England captain Alastair Cook reveals that he was pleased to beat New Zealand but admits that he felt the pressure during the final overs of the game.

England captain Alastair Cook has admitted that he was relieved with his side's win over New Zealand.

The Three Lions beat the Black Caps by 10 runs in their ICC Champions Trophy clash and as a result have reached the last four of the competition.

"It was quite a stressful day, especially those last few overs," Cook told Sky Sports News.

"I always felt we were just above the rate and going nicely with the ball, but that was a very good partnership between Corey Anderson and Kane Williamson so luckily we got over the line."

England will face either South Africa or India in the semi-finals of the tournament.
