    England seem to know how to win games. They have a DNA, a belief.

    England chased it down with so much control and ease. It was a very comfortable victory - in the end.

    Eoin Morgan is in fantastic form - and he continued that today. Some of the shots were outstanding, and some of the sixes were just huge.

    Six fours and four sixes followed for England's inspirational skipper.

    Pakistan's Mohammad Hafeez, who hit 69 off 36 balls, on BBC One: "I was pleased to play the knock. We were looking for 170-175, but unfortunately we were not on the winning side.

    "We did not execute the skills in the bowling, according to the plan."

    Well played, Dawid Malan. Very mature. He has been magnificent. He has used the angles nicely.

    England's Dawid Malan, who made an unbeaten 54 off 36 balls, on BBC One: "Awesome. When you bat in the top three you don't get many opportnities to win games, so it was nice to finish it off.

    "Walking off, I thought it was going to be a big ask. But the start that Jonny gave us, and the way Eoin came in, it shows why he is world class in this form. The way he changed momentum makes your life easier. He takes the pressure off you."

    England have now got 25 or 30 players who can play white-ball cricket. It's a great position to be in.

    England captain Eoin Morgan on BBC One: "We're delighted. At the halfway stage we thought it was a lot of runs to chase, but we found when we gathered momentum with partnerships, it was hard to stop you scoring. It's nice to come out the other side of it."

    On competition for places: "We have a lot of guys who could get into our best XI, and we're still looking to grow the team as much as we can for that World Cup."

    Eoin Morgan survived an lbw review second ball but his scintillating 66 from 33 balls with six fours and four sixes earns him the man of the match award.

    Tom Huffinley: Dawid Malan should be a shoo-in for England’s T20 team. Bloke averages just shy of 50 which is quite insane.

    Like Eoin Morgan, Dawid Malan reads the game really well. He picked the right shots off the right balls. The way he paced his innings was really impressive.

    Dawid Malan played an impressively calm innings in the mayhem of the T20 format. He has just paid a gracious tribute to his captain but it was Malan with an unbeaten 54 from 36 balls who took England to their target of 196 with five balls to spare.
