India vs England LIVE: T20 World Cup result after Jos Buttler and Alex Hales inspire record chase

England marched into the final with a 10-wicket win in Adelaide

"Certainly don't want to see a India v Pakistan final" Jos Butler at T20 World Cup

England are into the T20 World Cup final after producing a staggering performance to beat India in the semi-final in Adelaide.

The absences of injured duo Mark Wood and Dawid Malan - replaced by Chris Jordan and Phil Salt - might have unsettled England but they were able to restrict India to 168 after opting to field first, despite a half-century for Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya’s exceptional 63 off 33 deliveries.

But it proved to be nowhere near enough as captain Jos Buttler (80*) and partner Alex Hales (86*) put on a fireworks show with the bat in a remarkable unbeaten opening stand as England marched into the final with a 10-wicket win over the pre-tournament favourites.

They will now face Pakistan in Sunday’s showpiece in Melbourne.

England 41-0, Buttler 24, Hales 15, Patel 0-8 (1), England need 169 runs to win

Hales and Buttler milk Patel away after the early boundary and collect eight runs from the over. Four gone and England have 41 on the board.

The required rate is now 8 runs per over. It started at 8.5.

England 38-0, Buttler 23, Hales 13, Patel 0-5 (0.2), England need 169 runs to win

Rohit Sharma turns to the left-arm spin of Axar Patel to put a halt on England’s scoring. It doesn’t work as Jos Buttler lifts him over the offside for four runs off the first ball.

Buttler goes again but doesn’t get hold of the ball yet chips it over the fielders for one.

England 33-0, Buttler 18, Hales 13, Kumar 0-25 (2), England need 169 runs to win

Two more for Hales who uses his long arms to pull the ball over to the legside boundary.

Kumar responds will a fuller delivery but Hales is waiting for it. He steps forwards and drives the ball on the up over the infield and carries it over the ropes for six!

Hales ends the over with another two. 12 runs from the over!

England 23-0, Buttler 18, Hales 3, Kumar 0-15 (1.3), England need 169 runs to win

Swing and miss! Kumar’s first delivery to Hales is a good length but wide. Hales swipes at it but misses out by some way. A similar delivery follows and Hales connects this time but only picks up one.

There’s a fielder on the deep point boundary that Buttler picks out with a simple push into the offside.

England 21-0, Buttler 17, Hales 3, Arshdeep 0-8 (1), England need 169 runs to win

That’s a decent response from Arshdeep Singh. It’s almost tough when one of the first couple of balls in an over goes for a boundary but the seamer restricts England to just eight from the over.

England will be pleased with this start though.

[10 November 2022 09:56 · Michael Jones]

England 19-0, Buttler 16, Hales 1, Arshdeep 0-6 (0.3), England need 169 runs to win

Four! Arshdeep angles the ball across Buttler who opens up the face of the bat and guides the ball fine, all the way down to third man, for another boundary.

There’s a bit of pressure on Arshdeep now who attempts an inswinger and sends it wide of Buttler’s leg-stump.

[10 November 2022 09:55 · Michael Jones]

England 14-0, Buttler 12, Hales 1, Arshdeep 0-1 (0.1), England need 169 runs to win

Arshdeep Singh takes the new ball from the other end. He’s found a fair bit of swing throughout this tournament and will be looking for more today.

The left-arm seamer starts over the wicket and draws the outside edge from Alex Hales who looks to work him into the legside. The ball squirts away and Hales gets off the mark with a single.

[10 November 2022 09:52 · Michael Jones]

England 13-0, Buttler 12, Hales 0, Kumar 0-13 (1), England need 169 runs to win

Four more! Pant drops back behind the stumps and Buttler dances down the pitch before driving the ball through the tight offside field for another boundary.

There are a couple of plays and misses from the England captain as Kumar probes outside the off-stump.

The final ball strays down leg and Buttler flicks it away for a third four of the over!

[10 November 2022 09:50 · Michael Jones]

England 5-0, Buttler 4, Hales 0, Kumar 0-5 (0.1), England need 169 runs to win

Buttler shimmies down the track then leaves the ball as the swing takes it away from the right-handed batter and out for a wide. Rishabh Pant comes up to the stumps to keep Buttler inside his crease ahead of the next ball.

Kumar goes full and Buttler drills him through the offside for four runs!

Good start for England.

[10 November 2022 09:48 · Michael Jones]

England 0-0, Buttler 0, Hales 0, Kumar 0-0 (0), England need 169 runs to win

Jos Buttler and Alex Hales stride out for England’s innings. The England captain will face the first ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. India have 168 runs to defend, England need 169 to reach the final.

Pakistan await the winning team. Who will it be?
