    This small part of south London has been invaded. Flags, horns, drums, a sea of blue and green. It's absolutely brilliant. Better than if England were in the final?

  4. India's route to the finalpublished at 09:57 British Summer Time 18 June 2017

    India had to overcome Bangladesh - a side who grew in confidence as the tournament progressed - to reach the final.

    Bangladesh were cruising at 154-2 in the middle overs and Kohli cut a frustrated figure, but his bowlers struck at the crucial moment.

    Kedar Jadhav started the collapse as Bangladesh slipped to 264-7.

    India then cruised to the final, courtesy of an unbeaten 123 from Rohit Sharma and 96 not out from Virat Kohli, as they sealed victory with just under 10 overs to spare.

  5. Pakistan's route to the finalpublished at 09:55 British Summer Time 18 June 2017

    Standing between Pakistan and a place in the final was England, the bookies' favourites who had the advantage of home conditions.

    However, on a sluggish pitch, it was England who floundered with the bat and Pakistan's bowlers barely missed a beat.

    Led by Hasan Ali, Pakistan chipped away at England, who could only muster 211, before Pakistan cantered to victory.

    Fakhar Zaman made 57 and Azhar Ali hit 76 as an eight wicket victory was sealed with 12.5 overs to spare.

  6. India's route to the finalpublished at 09:53 British Summer Time 18 June 2017

    India topped Group B but it wasn't as straightforward as it sounds for the defending champions.

    First up was Pakistan and India barely broke sweat as they bowled their rivals out for 164, before Virat Kohli anchored the run chase with an unbeaten 81.

    However, they were stunned by Sri Lanka, who chased down 322 for the second time in one-day cricket to beat India by seven wickets.

    That took things to the last game, and India crushed a lackluster South Africa by an emphatic eight wickets to set up their semi-final meeting with Bangladesh.

  7. Pakistan's route to the finalpublished at 09:51 British Summer Time 18 June 2017

    So, how did we get to this final?

    Pakistan put in a sloppy performance with the bat and in the field in their opening match against India and were thumped by 124 runs.

    They improved against South Africa, with a hostile spell of bowling limiting their opponents to 219-8 as they secured a 19-run victory on DLS.

    However, it wouldn't be Pakistan in an international tournament if they didn't make life difficult for themselves.

    After reducing Sri Lanka to 236 with a supreme display of bowling, Pakistan tripped from 110-3 to 162-7 before eventually securing a three wicket win and a place in the semi-finals.
