A very good over if you are an India supporter and not that great if you are an England faithful.

Target 254
An excellent six deliveries from Hardik Pandya.
He's made the early breakthrough for India with the wicket of Phil Salt and twice nearly made it two wickets in the over.
His third delivery beat Jos Buttler's outside edge and the England wicketkeeper went for a big swing and miss off the penultimate ball. He's not found his rhythm.
Eng 14-1published at 1.2 overs
Harry Brook, desperate for redemption after dropping Sanju Samson on 15 in the first innings, comes in at number three.
He winds up to tonk Hardik Pandya out of the ground but wisely adjusts and settles for a single.

Oh dear, oh dear. Another early departure for Phil Salt.
He slices a routine catch to Axar Patel, who wraps two hands around the ball in the covers.
Hardik Pandya has a wicket with his first ball.

CricViz analystA score of 250+ has only ever been chased once in T20I cricket history.
South Africa successfully chased a target of 258 against the West Indies at Centurion in 2023, reaching the target with seven balls to spare.
Eng 13-0published at 1 over
Target 254
Three boundaries - two for Jos Buttler, one for Harry Brook - and a single in the opening over. A good start.
Buttler, on eight, needs two more runs to reach double figures for the first time since England's defeat to West Indies. That was on 11 February.
Eng 9-0published at 0.3 overs
Oh ho! Jos Buttler frees his arms and arcs a one-bounce four over cover.
Harry Brook, in the dugout, blows on his fingers.
Both England openers are up and running.

Today is the day for Salt and Buttler. This pitch is an absolute road. 70 inside the powerplay... you heard it here first.
Matthew in London
Maybe Buttler has saved all his runs for today’s game. Century incoming but even that might not be enough!

Here are the stats for England's openers at this World Cup...
Jos Buttler: 26, 21, 3, 3, 7, 2, 0
Phil Salt: 1, 30, 2, 28, 62, 0, 2

Image source, CricvizRight, the players are making their way out to the middle.
England are chasing 254, with Jos Buttler and Phil Salt opening the batting.
I'm almost reluctant to ask this because I fear the wave of negativity could bring our server down... will England win this and reach the T20 World Cup final?
Thumbs up for yes! Thumbs down for no...

CricViz analyst37 boundaries seen in that innings (18x4s, 19x6s) - the most boundaries seen in any innings of this tournament and the second most in the history of T20 WC’s, falling short of the 41 hit by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 2007.
'You have to believe in your strengths in these matches'published at 15:24 GMT
India batter Ishan Kishan: "When I went in I got a few boundaries. The pitch looked flat and I knew we needed a good total on board. I had to get the momentum going and get runs on the board.
"Sanju Samson and I had a good partnership so I did not need to do that much.
"The plan was clear to pick the bowler and go for it. When you play in these matches, you have to believe in your strengths. We have to bowl in a beautiful manner now."
On the crowd: "Each and every player will say that the crowd on your side gives you confidence. But the match is not over yet and we will give it our best."
Postpublished at 15:23 GMT
This was the defining moment in the innings, Harry Brook dropping Sanju Samson on 15 in the powerplay.

He went on to post 89 (42), including eight fours and seven sixes.
Ishan Kishan (39 off 18), Shivam Dube (43 off 25), Hardik Pandya (27 off 12), and Tilak Varma (21 off 7) also thrashed boundaries.
Here are some Sanju highlights. Greatest hits, if you will.

Thanks Adwaidh - and hello all.
I'm wracking my brain for something positive to say about England. I suppose... it could have been worse? Possibly...
Whether you're supporting England or India, I think we can all agree that Sanju Samson was excellent and made the most of being handed a life on 15. Let's have a look back at his innings...
