India vs England LIVE: Match day!
It’s the day of the big ICC World Cup clash between two pre-tournament favourites – India and England. And at this stage of the tournament, a lot is riding on this match for both teams.
Hosts England, who were pushed down to the fifth spot by Pakistan yesterday, must win at Edgbaston in Birmingham today to stay alive in the tournament.
On the other hand, a win for Virat Kohli and co, who will be donning their alternate blue and orange jerseys, would mean they join defending champions Australia in the semifinals.
So stay tuned for live updates! And in the meanwhile, check out some of our preview stories for the game.
Virat on Dhoni
It’s upto the discussions between the two batsmen in the middle. I think MS was trying really hard, trying to get that boundary. It was just not coming off. They were bowling good areas and it wasn’t easy to get those boundaries when it got to us needing 15 an over. We’ll have to sit down and assess and improve on things in the next game.Virat Kohli

Every team has lost a game here and there. No one likes to lose but we have to accept it, take it in our stride and accept that the opposition played better on the day. The mood is absolutely same in the dressing room. It’s a setback but as professional cricketers we have to understand that we have to learn from it and move forwardVirat Kohli

This is not happening today. The ask is too high and with MS Dhoni struggling with the injury, there's no way India are going to be able to continue their winning run today.
7 runs come off Jofra Archer's 49th over.
