IND Vs ENG, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami End England's Misery; India Win Six In Six - As It Happened

India did very well chasing. They won five in five batting second. Now, they are defending even better, with the ball -- dismissing holders England with 89 balls to spare for a 100-run win. Asked to bat first by England in match 29 of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, India's famed batting line-up crumbled. Except for skipper Rohit Sharma, none of the Indian batters managed to reach 50, and the result was a below-par score of 229/9 in Lucknow. But that was only the first half of the show. Jasprit Bumrah, who added crucial runs with the bat, rocked England with the wickets of Dawid Malan and Joe Root, off successive deliveries. Then, Mohammed Shami removed Joe Root and Ben Stokes in quick succession. 39/4 in 9.1 overs, and England's title defence was as good as over. (Scorecard | Points Table | Report)

And it got over soon enough. After Bumrah and Shami's act, Kuldeep Yadav weaved his spin, first by bamboozling Jos Buttler and then trapping Liam Livingstone in front. England got all out 129 in 34.5 overs for a fifth defeat -- a first for the Three Lions in the World Cup -- in six outings. Defending champions, in both ODIs and T20Is, are out of the semi-finals reckoning. They can now have a maximum of eight points, but four teams are already with eight or more. India, on the contrary, are already on cloud nine. Up next, India take on Sri Lanka at Mumbai's Wankhede, which according to many, is a replay of the 2011 final; while England will take on their Ashes rivals in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Tomorrow, Afghanistan face 1996 champions Sri Lanka in Pune. Read AFG vs SL preview, key battles and how to watch.

That's all from our side!

Player of the match - Rohit Sharma - 87(101)

9:45 pm: What captains said
Rohit Sharma, India Captain: This was the game, and the squad was full of character. All of our seasoned players rose to the occasion and won the game for us. Given the state of the competition, we had no choice but to come here and bat. We were challenged right away, and they bowled rather effectively. We wanted to get to a total on a pitch that had something in it so we could play with it. We weren't very well with the bat. Losing three wickets is not a good scenario. It was thrown by a couple of men, including myself. In the grand scheme of things, we fell 30 runs short. It's not something you'd normally see. When you begin your innings, you must strive to take a few wickets to put pressure on the opponent. You can always count on our seamers to deliver and get those vital breaks. They took advantage of the situation. They placed the ball in the appropriate spots. We have a solid balance (in bowling), with a variety of alternatives and experience. The hitters must score some runs.

Jos Buttler, England Captain: It was quite disappointing. We fancied ourselves at the midway point, chasing 230, the same old scenario. I wasn't sure if dew would fall. We bowled effectively, got wickets, and could have taken 229 runs. I wanted to soak up some pressure before forming a partnership and killing India's momentum. It all comes down to committing and executing your expertise. There was no pressure from the scoreboard. We are all falling short in some way or another. We are far from our best despite having several excellent players. The powerplay got off to a great start, despite some mediocre bounce. The ground fielding was excellent. We felt that this was the day, but we didn't follow through. 

9:40 pm: Statistics
- India's 59th World Cup victory surpasses New Zealand's 58th; only Australia has won more (73) times.

9:20 pm: India won by 100 runs!
First Shami bowled Adil Rashid, then David Willey targeted Bumrah and went for two sixes against him. Bumrah bowled Mark Wood with a yorker to finish the England innings and shattered their World Cup semis hopes.

9:10 pm: ENG - 104/8; Overs 27-33 Highlights
After seamers, now it was spinners turn and they delivered it. Ravindra Jadeja first got Chris Woakes stumped by KL Rahul then Kuldeep Yadav LBW out Liam Livingstone to end all the England hopes. Now, it's just a matter of time for India. England have a deep batting line-up but nothing worked today as Indian bowlers were on a roll. David Willey and Adil Rashid are at the crease for England and delaying India's victory. Willey had thumped Bumrah for a six on the first delivery of the 33rd over.

8:55 pm: Kuldeep gets Livingstone!
It was neatly tossed up and held its line around the centre, but it was the wrong 'un, and the right-hander didn't read it, instead went for a broad sweep and missed. The umpire gave it out, but Livingstone took DRS. There is no bat, and UltraEdge verifies it. Now for the ball-tracking: It's three reds with the ball striking the middle stump, Livingstone is out. The local boy missed out on having Livingstone in his last spell, but he's back to perform his magic.

8:50 pm: Jadeja traps Woakes!
Woakes didn't simply come down the field; he backed away and attempted to go over cover, but he was beaten by the darting delivery, and KL had an easy stumping on hand.

8:40 pm: ENG - 91/6; Overs 20-26 Highlights
Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone punished the bad balls and added crucial runs before Mohammed Shami came into the attack and struck again with the wicket of Moeen Ali. KL Rahul took an easy catch. Chris Woakes joined Livingstone at the crease. It was a good day for Chris Woakes with the ball. He can hit big runs and can also defend the good balls. Livingstone and Woakes need to make a partnership here. Indian bowlers are on a roll. 

8:25 pm: Shami strikes again!
Shami comes in from behind the wicket and delivers a full bowl around off. Moeen Ali gets pulled into a drive with little foot movement. The ball is caught on the outer edge. Rahul takes an easy catch and tosses the ball into the air. India maintains its dominance!

8:10 pm: ENG - 67/5; Overs 13-19 Highlights
Kuldeep Yadav got introduced into the attack after drinks and bowled a tight over. Siraj kept building the pressure from the other end. Jos Buttler got bowled out on a beautiful delivery from Kuldeep Yadav. He goes after adding 10 runs. Ravindra Jadeja was introduced in the 19th over and also bowled a tight over. England are under pressure now, they need a big partnership to come out of this batting collapse. Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone are at the crease and both are capable of big hits and are match-winners for England.

8:00 pm: Kuldeep removes Buttler
Kuldeep bowls this one outside off on a flatter trajectory. Buttler runs down deep in the crease to go to the off-side, but the ball comes around quickly, leaving a large bat-pad space. The ball pierces the stumps and shatters them. Hit the top of the centre. England is now in serious straits! 

7:30 pm: ENG - 42/4; Overs 7-12 Highlights
Jasprit Bumrah from one end and Mohammed Shami from another made it feel like hell for English batters in Lucknow during their fiery spells. After Bumrah took two early wickets, it was Shami's turn now. Mohammed Shami first bamboozled Ben Stokes and then Jonny Bairstow cut the ball to his wickets. All four batters from the top order are out. Captain Jos Buttler is joined by Moeen Ali in the middle. Mohammed Siraj also came back into the attack and bowled a tight over in between.

7:25 pm: Shami gets Bairstow!
Bairstow seeks to cut that away after a short throw around off but finishes up with an inside edge on the thigh pad. Unfortunately, the ball returns to the stumps, and Shami, like Bumrah, is on a hat-trick!

7:15 pm: Shami bamboozled Ben Stokes!
Stokes clears the way, exposing all of his stumps, and Shami zeroes in on the exposed sticks. Goes around the wicket and shatters a disgruntled Ben Stokes' stumps! England has a score of 33/3. The Indian pacers bowled relentlessly! Rohit is ecstatic, Kohli is ecstatic, and India is crushing it in Lucknow!

7:05 pm: ENG - 32/2; Overs 1-6 Highlights
Jasrit Bumrah opened the attack for India and bowled a tight first over with just 4 runs from it. Mohammed Siraj bowled a few wides to start the second over and gained confidence early. Dawid Malan smashed some boundaries and kept the scoreboard moving. Jasprit Bumrah first bowled Dawid Malan and then LBW out Joe Root for the setback. Suddenly, everything changed and the crowd burst out loud. Indian fans are alive now. It is no-run-day for the best players from both the squads. Joe Root joined Virat Kohli and went without adding a single run.

6:56 pm: Bumrah bowled Malan and LBW Root!
Short of a length delivery, skids across the deck, and Malan opts for a square cut. The stumps have been fractured, and a thick inner edge has been generated. Just what India needed: an early wicket. Malan made a few nice strokes, but he made one bad one and paid the price. On the next delivery, Bumrah dismissed Joe Root for an LBW. He asked for a review and it was three red. He took a review along with him.

6:35 pm: England start batting
Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow are in the middle to open the innings for England. Jasprit Bumrah bowled the first over for India. After five dot balls, Jonny Bairstow opened the account with four runs.

Innings Break!
On a not-so-easy surface, Indian batters were rattled by English pacers. Yet still, Rohit Sharma & Co. managed to post a defendable total of 229/9 in Lucknow. India, with five wins in five -- all while chasing, were asked to bat first by Jos Buttler. And it didn't take long for the Indian innings to unravel. By the end of the 12th over, they were 40/3 with only skipper Rohit (87 off 101) remaining unmoved. He, along with KL Rahul (39 off 58) held the innings together, and then Suryakumar Yadav (49 off 47) helped India reach a respectable total. England, needing a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive, were given a new lease of life by the bowlers. David Willey led the attack brilliantly, taking three for 35. Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid also grabbed a brace each.

Target set for England - 230 runs in 300 balls

Adi Rashid strikes again to get Ravindra Jadeja's wicket. Mark Wood removed Mohammed Shami with his pace. Indian innings are very much dependent on Suryakumara Yadav's batting from here.

5:05 pm: Ravindra Jadeja goes for 8
Loud appeal for lbw and Rod Tucker pauses and raises his finger. Jadeja delivers it upstairs. 80.1kph, beautifully flung up leg-break, lands just outside off and spins in. Jadeja advances to defend with a closed bat face but is defeated by the spin and trapped on the front pad next to the sticks. It's ball-tracking time, and it's the umpire's call on hitting! Trimming the top of the leg stump. Jadeja must leave. Adil Rashid takes his second wicket! 

4:50 pm: Rohit Sharma departs
Rashid comes on and strikes immediately - was the wrong 'un and Rohit did spot it, played with the turn as he slogged across the line, but he didn't get it anywhere off the middle of the bat, more from the inner half, lobbed high and over mid-wicket - Livingstone came running across from the deep, slid and finished the catch. But, when he did so, his right leg got buried in the ground, and he landed fairly awkwardly, which didn't seem good on second viewing, but he managed to cling on and finish Rohit's incredible performance. Rohit goes for 87.

4:45 pm: IND - 163/4; Overs 29-36 Highlights

2:35 pm: Virat Kohli goes without scoring
Four dots in a row inspired Kohli to do something risky, and he perished as a result! He was also eager to get started, but Willey's clever bowling got the best of him. Willey's length was reduced when he utilised his feet again. He was nowhere near the pitch of the ball, but he attempted to go deep. It catches the top part of his bat and lobs to centre field.

1:32 pm: What captains said
Jos Buttler, England Captain: Today, we're going to bowl first. Nothing in particular, just a gut feeling. It's a wonderful event, and maybe we can bring our best today. Today, we want to put on a terrific performance. We haven't done ourselves justice, so we're putting on a show and playing for pride today. It's a fantastic opportunity to play in front of a large audience and against India. We're all on the same squad.

Rohit Sharma, India Captain: We wanted to bat first, but we've had success batting second. It appears to be a nice pitch, and it is a new surface that has been relayed here. It has performed admirably throughout 100 overs. It's vital to think like way, but it's also important to understand the two points. We've played some excellent cricket. A break is usually beneficial. It's good to be back here and back in business. We're playing the same team as in the last game.

1:25 pm: Pitch Report
This appears to be a Wankhede stadium track from the 1980s and 1990s. This is the fourth game at this location, and we can already see some wear and tear and dry places, so spinners will be used. Batting will get simpler under lights. Quality spinners will be used. I believe it will spin; the question is how much and when. When there is some spin, India becomes more dangerous. If it spins, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will enter the fray. If the pitch is decent and twists a little, India will be favourites. Ravi Shastri and Nasser Hussain think it's a good pitch.

12:55 pm: Head-to-head Record
India and England have faced each other 8 times in the ICC Cricket World Cup with England recording 4 wins to India's 3. One game was a tie.

Preview:
An unbeaten Indian team take on England in match 29 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, October 29. Coming into this fixture, the Men In Blue are unbeaten so far in this tournament, winning all of their five games. On the other hand, the reigning champions England, have a poor run of form, with one win in five games played and are languishing at the bottom of the table.

Indian batters are in prime form with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, striking the ball to all corners of the ground. As for England, their batters have underperformed and with injury to key bowler Reece Topley, it remains to be seen whether they rope in Brydon Carse or play an extra batter.
