England head coach Charlotte Edwards says reaching the semi-finals is the minimum expectation for her side.

Four-time champions England reached the final of the previous edition in 2022 and were beaten by Australia, but were knocked out at the semi-final and then group stage at the most recent T20 World Cups.

"I've definitely come here to win the tournament, of course, but Australia are always going to go in as favourites, India are in their backyard," said Edwards.

"So we know where we sit, but we also know that we can beat any team on our day and I think we've shown that over the last week, but we've got to do it consistently. We've got to do it under pressure in big events."

Sri Lanka bowler Inoka Ranaweera: "My plan was to bowl with line and length. My execution was good and I backed myself even though it was not the best in the early overs.

"I tried to contain runs and bowl defensively. I tried to finish off my overs well - I wanted to five-for but just missed it!

On whether they can reach India's total: "It is within us and we are going to do it."

Thanks Elizabeth.

We're enjoying an opening ceremony during the interval - plenty of fireworks, flashing lights and singing.

There'll be no curtailing this because of the rain delays.

So, Sri Lanka are chasing 271 to beat India and start their World Cup with a win.

Here's Mike Peter to take you through the rest of the interval and the start of their innings.

This is too many for Sri Lanka.

India's middle-lower order really managed to come back into the game. Amanjot Kaur really impressed me - she will go onto become a huge talent.

Well, well, well. Just shy of five hours after it started, India's innings is finally over.

They've posted 269-8, with a 103-run seventh-wicket partnership between Amanjot Kaur (57) and Deepti Sharma (53) rescuing the batting side after they'd collapsed from 120-2 to 124-6.

Down the ground and Deepti Sharma runs two.

At long last, it's time for the final ball.

Just a single. What can Deepti Sharma do with the last two balls of the innings?

This is the excitement that the India crowd wanted. It has been a slow-going innings but they wanted something at the end.

It gets worse. One of the wider wides you'll see from Achini Kulasuriya is followed by a mis-field on the boundary. Four more for Sneh Rana.

Chamari Athapaththu will want to be reminded that in May this year, Sri Lanka scored 278-7 to beat India in a one-day international.

Four leg byes. Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu stares blankly into the distance.

We thought that even 230 would have been enough on the board for India as Sri Lanka rely so much on Chamari Athapaththu.

250 now definitely looks too much to catch.

Sneh Rana, charging down, six more. Boom.

Sneh Rana! She started the over with a four, picking off a poor attempt at a yorker, and finishes it with a six over mid-wicket.

Oh no. Klaxon time. It's a no ball from Udeshika Prabodhani. Fortunately for Sri Lanka, Rana can't punish the free hit.

Yup. Big old edge. Carry on.

Wait. Deepti Sharma ran a single. Belated celebrations for her half-century off 50 balls.

You may as well review at this point when you have two left.

Sri Lanka have reviewed a possible lbw against Deepti Sharma. It didn't look out to me.

The last six overs have been all singles and two twos.
