Sam Curran to Marcus Campopiano, out Caught by Tom Banton!! Good catch from long-on and again it's Banton. He runs and slides to his left to take it well. Judged it on the slide and took it with both hands. A full-toss and just outside off, Marcus Campopiano gets forward to biff and didn't connect cleanly. Should've been put away in the stands. Italy losing their way. They check for the height on this, it's fine. Marcus Campopiano c Tom Banton b Sam Curran 2(6)

Sam Curran to Marcus Campopiano, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart, SIX, look at the Italians. They are jumping up an down in delight. Brook has a worried expression on his face. It's tossed up full and wider outside off, Grant Stewart gets forward and lofts well, long-off just watches it sail over his head. 21 off that over and it's now 30 off 2. That was hit so well

Adil Rashid to Grant Stewart, SIX, six more. It's a flat good length delivery and following Grant Stewart outside the leg-stump, he goes on the back foot and pulls high, elevation and all the way over wide long-on. The ball sails into the crowd

Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh, 1 run, slower and wider outside off, this time, Jaspreet Singh on the slogsweep, gets it along the ground and it's just one to deep mid-wicket

Adil Rashid to Jaspreet Singh, SIX, just over. Jaspreet Singh comes down the track and is not to the pitch of the ball of this very slow delivery, yet manages to clear deep mid-wicket as he goes across the line

Now, 30 runs from 12 balls

Congratulations to England for their thrilling win against the spirited ITA

Match over.

England won by 24 runs.

Congratulations to England for winning the match.

Cheers..

Another superb effort by Italy but they fall short. When Ben Manenti was going so strong, it gave England the jitters. After smashing 20 in 4 balls in that over, he still wanted more and holed out to long-on. That's when the game swung England's way. Still Grant Stewart didn't give up and it came down to 30 off 2 overs. Sam Curran as he did against Nepal bowled a fine 19th over and Jamie Overton finished with a double wicket-maiden in the last over to seal things.

Congratulations to Will Jacks for winning the Player of the Match award.

Cheers..
