For England, Malan & Wood are unfit, Salt & Jordan are their replacements.
India had a tough call, with Kartik fit again, they are unchanged from the Zimbabwe match, with Pant retaining his place.

Massive win for England

Salt must have made the difference

Did he keep wicket or did Buttler do it?

^^ He took a catch on the boundary, that was about it.

Amazing performance by England esp the openers!

Errrrr semi finals are not meant to be won that easily.
I am genuinely shocked.
India are a powerhouse nation in the white ball form of the game especially yet England made them look average .
I still can't quite believe it .

That was maybe one of England's best 20/20 games outside the UK hopefully the same on Sunday
As for India may that be the start of some of the golden players ending there international career s

You shouldn't overlook the importance of England's bowling display, India went nowhere for 10 overs 62-2, they had some big overs at the back end, but all that did was lift them up to a par score. Jordan's figures looked expensive, but he bowled 1 in the powerplay & 3 at the death. In combination, England's spinners out bowled India's.
I was a good toss to win, & I can't believe Rohit who said he wanted to bat first. England pick a side that's set up to chase, defending is their weaker suite.
India needed above par to stretch England, but don't really have a long enough batting line-up to go hard or 20 overs. They took many more risks in the T20's against England in the summer, but just went back to their own ways. Rohit & Rahul have been becalmed. Leaving Kohli & Sky to score the bulk of the runs. But still Virat needed to push things along quicker.
The India fans will not be happy with another failure in a major tournament, & tactics & personnel will have to change.

The final could turn out to be a farce with rain forecast for Sunday & the reserve day on Monday.

ENGLAND COILD POTENTIALLY BE WINNING 2 or 3 WORLD CUPS BEFORE ENGLAND PLAY IN QATAR
