  1. Eng 5-0

    Target 169

    Jabbed through the covers for four!

  2. Eng 1-0

    Target 169

    Buttler was on the charge. Pant immediately stands up to the stumps. We've not had a legal ball yet.

  3. Eng 1-0

    Target 169

    Wide. England away. Swing.

  4. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the ball. Here we go.

    It's a decent score but for me, it's all about how the India spinners bowl.

    There was some grip there for Adil Rashid, but we also know how much England like to sweep and reverse sweep, so that brings the short boundaries in to play again.

  7. Buttler and Hales on the way. There have been 11 previous T20Is in Adelaide. No team has made as many as 169 in the second innings. The team that won the toss has also never won a match. Extraordinary.

  8. Morning, morning.

    If I'd offered you England needing 169 for a place in the final, would you have taken it?

  9. How are we feeling at the halfway point?

    Confident England can pull it off or are India are in the driving seat?

    Stephan Shemilt will take you through the chase.

  10. 'We are happy with our position after the first half'

    England bowler Adil Rashid: "Personally I felt quite good, as a team we bowled well early up and in the middle. We kept it tight and kept the pressure on.

    "We'd have been happy with 168 before the game. We know they've got powerful hitters and world-class players so the fours and sixes were always going to come, especially on the shorter boundaries.

    "We knew it was going to be all about keeping patient and being positive.

    "It's very simple now. Just chase that total, even if it takes us until the last ball. We are happy with our position after the first half."

  11. Pick your team of the tournament

    Chris Jordan didn't do too badly there considering he hasn't played, but he just came up against somebody in such ruthless form.

  13. England conceded 68 runs in the final five overs.

    The final three went for 47.

    That could end up being the difference between a place in the final or not.

    That is a brilliant innings from Hardik Pandya. What a player he is, and he's still got to bowl.

  15. England will need 169 to win and reach World Cup final
    Breaking

    A tough chase awaits.

    WICKET

    Hardik hit wicket b Jordan 63 (Ind 168-6)

    Dramatic end!

    Hardik Pandya shuffles outside off-stump, trying to work to the short leg-side boundary, but his back leg flicks off-stump and he's out hit wicket.

    A decent final ball for England.

    In a World Cup semi-final when you're under pressure, this is just outstanding.

  18. Ind 168-5

    Four!

    A full toss from Chris Jordan and Hardik Pandya pulls between Ben Stokes and square leg for another boundary.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He's set himself, you can see how he's standing outside off stump and in a crouched stance so he's ready to target the leg side.
