While it's desperately disappointing the final will now be moved from Lahore to Dubai, there's no disputing that India have been by far and away the best team in this tournament. Congratulations to India on yet another final. Here's to watching them play in Pakistan one day...

It's been such a wonderful experience to be a part of BBC's broadcast team for the Champion's Trophy in Pakistan & UAE. The games haven't been phenomenal, but the vibes certainly have been. Ahead of tomorrow's semi-final, reflecting on the joy of the grind. Love my job 🤲🏼

Jos Buttler is perhaps England's greatest ever white ball player. But his performance has dropped off significantly as captain of the team. One would hope without the burden of captaincy, he focus entirely on his performance in the middle and return to his explosive best.

Australia vs South Africa in Rawalpindi has officially been abandoned due to rain #AUSvSA

It's raining here in Rawalpindi and hence we have a delayed toss. Locals expect the weather to clear though and for us to get some cricket...possibly even a completed game. Let's see. Join us on @bbctms for all the action and chat #AUSvSA

It's a tall task for Pakistan tomorrow as they take on India in the Champion's Trophy. A loss will mean they are virtually eliminated. With the way India have played of late, it'll take something special to get the W. Join us on @bbctms for the big one in Dubai... #PAKvIND

After an 8 year wait, the Champion's Trophy returns. It's been an even longer wait for Pakistan to host a global ICC event, this is their first since the ODI World Cup in 1996. The crowd is pouring in to the National Stadium Karachi. What an honour to be here to call the action #PAKvNZ

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pre and Post Upgradation. What do we think?

The highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match at the Champion's Trophy in Dubai has predictably extortionate ticket prices. The lowest price is AED 500 (£110) and the highest is AED 12,500 (£2,475). Between resellers and touts, these prices could go higher still.

Alyssa Healy & Mitchell Starc, who are married to each other, are both currently playing their 287th international match for Australia. Talk about being in sync. Mind, body, soul and cricket 🫶

It's the Badshahi Mosque. The fort is directly opposite out of the frame.

I dunno. I guess they like to keep everyone guessing...

Enjoying attending my first ever PSL Draft in Lahore, Pakistan. Had a chance to see all of the trophies over the past decade of the league.

Two divisions of Test Cricket is a terrible idea. The number of test playing teams is already too low - 12...of which only 9 currently feature in the World Test Championship. Widening the gap isn't the way to save the format...it's the way to bury it.

It's been a really strong performance from South Africa in this series. If the can replicate the form they've shown against Pakistan, they'll have a strong chance against Australia in the World Test Championship final this summer.

Pakistan is the only team in the world that can be bowled out for 194 and then in the 2nd innings be 213 for 1...on the same day #SAvPAK
