India v England LIVE: Cricket World Cup result and reaction as defending champions beaten by 100 runs
Follow live updates from Ekana Sports City, Lucknow
England have slumped to yet another heavy defeat, this time collapsing in a run chase as India claim victory by 100 runs to maintain their flawless start to their Cricket World Cup.
The defending World Cup champions have lost four matches in a row, are all but eliminated and had no answers to the bowling of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah. They both starred in the powerplay as England collapsed from 30 without loss to 39 for four and were unable to recover and even get close to the total.
India, meanwhile, have been outstanding, Rohit Sharma’s side have won every game to justify their position as favourites with real quality and depth with the bat and ball.
Liam Livingstone top-scored with 27 in a sorry-looking scorecard for England, but that should take nothing away from India who were exceptional.
The hosts all but secured their place in the semi-finals with a win and maintained the form shown in the win against 2019 runners-up New Zealand. Follow all the updates from the match below and the latest tips and betting preview here.
India 208-7 (46) Yadav 49, Bumrah 6, Wood 1-41 (8)
Yadav has smashed Wood into the stands for 6! He has pre-meditated that, and has flicked him over fine leg for six.
The extra pace has just seen that fly to the boundary and Yadav is closing in on a half century here, he can be so dangerous towards the end of the innings.
Yadav moved on to 49 with a strong cover drive to the boundary, Bumrah turned down a second run.
After 12 balls without a run, Bumrah is off the mark with a heave into the on side for four!
Bumrah has been dropped! Moeen Ali has dropped him! That looped up and looked to be quite a straightforward catch, but the England all-rounder has spilled it.
India 195-7 (45) Yadav 42, Bumrah 0, Willey 2-39 (9)
Willey is back on and Yadav has turned down a single, probably with those dots Bumrah faced in the back of his mind.
He then took it on the third ball of the over, I’m not sure that plan from India has worked.
Bumrah gets it away the final ball of the over, but Yadav turns down the run. A great over from Willey just one run from it.
India 194-7 (44) Yadav 41, Bumrah 0, Wood 1-28 (7)
When Bumrah is on strike the flow of runs just dries up, he has faced eight balls without scoring and it is really denting the total that India will want to put on here.
India 190-7 (43) Yadav 38, Bumrah 0, Rashid 0-35 (10)
Rashid will bowl his last over here, as England keep the pressure on India in the final few overs of this innings.
Yadav has another boundary - again with the sweep shot. He almost has another with one that went through Bumrah.
India 183-7 (42) Yadav 31, Bumrah, Wood 1-24 (6)
It was a good low catch from Buttler. England have bowled so much better in this match than they have at any other point in the tournament so far.
It might be too little too late in terms of having a hope of semi-final qualification, but it has restored some pride.
India do not have the best depth in the lower order if Bumrah is in at 9...
Wicket! Shami out for 1! india 183-7
Mark Wood will have a go at the new batter, and the change of pace might just work, although it can often lead to more boundaries due to the extra pace on the ball.
And he strikes immediately! Shami is out!
That ball at over 90mph just caught the bat on the way through to Buttler. England are turning the screw here.
India 183-6 (41) Yadav 31, Shami 1, Rashid 2-28 (9)
Rashid had been one of the few not to blame for the defeat to South Africa, and he has taken another crucial wicket here.
England are into the bowlers, and that will dent India’s run-scoring abilities in the final 10 overs here.
Wicket! Jadeja out for 8! India 182-6
Rashid has trapped Jadeja lbw! The umpire’s finger goes up...but India have reviewed the decision.
He has not hit the ball, but has it turned too much...almost! DRS showed the ball was just clipping the stumps but that will be enough, England and Rashid have another!
India 180-5 (40) Yadav 30, Jadeja 7, Ali 0-37 (8)
Ali will bowl his eighth. This is now setting up for an interesting contest because at some point India have to accelerate, but at five wickets down, they can’t afford to lose any more wickets before the final few overs.
They will be wanting to target 280 odd, while England will be hoping to restrict them to around 240.
A brief respite came from the final ball of the over, as Buttler missed one that just trickled to the boundary.
India 172-5 (39) Yadav 28, Jadeja 5, Rashid 1-25 (8)
Yadav goes for another sweep shot off Rashid and misses it and will have to wear that bruise!
Rashid bowls a very tight over. This has been so good from England, who were bottom of the standings before the match started.
