Meanwhile, Kohli has ditched the football and picked up the bat, he is receiving some throwdowns. The English players have picked up the football though, they are all having a kickabout. Wonder if any of them are hoping to get a flight to Germany as a last minute addition to Gareth Southgate's squad. Possibly not.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Talk about players going head to head, Rohit Sharma and Jos Buttler have done just that in this tournament. Both players have scored 191 runs in six innings at a strike rate of exactly 159.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Meanwhile Hotstar just aired an interview that Jasprit Bumrah gave to the broadcasters. Here are the parts that I jotted down for you:

On ensuring that the pressure doesn't get to the team: “We as a unit have played a lot of ICC tournaments and so we are trying to keep our feet on the ground, try to block out the noise and focus on our team. We can only control the controllables. Waiting for the game to happen.”

On how he manages to stop the batters from scoring too many runs against him: “We have to assess the wickets since we are playing on different grounds everyday. The overhead conditions are a factor and we have to assess how then wicket is behaving If I do all my things properly, everything else takes care of itself. We try to focus on our strengths and if we do that, everything takes care of itself.”

On Arshdeep Singh: “He's been very good, set the tone for us with the new ball. He has been able to swing it in the end as well. He wants to keep improving which is a very positive sign. Hopefully he will have a good game.”

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: How about that. The ground staff had just started moving the covers away when suddenly, the rains returned and the covers had to be placed again. It is that kind of a day. No update on the revised time for toss yet. It is not a heavy downpour though, England's Reece Topley, Chris Jordan and Jofra Archer are kicking a football around at the edge of the field and they aren't bothered by it.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: The India head coach has strolled out to the field and is having a word with the umpire. The ground staff are also out there and they are rummaging with the covers. It is all dry everywhere now and no rain at all, no rain can be seen in the vicinity either. We could have an update on the toss soon.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: The good news is that there is no darkness in the vicinity at the moment and the sun is shining through those distant clouds again, illuminating patches of the clear the sky blue. It is not looking dark and gloomy, let's hope we will have the toss soon and no loss of overs.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: This was quite a heavy spell and there is just over 15 minutes to go for the toss. It will be quite extraordinary indeed if the ground staff get everything ready on time. The players haven't really got a chance to warm-up yet.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: It is pouring again at Providence Stadium. Seems to be only passing showers again but it is coming down pretty hard.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Rohit is 37 now, he will be 39 by the time the next T20 World Cup comes in India and Sri Lanka. Kohli is 35 and he will be 37. By no means are both players too old or past their prime but the fact remains that they came back into the T20 fold in international cricket only in January this year, sitting out the format throughout last year. There are also a number of youngsters waiting in the wings, with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill not finding a place in this squad. Does all this point out to an end of two of the greatest careers of all time in T20 cricket?

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Bumrah has taken 11 wickets in this tournament but that is not the impressive bit. Not even close. He has gone at an economy of 4.08 in the six matches he has played thus far, easily the lowest among bowlers in the top 10 wicket-takers of this tournament. Bumrah has given less than 10 runs in a four-over spell twice in this tournament.
