    England leg-spinner Adil Rashid: "When you get out there, you assess conditions. I did slow it up. Getting wickets gave me confidence to bowl even slower.

    "There will be a lot of twos and threes, we have to run hard. We have to stick to our strengths and be courageous."

    Of course they would. I think they would have settled for anything under 165 to be honest. The average winning score when batting first on this ground is 181.

    That does not feel enough.

    England have got smiles on their faces. They would have settled for that.

  4. Pak 137-8published at 20 overs

    Chris Jordan goes short again for the final ball. Shaheen Afridi cannot get bat on ball but Pakistan managed to scramble a bye through to Jos Buttler.

    Pakistan reach 137-8. Which means England need 138 to win the T20 World Cup.

    That is a lucky edge. That has cheered the Pakistan fans up a little bit.

  6. Pak 136-8published at 19.5 overs

    Not pretty, but effective.

    It is another short delivery from Chris Jordan, Shaheen Afridi goes for a wild pull and the ball top-edges over Jos Buttler for four.

  7. Pak 132-8published at 19.4 overs

    Haris Rauf is the new batter and scrambles a single into the leg-side.

    What a good catch that was. It was low down. He judged it perfectly.

    Wasim c Livingstone b Jordan 4 (Pak 131-8)

    Livingstone has caught another one!

    This was a really good take too as he had to run in a few yards and dive forwards to take it with two hands.

    Dot, dot, wicket for Chris Jordan so far in this final over.

    No, but what you can say is keep your eyes on the ball.

    You can't really touch someone to play that shot in the middle of a final...

  12. Pak 131-7published at 19.2 overs

    It is exactly the same delivery and exactly the same outcome the next delivery.

    Plenty of concerned faces among the Pakistan fans in the crowd.

  13. Pak 131-7published at 19.1 overs

    Chris Jordan will bowl the final over.

    The first delivery is short and Mohammad Wasim goes for a wild swing but cannot get anything on the ball.

    Sam Curran is a successful England run chase away from being player of the tournament in his first World Cup.

    Sam Curran, take a bow. That is a brilliant spell of bowling.

  16. Pak 131-7published at 19 overs

    This is brilliant again from Sam Curran, mixing up his length and pace to outfox the Pakistan batters.

    He ends with figures of 3-12 from his four overs. In a World Cup final.

    Outstanding.

    Livingstone's hands are like a magnet and the ball keeps flying into them.

    Mohammad Nawaz c Livingstone b Curran 5 (Pak 129-7)

    Sam Curran strikes again!

    It is another routine catch for Liam Livingstone too as Mohammad Nawaz clips the ball off his pads and straight to mid-wicket.

    Ben Stokes has been picking up paper aeroplanes and throwing them back into the crowd.

  20. Pak 127-6published at 18 overs

    Those overthrows aside, that was another decent over form Chris Jordan, who is so effective in the death overs.
