    Dasun Shanaka (SL) : The bowlers have been outstanding throughout the tournament in the first ten overs. The back end of the game has been a concern for us. This is the first WC for most players, when they gain experience, they'll do a better job. We knew that dew will play a major factor. Losing wickets in regular intervals cost the game. Credit to Morgan and Buttler, they showed their experience. I am happy with the way the boys have been fighting.

    Eoin Morgan (ENG): I am incredibly proud of everything we have done tonight. Conditions here continued to change, Tymall going out asked another question of ourselves. But Livingstone and Moeen stepped up exceptionally well with the other guys. I can't fault our guys. I thought Jos Buttler played one off his best-ever innings in an England shirt. It was incredible to watch from the other end. He is one of the best in the game and it's a privilege to have him. We are delighted with the four wins. Combination of skill level and the calm nature in which he goes about it - he combines them. To see him in this form bodes well for the latter stages. You got to believe, I always do. Today was a tougher test. Just to get a partnership going and put something on the board for something to defend.
