  1. England captain Jos Buttler: "There's a lot of excitement, it's obviously going to be a fantastic atmosphere at one of the best grounds in the world.

    "It doesn't make a difference [not having played in Adelaide yet]. But we know we will have to adapt to the dimensions of the ground quickly.

    "Dawid Malan and Mark Wood are missing out, so Chris Jordan and Phil Salt have come in.

    "It looks a good wicket, hopefully it will stay consistent throughout the game."

  2. That's an interesting call from Jos Buttler considering how England have looked in chases against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in this tournament so far.

    Their most complete performance came against New Zealand when they defended a total.

    It's a big call from Buttler and England.

  3. England win the toss & bowl

    Uh oh...

    Jos Buttler calls correctly and fancies having a chase later on.

    There have been 11 T20s at this ground. The team that won the toss has lost every one.

  5. Right, time for the toss...

    But, before I do, here's a stat for you....

    There has been a sense of anticipation around Adelaide all day. Supporters of both teams have been wandering around in their replica shirts.

    The picture below was two hours before the scheduled start time.

    This is massive.

  8. Wood & Malan out for England

    We'll start with some breaking team news for England.

    Batter Dawid Malan and bowler Mark Wood are both not fit to take any part in this semi-final.

    Malan suffered a groin injury in the final group game against Sri Lanka, while Wood has taken a limited part in training because of general body soreness.

    Speaking yesterday, England captain Jos Buttler said both would be given "as long as possible" to prove their fitness.

    Lancashire's Phil Salt is likely to come in for Malan, while David Willey, Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan will compete for Wood's place.

  9. Morning!

    Either way we're guaranteed an absolute blockbluster final on Sunday at the MCG.

    We could have the biggest game in cricket in Pakistan v India, or we could have Pakistan v England, with the former looking to become double world champions.

    Either would be a cracker.

    But, who will it be? Let's find out.
