246/7(20 Overs)
A powerful batting display from India, full of intent from top to bottom, has put them firmly in charge of this semi-final. Contributions came from across the lineup, backing SKY's call at the toss that putting runs on the board in a big game helps. The hosts have posted the third-highest first-innings total of this World Cup, leaving England with a massive task if they are to make the final.
Will Jacks to Varun Chakaravarthy, Two byes! From around the wicket, Jacks darts in a yorker, on the leg stump. Varun Chakaravarthy has a free swing at it, but misses to connect. The ball beats the inside edge, and nutmegs Varun before rolling past the leg stump, behind the keeper. Jofra Archer from short fine leg chases the ball before the ropes and by the time he throws it back to Buttler, the batters cross each other twice. INDIA FINISH AT 253/7.
Who faces the last ball of the innings? It will be Varun Chakaravarthy.
