This is crazy, crazy viewing!
You would think England are going to get over the line but they lost Harry Brook and shortly after lost Will Jacks...
As a number 10, you do not want to be in during this situation!
Overton st Khan b Nawaz 0 (Eng 161-8)
Don't panic captain Mainwaring, don't panic!
Jamie Overton dances down to Mohammad Nawaz, slogs, misses and is stumped.
Some late jitters.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
You don't want to take this into the last over because then anything can happen.
Even Ben Duckett looks nervous!
Liam Dawson off the mark with a single to Mohammad Nawaz
Jamie Overton clips it to leg but sends Dawson back.

Tough couple of months for the skipper, but wow what a way to drag your side into a semi-final!

Is there going to be another twist in this game?
Surely not! England need five runs from 11 balls but, as we know, it's not easy out there in the middle. Only two batters have got in on this surface today.
Jacks b Nawaz 28 (Eng 160-7)
Will Jacks backs away and attempts to slog the winning runs but misses.
Mohammad Nawaz picks up a late wicket. It should just be a consolation.
Wides aside, a pretty good over from Salman Mirza.
He almost picks up a wicket when Will Jacks slashes at his final delivery and the ball flies down to third, but the fielder cannot quite get there in time to make it a chance.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Will Jacks knows this situation just requires that they knock the ball about.
Pakistan have to change their tactic here because they do still have a glimmer of hope, if they can just get a couple of dot balls and force an error.
Target 165
Jamie Overton the new batter but Salman Mirza seems intent to finish this with extras - two wides so far in his over.
England one hit away now.

Harry Brook is a serious talent.
Joe, Somerset
And THAT is why Brook is so infuriating. He can play like an absolute doughnut at times but then can get a masterful ton. Well played, Sir!
Keith, Fair Oak
All things considered, this might end up being innings of the tournament. Superb from Brook - a real captain's innings.
Max, London
Brook b Shaheen 100 (Eng 155-6)
A brilliant innings is brought to a close the ball after the England skipper reached three figures.
Shaheen Afridi slides a slower yorker into the stumps as Brook attempts to punch to the covers.
The Pakistan batter comes down the pitch and offers a handshake to Brook.
Respect.

Harry Brook's first century in T20 international cricket!
The skipper gets a massive hug from Will Jacks. He is taking his side not just to victory but also to the semi-finals.
Nobody has been able to play like that on this pitch, he is streets ahead of anybody else in this game.
Rufus Bullough
CricViz analyst
Harry Brook becomes the second England player to score a hundred in a T20 World Cup chase, following Alex Hales’ 116 v Sri Lanka (2014).
There it is. Harry Brook reaches three figures off 50 balls with a four off with another shot on the up through mid-off.
Some knock by the England skipper who has centuries in all three formats.
Bosh! Harry Brook skips down the pitch and majestically strikes Shaheen Afridi on the up over the covers for six.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
England could do this at a canter now.
The ball is obviously wet. You can see the ball, it looks like a dog has had it. The dew has obviously soaked into it and it is all scruffed up as well. It isn't easy for the bowlers out there.

What's going on with England? This is the most sensible batting I've seen for ages!
Steve, Bath
Will Jacks with an unconvincing bottom edge pull off Shaheen Afridi which races behind square for four.
He punches gloves with Harry Brook.
Under a run a ball for England now.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Harry Brook moves to 90 - and the end is in sight!
It would be yet another win for England in Pallekele. They love this venue.
