And then was caught by Tom Banton in the deep 60 off 25.
And it was just a little moment where the crowd were up and about.
Yeah, there was just a sense around the ground that something could be about to happen, quite dramatically so.
But England do win by 24 runs.
But you have to say Italy, World Cup debut, 178 all out against an England side is a really spectacular effort.
Let's get some more reaction from the England camp then.
Sam Curran bowled really beautifully once again for England.
Three overs, three for 22 with the bat.
25 off 19 and he's been speaking to Adam Malford.
Let's start with the bat first.
You and Will Jacks, that was a significant partnership because England were 104 for 5 at that stage.
You must have been very confident at the halfway stage and then you get the early wickets as well.
So, you know, that must have been a good place for him to be at that stage.
And I'm sure that, look, every player wants to find form.
But unusual to see people like Phil Salton and Joss Butler not quite hitting their straps at the top of the order.
They'll be looking to change that round when it comes to the Super 8s.
You're a player of the series when England last won the T20.
Are you having that message across to the other players, perhaps newer to the team, to say, look, we're in the Super 8s, not anything can happen?
Thoughts there of Sam Curran chatting to Adam Mountford.
Steve and Finn, before we say goodbye, it's interesting, isn't it, hearing that repeated message that the challenge of playing sides that you never really face and bowlers, batters that you never get the opportunity to come up against when you're so expected to win.
