That's it from me here. But there's another game on tonight and it is between India and Bangladesh. So don't forget to catch that.

18:30 (IST)23 MAR 2016

For his all-round performance, Moeen Ali is the Man of the Match.

18:28 (IST)23 MAR 2016

The early loss of Shahzad was crucial but the flurry of wickets to the spinners meant it was always going to be too difficult. In the end it was Hamza's last over, which went for 25 runs that was the big difference between the two sides.

18:27 (IST)23 MAR 2016

19.6 Stokes to Shafaq, FOUR, that was dull and driven past cover for a boundary but England win by 15 runs.

18:26 (IST)23 MAR 2016

19.5 Stokes to Shafaq, no run, walks across his stumps and tries to scoop but only succeeds in getting it to square leg.

18:25 (IST)23 MAR 2016

19.4 Stokes to Shafaq, no run, that was a perfect wide yorker and the batsman digs it out back to the bowler.

18:25 (IST)23 MAR 2016

18:24 (IST)23 MAR 2016

19.2 Stokes to Shafaq, no run, short ball and that drops harmlessly into the leg side but the crucial thing is he is still on stirke.

18:24 (IST)23 MAR 2016

There is a kit at mid-wicket and Stokes is stopped as he is ready to deliver. The umpires gives the kite to Billings.

18:23 (IST)23 MAR 2016

19.1 Stokes to Shafaq, FOUR, that was wide and edged to third man. That was the start they needed. That was a wild swing but the neccessary result.

18:22 (IST)23 MAR 2016

Ben Stokes has the ball. Can he defend 24?

24 needed off the last over.

18:21 (IST)23 MAR 2016

18:19 (IST)23 MAR 2016

18:17 (IST)23 MAR 2016

18.1 Jordan to Shafaq, RUN-OUT, that was a run-out in slow-motion and England are a wicket away from victory. Drilled to mid-wicket and the fielder threw the ball to Jordan but he missed the ball but the batsman was so far behind that he had another chance and whipped the bails off this time.

18:15 (IST)23 MAR 2016

35 needed off the last two overs.

18:15 (IST)23 MAR 2016
