00:18of mumbai

00:26as a studio kumai yadav leads his team against harry brooks england nation they're also watching on
00:37superstars on show tonight it is a heavyweight clash the toss was won by england they elected
00:43the field first here at the wankeri stadium in mumbai this india going unchanged today all eyes
00:50will be on abhishek sharma not been amongst the runs you all know what he's capable of and otherwise a
00:57lot of players here have run into a good form at just the right time and england boy more yeah
01:04evening ravi evening everyone england one change jamie overton comes in in place of rayan ahmed
01:10both former champions here in england they've reached the semi-finals more than any other team
01:16both teams six times in the semi-final of 40 20 world cups yeah in the past the lines from
01:23archer
01:23has been up pretty clear cut against and he's going fast he's pulled back over there he's tucked him up
01:39and over the top of mid on a couple of bounces first boundary up again
01:46they played a similar shot against zimbabwe where he punched it off the back foot for a six but this
01:50one not timing it well enough but he'll get a boundary but joffre archer needs to be a lot
01:56fuller if he needs to trouble sanju samson here oh that's big just using the pace
02:05and helping it over the boundary not a great start from england for a man who stands so deep in
02:11his
02:11crease he wants the short ball and joffre archer has offered him that and he gleefully accepts it
02:16easy pickings for sanju samson so far he's on top of joffre exactly that and he's earned it decaf
02:23that first shot is to try and get archer off his good line his good length
02:30sliced away first boundary for abhishek sharma
02:36gave himself a little bit of room and almost from the middle stump
02:40when we see it on the replay we'll see how much it was in the stumps for him to get
02:43it there there
02:46he's taken it on the full and done exactly that
02:50he loves hitting on the offside and giving room comes naturally to him
02:57oh that's in the air should be taken first record goes down jack striking abhishek looking for the big one
03:05will jacks against abhishek sharma has been short on runs at this tournament
03:09wanted to continue the momentum that had already been set up jack's just holding it back doing him
03:15in the air phil salt makes a very simple catch under pressure sharma for nine india 20 for one
03:25ishan kishin the new man out there
03:29that's in the air put down that's straightforward chance for the captain
03:35well the plan was on talk about the matchup between archer and sanju samson who has seen the
03:41better of it so far execution from archer but not backed up by his skipper he's one of england's best
03:47fielders here's harry brook that's huge it's way up in the tenduka stand watch that ball like a hawk
03:58and cemented it deep into the stands third tire it's gone to tells you how well he's met that
04:04brook would feel the pain of dropping that catch
04:22he tosses it up he could well go into out that was poor bowling because you know sanju samson loves
04:30that shot and he goes to a half century back to back half centuries for samson this one in just
04:3626
04:37deliveries this is not an easy shot getting a six over extra cover never easy and he's hit it into
04:45the first tier magnificent
04:50it's not sweet and it's gone all the way an expensive first over for dawson
04:57and he got a little bit of room around the off time this is what he does so well he
05:03can play that
05:04slot sweep very well
05:08oh picked up picked up sweetly and all the way into the crowd his last two deliveries he's faced
05:14he's belted for six
05:20picked up there's a man out there over his head six more
05:26down again toe end of the bat it should be taken long off comes in it is taken
05:32england needed that ishan kishan goes
05:36was this the wrong one we'll have a look and see no it wasn't it was front of the end
05:41and you could
05:42see that it's hit the bottom of the bat he was looking for another big shot
05:47ishan kishan 39 out of 170 for two shivan dubai comes in at number four
05:57and he's making them pay
06:03shivan dubai dispatches that into the crowd six more to india
06:14he can't stop india and shivan dubai has come out with some intense here at ronkedi
06:23up and over wow the runs continue to flow and it's the manner in which they're coming
06:32he's going for plenty the latest to make most of it was sanju samson he hit one into the third
06:39tier
06:39in the power play and this one he's gone over point
06:46stand and deliver sanju samson what a man what a player
06:54will jackson now sanju samson and tries to go big again silence at one kid as england strike back
07:05but the samson is not getting anywhere close to the middle of the bat
07:09it's all picks up another catch toe ending it he could have easily gone for the hundred which is just
07:14around the corner but he chose to do something that will take india to a good score sanju samson who
07:20has
07:20played an absolute blinder for the second time in two games goes for 89 india 160 for three here
07:34high high over extra cover and into the stands over the indian dugout
07:43slug sweep fielder over his head six more have a look at this
07:49it's on the next time point maybe just a little bit outside the next time that makes it a little
07:53bit easier as well for him
07:55oh it's a good combination dubai goes down the ground
08:03now i think he's got him there he has he's shuffled out of his crease
08:07and butler smart work from him and rashid has his second
08:13the googly from rashidi almost walks himself by coming down brilliant for butler
08:18just tips the pad on the way to yeah there's the advance
08:22walks himself difficult to play a sweep shot to a yorker
08:27it's the indian captain he goes for 11 india 190 for four
08:36slower ball long tries to get their car that goes all the way for six
08:43slow delivery but if it's a halfway downing you're giving the batter all the time in the world the
08:48biggest bottom that's what he's done real full swing of the bat
08:57run out chance gone one stump to aim at dubai can't believe it hardik pandia sort of called him
09:04and then sent him back have a look at this
09:08yes i think hardik pandia i think says a run
09:11and you can see that
09:15one stump to aim at you hope for the best and he's done that brilliant throw brilliant throw
09:21third run out in this tournament for uh she won the day he's played a very good innings of 43
09:262-1-2-5
09:29tillak varma comes in at number seven
09:35hit leg side over long on archers first ball has gone for sips
09:39look at this from tillak varma right in the slot just about holds his shape
09:48and himself room that is an incredible shot that is an incredible cricket shot it really is
09:56look at the way he opens the face of the bat he sliced the ball over deep point for another
10:03maximum
10:08and that is going to be six more jothra archer has no answer
10:16consistent bounce but archer just missing his length by quite a considerable amount
10:25and it gets through tillak varma right under the bat very accurate as well maybe help it on
10:36maybe a little bit of an inside edge as well 21 of just seven deliveries 236 for six
10:49but he fetches it from outside off and his first ball from jack's disappears into the stands
11:01flat straight six more 250 for india
11:08the left hander also has just come into that so it won't be easy for him he's been at the
11:12crease for
11:13a while now and he's a big hitter
11:19full and straight this time hardick wants two i'm not sure he's going to get back
11:24he shouldn't get back and i don't think he does
11:29he hits it hard and i'll see when he comes back for the second
11:34he's always running into action for nailing that slows it down just a little bit but even then it
11:40was always going to be a tight second run yes 27 out of two 51 for seven
11:47marim chakravati for the last ball
11:52negs everyone it goes through chakravati it goes through butler and they'll come back for two
11:58and that is an excellent innings 253 for seven very strong batting lineup has delivered in this
12:09second semi-final 89 for sanju samson he was brilliant and then little cameos all the way down
12:16ishan kishan 39 it'll have to be a record what chase and englander would know what their target is so
12:26their game plan will be uh pretty clear cut they have to uh blast away at both ends from the
12:33outset
12:34and i'm looking at the field as well it's two deep feelers are a deep square leg forward square
12:38or just on square and finally so here goes ashtip
12:47and he's got that fine and a boundary of the first wall
12:52he's away good cricketing shot one bounce over the rope
13:00oh good delivery he squeezed that away he'll get four he has the ability to just lower the arm
13:07keep the seam up right to slide it inside such as that and then he'll get to the highest point
13:13and
13:14ball to one that goes the other way each way swing that's beautiful expected between his legs
13:23that's up in the air an opportunity
13:31so this is a perfect outcome seam held up a little bit of movement away and salt just looking to
13:38play
13:39against the slight bit of swing that there was and a simple catch perfect start for india 13 for one
13:45england harry brook makes his way out to the center
13:54that's well struck just getting his back down on time
14:00now that's well struck that'll make him feel better boundary to end the over 10 of it 25 for one
14:12and he's got hold of that one bounce over the rope
14:22that's over mid off and we'll clear the fence as well
14:27this was muscled more than anything else really by butler
14:33see that he really didn't time it as well as he might have done the timing is not there at
14:38all at
14:38the moment but he's hanging in there and he's got enough power and muscle to get that over the boundary
14:46oh that's beautiful boy first ball
14:52oh what a catch what a catch that is
14:58both the bowling and the catching and of course the end result because it is a key wicket
15:03of harry brook brilliant slow ball he's through the shot he plays it one-handed in the end
15:09so he's completely foxed and then a magnificent bit of athleticism
15:14keeping his eye on the ball all the way a quite brilliant catch and maybe maybe
15:21a match-winning moment with the exit of england's most dangerous batter harry brook gone for seven 38 for two
15:37it's swung away on the onside let's go on the distance
15:45plenty of pace to work with
15:49bethel is a good player of pace bowling in particular
15:56one high and all the way for six very first delivery from baron chakravati and he hung back in his
16:05crease
16:06still in the power place only two fielders out it really matter because he's belted it for six
16:15he's going to be in the back of the back of the back of the back of the back of
16:20jacob bethel
16:21take it to the cleaner straight away so far first two balls
16:25both down the ground one over long on another over long off
16:42and now the reverse he's absolutely nailed it
16:56the world has been slightly short in the super eight stages so he's trying to go fuller now but
17:02he's being met with it's good batting from bethel
17:06got him
17:10baron chakravaki strikes out the big pamo for three sixes
17:14he's now got an important breakthrough and it's just butler
17:19but the fighter in him comes out sanju samson tells him take your time and he lands the googly
17:24perfectly on length butler going for the big one joss butler goes for 25. tom banton in now at five
17:38cleanly struck for six
17:42oh that's a lovely shot
17:45just like that and that is good maneuvering
17:52uses his feet this time it sails into the crowd for six
18:00the roar says it all
18:08just held his shape and gone straight in the end he tries to drag it leg side
18:14and it's through him all action cricket sixes falls and wickets 17 from five tom banton
18:28well jacks he has been brilliant all tournaments
18:37it's outstanding that's true
18:43and that is another world cup half century for jacob bethel is second of this t20 world cup
18:54and off 19 balls he's the fifth batter in this tournament to do it in so little deliveries but
19:01he knows that there's so much more oh that has gone miles absolute miles up to the back row
19:16lovely he did well to reach it and the awareness to get it over short third this is some knock
19:23from jacob bethel
19:32that looks to be outstanding from that man again that is a brilliant catch from akshar patel
19:40covering the ground it is akshar patel who's done all the hard work have a look at this he slices
19:46it
19:47there is a deep point he's a left-hander magnificent now look what he does oh he passes the ball
19:53away
19:54magnificent absolutely terrific magnificent stuff that from akshar patel it's the fifth
20:01cricket gone for 172 and 14 overs
20:10and there he goes he took one delivery to get himself in and the next one is a four
20:20well that's flicked away nicely
20:25that's hit straight and clean much needed for england
20:33swings and clears the man in the deep he gets one hand to it but the ball goes over the
20:38rope
20:39and it's a magnificent innings from the young jacob bethel the third fastest for england
20:45and he's got it up just 45. first international t200 in a world cup semi-final in mumbai
20:55even akshar patel couldn't stop that one game on here in mumbai
21:00they sat on bumra they're going after pandia
21:07that's in the air and taken in the deep taken on the line by tilakwarma
21:15they will check it just in case any part of the hill was hitting the cushion
21:23but he looks good his balance was good his hands even better current 18 from 14
21:35that's it straight and stopped on the boundary overton goes back for the second bethel is run
21:42out and this could be the final nail in the coffin as far as england are concerned brilliant work from
21:50hardwick in the deep
21:55bethel had to get back on strike
21:59hardick knew exactly what he was doing he wasn't going at the bowlers end
22:04sanju samson does the rest
22:08bethel goes and with him england's hopes 225 for seven
22:17that's well struck but a little too late from england's point of view
22:22two balls remaining and 21 to get
22:30and it's high and it's handsome again final ball of the game
22:39goes once again over the rope but it's india who march into the semi-final in the end
22:46they win by seven runs just goes to show how tight again this was
22:53and close to 500 runs being scored today so for the crowd fabulous entertainment but it's the indian
23:02team who are thrilled to bits to make it to the second final on the rope
23:11that's how things panned out india put into bat making 253 for seven
23:17two blazing innings from sanju samson 14 89 of 42 to wave again showing that in a big match he's
23:24there
23:25with the runs and the wickets if needed
