That's it from our side

Jos Buttler speaks
Jos Buttler - Disappointment, we were having the same chat after the match. Improvements today, more with the bat, but we were still well short, no complaints if you lose by 30 runs. A low point as a captain, you stand in this position, you came to India with high hopes and expectations, we haven't done ourselves any justice, everyone knows how much hard work we've put, these losses weigh high on our shoulders. We did well (with the ball), but we could have done better, we let them put up frustrating little partnerships. With the dew around, we backed ourselves and we fell 30 runs short. It was the right shot to play (on his dismissals), the execution wasn't great, I was trying to take it back to them. I haven't played as well as I can, in such a pivotal position, I think I let myself and my team down. Only way to come back is to put in the hard yards at the nets and come back better in the nextgame
Pat Cummins speaks
Pat Cummins [Winning Skipper] - It's been great, the boys played brilliantly, we're getting better with each match. We've improved with each game, still not playing the perfect game. It's something we pride ourselves on, we didn't start well, but the boys have put their hands up, ever since the first 2 games. He has been bowling beautifully in the last 3 games (on Zampa), made 29 and took a banger (of a catch). We thought it was a good wicket and would probably break up to his strength. Maxi and Mitchy will be back, they have had a great tournament and for the others to come in and put in a performance was nice. It wasn't too bad tonight (on the dew), sometimes we do see players getting wet as they slide on, but it wasn't that bad today.

Starc has his say
Mitchell Starc: Keeps the momentum going. Not the best start but we have progressed nicely. We are going along nicely. They would probably claim a moral victory (smiles). They are the defending champions, we thought they will come aggressively at us. Was generally slow to start with. We didn’t really mention a par score. Zampa took the momentum away. A couple of wickets in the powerplay helped. Zampa has had a helluva a day. Probably didn’t get it right the other night against NZ. Got a proper training session. Sometimes my take-off into the delivery stride forced me to jump into it. The one to Joe Root swung a little late. I certainly heard it. Marnus heard it but he has a poor strike rate when it comes to reviews, gets it right once in 50 (laughs). I don’t think you can take anyone lightly. There is some nip in Wankhede. We saw India bowling superbly the other night.
Adam Zampa is the Player of the Match
Adam Zampa has been adjudged as the Player of the Match for his sensational outing in the clash.
He took 3/21 in his ten overs, scored 29 runs with the bat, and took a brilliant catch towards the back end of the game.
While receiving the award, he said -
Adam Zampa | Man of the Match: I mean just summing up the conditions was important. We batted really well to get to 286. The ground got really dewy. Attacking the stumps was important. It came out as good as it ever has. Felt really good. Just tried to be really positive and bat out the 50 overs. Was important to rotate the strike. One of those days. Felt satisfying. Hopefully my best is yet to come.
Match summary..!!
AUSTRALIA - 286/10
Marnus Labuschagne - 71 off 83; Cameron Green - 47 off 52
Chris Woakes - 4/54 (9.3 overs); Adil Rashid - 2/38 (10 overs)
ENGLAND - 253/10 (48.1 overs)
Ben Stokes - 64 off 90; Dawid Malan - 50 off 64
Adam Zampa 3/21 (10 overs); Pat Cummins 2/49 (10 overs)
Australia win by 33 runs, and grab two crucial points to solidify their position at the points table with five wins in seven games played thus far.
Done and dusted
253 runs is all what England could get in their pursuit of 287. And with that last wicket, Hazlewood has downed the curtains to the innings. England, the defending champions, are now officially out of the World Cup.
Gone..!!
Chris Woakes has to depart, as the last ball of the 48th over gets a much-needed breakthrough for the Aussies.
34 needed off the last two with just one wicket to go.
It's a SIXXXX
Adil Rashid pelts it behind the wickets for a maximum. That was a high full-toss, and he has absolutely latched onto it.
Cameron Green's pants come off as he dives trying to save boundary, video goes viral
The fielder at long-on, Cameron Green, tried to save the ball from going to the boundary by diving in extremely hard. But his trousers slip down in the process, probably because of the excess amount due in the outfield. The match is all-set for a nail-biting finish, as we might see more such fielding efforts from the Aussies now.

Sweet from Rashid
Excellent strike by Adil Rashid, as Cameron Green's trousers slip while diving to hold onto that one at long-on.
After 46 overs, England are 233 for 8. Another reminder that they need 54 more runs to win off four overs.
End of 45 overs
226 for 8 after 45 overs, as England need 61 runs off the last five overs.
Adam Zampa - the threat for England..!!

Adil Rashid is in now
He was good with the ball earlier in the day. Can he pull off a miracle?
