumsden to Peake, no run, fuller ball outside the off stump. He drives it to cover but can't retain the strike. Is it a cramp? He is clutching his hamstring and also looking to do something to the toe.

Lumsden to Peake, FOUR, full and wide outside the off stump. He just unfurls a drive past cover for a boundary. Superb shot to get to 99. He has taken 22 runs off this over. Will he take a single the last ball or look for a single ?

Lumsden to Peake, FOUR, fuller ball outside the off stump. He looks to go inside out but gets an outside edge to third man for a boundary. It seemed like he was hobbling. Is he alright?

Lumsden to Peake, SIX, short ball outside the off stump. He pulls it behind square over the ropes for a six. Good start to the over. Will he look to attack more ?

END OF OVER:
45 | 11 Runs | AUS19: 224/8 (54 runs required from 30 balls, RR: 4.97, RRR: 10.80)

  • Oliver Peake77 (78b)
  • Charles Lachmund2 (5b)
  • Ralphie Albert9-0-45-2
  • Manny Lumsden8-2-33-2

54 runs in 5 overs seems doable, but there's no one to keep the momentum going with Oliver Peake. It has to be a one man show from here on, if Australia are to win
