India vs England LIVE

India take on England in Match 29 of the Cricket World Cup at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The two teams are at different positions in their campaign: India have played five, won five. England, meanwhile, have played five, won one to sit bottom of the points table. The defending champions are in a terrible position and face an early exit.

India vs England LIVE: India and England have played contrast cricket at the World Cup and have had contrast results as well. That may not change when they square off at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow.

India are one win away from booking a place in the semi-finals, with six wins in six, while England are desperately seeking survival. A defeat today and they will be out of reckoning for the last-four.

England’s boom or bust approach paid dividends with them clinching the ODI World Cup in 2019 and T20 World Cup last year but that has not worked in Indian conditions.

With India all but assured of a place in the next stage of the tournament, it is an opportunity for Rohit Sharma’s side to give some players a chance. R Ashwin could come in with Hardik Pandya set to miss a second match running. If he plays, one seamer would have to be dropped which would ideally be between Mohammad Siraj and Mohammed Shami.

Squads:

England squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Brydon Carse, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya.
