India v England live: Score and updates from T20 World Cup semi-final as cricket giants collide

And Sanju Samson makes Brook pay! Archer drops slightly shorter and is positively walloped up into the third tier over midwicket. Samson is good at picking that sort of length.

Substance, meet style. An elegant carve of a yorker through third man for four. What touch India’s opener is in.

A goober! Oh, Harry Brook!

How crucial could that be? It’s an absolute sitter for the England captain at mid-on as Sanju Samson mistimes a drive, but Brook inexplicably lets it burst between his fingers in front of his face.

The Wankhede falls silent! Hoisted to deep midwicket!

Abhishek Sharma had just shuffled down and planted Will Jacks over extra cover for a one bounce four, but comes a-cropper as he tries to keep the momentum rolling. He’s not quite to the pitch of a ball dragged slightly shorter and can only haul it high in the air, with Phil Salt settling safely beneath it. A vital strike for England with India just getting going.

It will be Will Jacks from the other end, off-spin to the left-handed Abhishek – and he’s flayed away immediately! Just a hint of width and a little too short and the southpaw swats him for four through point.

Abhishek is all about intent, like most of this new breed of Indian batters.

Jofra Archer has an excellent record in T20Is against Sanju Samson, the pair former Rajasthan Royals teammates. He beats the bat second ball with a bit of away movement.

That’s a fine riposte, though, Archer deposited up over mid-on with Samson sitting back in his crease. And that’s six! Short, too straight and swivelled high over the short fine leg fielder! That’s a poor ball, really, and given the treatment.

Can Archer get fuller? Yes, caressed to cover for a sharp single. Abhishek Sharma replies in kind to keep the strike at the end of the over.

A calm start. Sanju Samson runs the first ball to short third for no run. Good lift from Jofra Archer on a surface with a slight green tinge.

Unsurprisingly, it’ll be Jofra Archer with first use of the gleaming white Kookaburra. Harry Brook directs a few fielders around before taking up his position. Jamie Overton is at first slip for England to the right-handed Sanju Samson. It looks like square leg and deep backward point are the permitted two men out.

Out come the teams. This opening powerplay feels huge – Jofra Archer aside, England aren’t blessed with new-ball options. Opening with Liam Dawson would be a huge risk against the free-swinging Abhishek Sharma; similarly, Sanju Samson may fancy himself against Will Jacks’ off-breaks.

England had already qualified for the semi-final when they faced New Zealand in their final Super 8s game but produced an impressive performance to win by four wickets

Sanju Samson’s brilliant unbeaten 97 from 50 balls saw India chase down 196 with four deliveries to spare to beat West Indies and snatch second place in their Super 8s pool.
