England lost all their group games and leave the sub-continental shores with gloomy memories. Buttler stepping down as England's white-ball captain will perhaps lead to a paradigm shift for English cricket. But as Buttler mentioned in the post-match interview, we all are hopeful that with no burden of captaincy, Buttler will play with a lot of freedom and once again reinvent himself in ODI cricket. Root is a prime example of having prospered after relinquishing captaincy. South Africa, on the other hand, march on and enter the semis with their confidence soaring sky high. Join us tomorrow for the blockbuster game between India and New Zealand in Dubai. Tomorrow's result will give us clarity as to which teams will play each other respectively in first semi-final and second semi-final. That's it from our side for tonight. See you there. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!

Aiden Markram: (On his hamstring niggle) I think it’s alright, hopefully in the next few days, I can get good rest and recover. (On the pitch) It was slow initially, the boys adapted really well to the conditions. We held our lengths and bowled in good channels. (On Marco Jansen) He has been huge for us, he takes wickets upfront, he finds different ways of doing so and he pairs well with KG as well. (On Klaasen) He has been in ridiculous sort of form since the last many months. He had a little niggle but he never really left, he has been great for us. (On their plans if they play their semi-final in Dubai) We have to see whether that’s the case and what the conditions will be like, we have a big squad to choose from. The coach generally gets the best out of the players.

Jos Buttler: It was really a disappointing performance, we were short of our mark today, so really disappointing. A decent surface, a little bit slow and two-paced, Duckett got us into a nice position but we couldn't take advantage of that. I don't know to be honest, as a whole group, we are not getting the results and that takes away the confidence from us. So, it's a change of scene and we have to see where cricket takes us. Of course, there is no doubt, the talent is there, we have all the elements to put together a great side, I'm sure Brendon and the guys at the top will formulate some plans and it's up to the individuals as well to put their mark and assure that the team gets to where it wants to be. It was a fantastic time to be a world-cup winning captain and that was my best day in my captaincy tenure. Joe has been a shining light and a great example for us. After relinquishing his captaincy, he has played brilliantly and hopefully, I can follow in his footsteps.

Marco Jansen: It’s a good feeling, the boys worked very hard, good batting conditions from a batting point of view, ver happy to go through. I used all my options really well, hit my lengths really well. (On the catch he took to dismiss Brook) Only 28 meters? Wow! I only saw the ball going up and didn’t think much, I got there really easily. (On making it to the semi-finals) Will take it as it comes but for now, we are going to rest tomorrow.
