MUGDHA FARHEEN : "Correction Danyal, India's allotted semi final does not have a reserve day, instead has 250 additional minutes to complete the game. " Sorry, yep you're correct.
Jos Buttler's beaming in his own understated way. "I thought if we could bring our intensity we'd be too good," he says. He says they wanted to give themselves a chance of topping this group. Pays rich tribute to Rashid and Livingstone. "We've got great options. We wanted to bring Chris Jordan back, adds a bit of depth with his batting capabilities as well. A World Cup hat-trick is a great effort."
Feels he's more confident in his own game, too. "I'm still one of the 11, I've got to do my job."
Aaron Jones says it's a hard game to get to grips with. "I guess you could say [we've run out of steam]. We've not had a good last two games. Something to look forward at for sure when we get back. But we've really enjoyed this tournament. I think our shot selection wasn't the best. We knew he was the dangerman but we still gave him some wickets."
Jones talks about his hopes for cricket in America. "This is our first World Cup. I don't think people would have thought we'd be playing here against the big boys. Hopefully this will open the eyes of the American public. We've got a lot of calls and messages of support during this World Cup."
So England have done the bare minimum they needed to do - and no more. They've been very efficient with the timing and size of their victories, and it's resulted in them becoming the first semi-finalists of this tournament.
Vinay: "I have a query.. what would be the result if India vs England semi finals wash out.."
Adil Rashid is the player of the match "All the bowlers bowled extremely well and to restrict them to 115 was very pleasing. Always nice to keep it tight and get an early wicket which brings the new batter in," says Rashid. "With the wind you have to assess which end you're going to bowl. The googly's been coming out nicely too."
He has nice words about Chris Jordan. "CJ's a matchwinner. He's been doing it for a number of years, especially at the back end. Jos is a world-class player and has been formany a year, and hopefully we can carry it on now in the semi-finals."
Right, we'll be back in about ten minutes as England try to knock these runs off quickly.
"Very nice to do this at a special place like this," a beaming Jordan says. "I thought we worked out the conditions well. Rash came on and controlled one end, and the way Livi bowled set the game up for us. Points first and foremost, but if we get the opportunity to get our run rate up we'll have a look at that."
What a collapse this was from the US - 5 wickets in six balls to wrap up the American innings.

AJ: "This current team USA is a bunch of very average athletes at best. There are tens of thousands of baseball players in high school who have never played cricket, who can produce better results than this team. Once some the best athletes in the USA come into this game, team USA will be a super team, beyond anything ever seen before in cricket." It would be nice if more athletes got into cricket in the US, though the rest of this is just nonsense I'm afraid
