    This just proves we are absolutely cooked without Rashid. Keeping his head whilst all around are losing theirs.

    At the halfway mark of the innings, India have amassed their second highest score of any team so far in this competition, falling just short of the 120 they scored against Namibia. They have done so whilst playing just 9.5% false shots - lower than their figure against Namibia.

    You get the feeling that the change in the India batting order, binging Shivam Dube in, is to keep the momentum going.

    No stopping Sanju Samson though!

    He clobbers Jamie Overton for a six down the ground to put England onto their backfoot again early in the over.

    Since then, he's flown to his half-century off 26 balls and is unbeaten on 67 (34), including eight fours and four sixes.

    We've had barely a moment to breathe in this semi-final so far.

    But England will hope to find a way back now after breaking that dangerous partnership between Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson.

    India have promoted Shivam Dube up the order to give company to Samson, who is on 67 from 34 balls.

    Ishan Kishan had to take that risk against the leg-spinner. It was nicely bowled by Adil Rashid - he is the one bowler who looks like he can pick up wickets.

    Much needed for England.

    Adil Rashid finds the breakthrough!

    Ishan Kishan walks back to the pavilion after an 18-ball 39.

    A miscue from the India batter and Will Jacks holds on this time for England.

    Ishan Kishan is almost going under the radar but is playing superbly too. There is pressure from both ends.

    Adil Rashid’s average speed this tournament has been just 49.5mph - the slowest of any of the six tournaments he has played in. His haul of 11 wickets this tournament is his highest in a World T20.

    Sanju Samson reads a slower ball from Sam Curran and finds the rope again on the off side.

    Harry Brook turns back to Adil Rashid again for a breakthrough.

    I work from home, an England supporter. My Dad, a proud Indian, is downstairs watching. I've told him not to bother me as I have back-to-back meetings this afternoon. The only meeting I have is with this page.

    England seriously need something. They have no answer at the moment.

    India bring up their 100 and it's only the ninth over of the innings.

    Sanju Samson then gets on his backfoot to pull Sam Curran for a six - the ball loops just over Will Jacks at deep mid-wicket.

    England desperately need a wicket here or this game could get away from them swiftly.

    India clearly have a game plan. Sanju Samson wants to be there until the end of the innings.

    They are playing with complete freedom and India should make is past 200 at this rate.

    More runs for Ishan Kishan and India.

    He smokes a wayward delivery from Sam Curran over mid-wicket for his second maximum of the day.

    India are playing a similar game to what they did against West Indies. This is amazing batting - what a partnership.

    Ishan Kishan joins the party now!

    He sends Liam Dawson for a second six of the over as he slog-sweeps him over the rope.

    An expensive over to start from Dawson conceding 19!
