Finch and Warner, considered to be one of the most dangerous opening pair in the world, failed to fire in the semi-final, as Finch fell for a golden duck, while Warner was dismissed by Woakes in the 3rd over for 9. (AFP Photo)

Coming in the 3rd over after the fall of both openers, Smith started his innings cautiously, and ended up with 85 from 119 balls. Smith was finally run out in the 48th over by a direct hit from England 'keeper Jos Buttler. (AFP Photo)

With the score 3-14 in the 7th over, Australia needed a partnership to at least reach a modest total. Alex Carey (46) fell trying to go for a big one off Adil Rashid, after putting on 103 runs for the 4th wicket with Smith (85). (AP Photo)

After breaking the dangerous 4th wicket partnership, Rashid dismissed Stoinis for a duck, and finally Pat Cummins, to put the brakes on the Aussie batsmen. (Reuters Photo)

With the new ball in hand, Woakes dismissed the in-form David Warner, and soon after Peter Handscomb, to choke Australia in the middle overs. Woakes was later declared man of the match for his brilliant 3-20 in 8 overs. (Reuters Photo)

There was little caution in Roy's 65-ball 85, as he smashed 5 sixes in his innings, 3 them on consecutive balls in a 21-run over from Smith. He was dismissed after a wrong decision from umpire Dharmasena, and no reviews left. (Reuters Photo)

Joe Root (49*) and skipper Eoin Morgan (45*) sealed the deal for England, setting up a final against New Zealand in Lord's on Sunday. Morgan hit the winning runs, an emphatic boundary, ending the chase with 8 wickets and 107 balls to spare. (AFP Photo)
