(Reuters) - Pakistan overcame a familiar attack of batting nerves to beat Sri Lanka by three wickets in a see-saw Group B game at Sophia Gardens to set up a Champions Trophy semi-final with hosts England back in Cardiff on Wednesday.

The other semi-final will pit Group B winners India against Group A runners-up Bangladesh at Edgbaston on Thursday.
