  2. Eng 209-5

    Need 45 runs in 18 balls

    Wide yorker... no problem! Four more for Jacob Bethell, who has 94 off 42, including eight fours and six sixes.

    Now, Will Jacks and Rehan Ahmed were faced with 43 off 18 against New Zealand in the Super 8s and got home with three balls to spare...

    Today, Bethell and Sam Curran need 45 from 18.

    Jacob Bethell!

    Arshdeep Singh misses his yorker and sees a low full toss pounded back past him and over the rope. England fly past 200.

    A good holding of nerve from Arshdeep Singh. It is difficult when you have been hit around the park, but he has been able to simplify things here.

  6. Eng 197-5

    Need 57 runs in 21 balls

    This is very composed bowling from Arshdeep Singh, who's had an expensive day.

    His yorker is on point, restricting England to four runs off three balls.

    There is still a degree of tension around this ground.

  9. Eng 194-5

    Need 60 runs in 23 balls

    Arshdeep Singh opens the 17th over with a wide. Another run ticked off for England. Eek.

    To his credit, he responds in style, nailing his yorker.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There is more pressure now on India. Suryakumar Yadav needs to make sure he chooses his bowlers correctly.

    In the initial stages of the tournament, England rode in luck. But now they are settled and can still win this. Very doable. I would actually say at this stage they are ahead of India.

    India's Varun Chakravarthy conceded 64 runs from his four overs today - it's the joint second most ever conceded by a bowler in T20 World Cup history.

  13. Eng 193-5

    Need 61 runs in 24 balls

    Jasprit Bumrah nails his yorker before sending down a slow, short delivery which Sam Curran can only dab for a single.

    Jacob Bethell takes a single off the final ball of the over to keep the strike.

    Excellent from Bumrah, Eight off the over.

  14. Eng 191-5

    Need 63 runs in 27 balls

    After exchanging another single with Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran turns Jasprit Bumrah into the leg-side for four.

    Suryakumar Yadav yells and waves his left arm in frustration.

  15. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist in Mumbai

    Early days but Sam Curran's running has been iffy here. Jacob Bethell has been out there for ages and he's the one pushing for the second.

    If England come through and win this, it will be one of the greatest results in our history, especially the way we have played this tournament.

    Ally in Brighton

    Bethell is going to win this match for England. It's fantastic that his brilliance is being applauded so loudly.

  17. Eng 186-5

    Need 68 runs in 29 balls

    Jasprit Bumrah returns to the attack.

    Sam Curran jogs a single to put Jacob Bethell, flying on 81 (36), on strike.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is mouth-watering at this stage. The only thing that hurts England is that they are five down.

    India can take two quick wickets and the run chase dissipates.

  19. How's stat?!

    Most sixes in a T20WC match:

    31 - Zimbabwe v West Indies (2026)

    30 - Ireland v Netherlands (2014)

    29* - India v England (2026)

  20. Eng 185-5

    Need 69 runs in 30 balls

    Suryakumar Yadav is talking to Varun Chakravarthy after almost every delivery.

    The first half of his final over, all to Jacob Bethell, costs eight.

    He starts with a dot ball to new batter Sam Curran but is swiftly pulled for four. Curran takes a single to retain the strike.
