And there's the win for England! A surprisingly easy one, too; a surprisingly feeble effort from Pakistan. Terrific innings by Pietersen who really powered England's 185, and Adil Rashid bowled with impressive composure. And this puts England through to the Super 8s, confirmed by Travis Basevi.

Hundreds of emails coming in. Yes, we know we had Rashid bowling five overs - a glitch in the system as our scorers hadn't realised Swann was into the attack. All sorted now, so please try and calm yourselves
