It was fantastic to watch and best of luck in the semis.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Yes, I think in a weird way.
I think they'll take a lot of heart from that.
They came very close to beating an England side that's had the wool over them in T20 cricket for a long time, especially in T20 World Cups.
But they came very close and but for an incredible, almost unprecedented innings, really, from Harry Brook, who picked this moment to put forth his...
He is most self-assured and most calm and most intelligent innings, really, in this World Cup.
The way he sort of picked his gaps, picked his moments and executed his big shots at just the right time to take it off.
You know, he managed to hit a couple of bowlers out of the attack, including Saeem Ayoub, you know, who's now one of Pakistan's frontline bowlers.
I also thought he played Usman Tariq very sensibly.
Pakistan have, as we say, a multifaceted bowling attack, loads of different options to turn to with the spin.
And he was just so clever about the way he targeted, you know, bowlers at the right time.
He decided to sort of decelerate almost at times as well.
He was happy to pick up twos.
I thought England's running between the wicket.
I mean, I don't know what he's clocking in on those games.
the bleep test or the new version of the bleep test, whatever it is the players do now.
I mean, he's in unbelievable shape to be able to run all those twos without having to stop to catch his breath or be down on his haunches even once.
