Final over. Marple CC need one run to win. Bramhall CC need five wickets. All five wickets were taken and the match was tied. Here are four of the wickets (sadly, one in unavailable.)

@NickMiller79 Same result though. “Probably umpire’s call”. Missing leg by a distance.

Very enjoyable how Stuart Broad's judgement of whether a decision should be reviewed is so measured and conservative now he's a commentator.

Is tearing everything down & starting again every two years rather than the usual four or five going to improve things? Everyone knows England are not the worst Test in the world, they’re not the best either, but that table is essentially pointless at this stage.

Ignoring the issues around the WTC, it is barely two years since England essentially cleared house across the board. Less than two years since they won the T20 World Cup both coach/ captain are (not unreasonably) under big pressure. I’d say there’s still accountability.
Barney Ronay@barneyronay

Odd that England are bottom of the test table and have lost two world titles in a year and it just doesn’t matter, no one is accountable because meh, kind of an exhibition sport these days. Nobody likes the hounding part of sport. But without a hard edge it kind of dies

@jackbern23 This point still stands but the women’s team did make the Euros final in 2009.

@OliBurley You can say that about Saka and Foden too, they can’t all start because you need some variety. Not saying Palmer definitely shouldn’t & he was decent when he came on. Point is more about Southgate & the system.

@SamDrury11 But he has vision, can play an astute pass forward, will take people on and can cross. Obvious starter for me. 👍 🏆

England may well go on to win & Cole Palmer is a good player but he’s another one who wants to drift more central. Somehow they’ve made a sub to give them even less width…

Add it to the list of very normal things at ICC events that includes fudging the groups to guarantee certain matches & one side having a pre-determined time & venue for the semi-final that everyone else has to work around.
Henry Moeran@henrymoeranBBC

So England will play India in Guyana on Thursday. A couple of things to note: - the forecast is less than ideal - India will qualify if the game is washed out having won their group Unusually, this second semi-final has no rain-reserve day. The first one in Trinidad does.

Four wickets in an over for Jordan, now five sixes in an over for Jos Buttler. He’s just ridiculous.

What a moment for Chris Jordan! Middle stump out of the ground to complete the hat-trick. Brilliant. #T20WorldCup

In a massive shock, taking Alexander-Arnold off hasn’t magically fixed all of England’s problems.

Genuinely, if any other player had put in the performance he did first half, no one would be talking about them. Positively or negatively.

Entertaining how people are so convinced Alexander-Arnold in midfield is the problem & the reason they’re so passive as if they haven’t played this way for years. He’s been as 6/10 as the rest of them.
