Final over pressure really is something else. How often do we see bowlers not able to hold their concentration and end up bowling the wrong length in these circumstances? Makes you appreciate just what a difficult art it really is.

Surely they won’t choke from here…
Erm why wouldn't you have a slip in that situation?! Might have gone over his head but at least try to take a wicket.
Wow, my heart. Can't believe how we snatch victory from that seemingly certain defeat
Damn. I'm sad 
Well done SA. Killer Miller announces himself to the T20WC in style.

Rabada played a good hand there. Obviously Miller was outstanding, but they had run out of batsmen and Rabada did a job. Not easy to do when you are under pressure and running out of deliveries.
Sri Lanka will feel as if they have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, but they bowled some absolute freebies at the end.

Has any team won a match defending a total besides WI yesterday? And even that ran pretty close.
Afghans won by some 140 runs.
2 balls in the slot and the game changed, Miller and Rabada were great but the last over had to be better!
Big wicket
Some spectacular catches so far. That's right up there.
My goodness England look good
Them and Pakistan probably in the final. Both have looked so good.
Mad
That has to plumb
That’s out
Agreed. I made this post somewhere or other but England and Pakistan are the only two teams that don't look like they've regressed
That’s hitting leg stump, maybe umpires call
Glad india aren’t playing against nz on this. Would be sent packing exactly the way aus are.
Ageed. But wouldn't count out India just yet.
Woakes is such a reliable & consistent bowler. Excellent PP for England.
Aus need to be careful about nrr here.
Good for the rest of the group if Aus lose + wreck their NRR too.
Yeah they can still be dangerous.
My expectation:
England top group, SA second.
Pakistan top group, India Second.
Will play nicely into SA hands if it comes down to it, so hopefully England win convincingly.
This is a strangulation so far.
Aussies in big trouble.
I hope this is the last major tournament we see in UAE. This has been a crap tournament.
Zero clue what Australia are trying to achieve here. The least you could do is take singles
Seeing out the evening session nicely here.
Aussies seem focused to bat out the 20 overs. Very good bowling from England but there’s been no aggression or urgency from Australia.
Will need a double Starc hat-trick. Why aren't they pushing? Better to go down having a go surely?
Handy innings from Agar. Has given Australia a shout at least, providing they bowl well.
Cummins showing them how to do it.
Can I expect anything else?Another semi-final choke then?
That’s a nice catch Bairstow.
They got an ok total in the end considering where they were, but it will take some bowling effort to defend this. Aussies approach at the top of the order was so poor.
5 overs in and England are nearly going at 10 an over.
Buttler has just hit two huge sixes.

Beautiful batting. England making this look so easy.
