The wonderful Wankhede Stadium, the venue for this second semi-final, and it feels a little bit warmer in the middle than when we're here for the group stages. If you look at the weather forecast, 32 was the high. It's going to go down to 28 degrees, but also there's a lovely breeze down the ground - 15k - and that's hitting in the direction of the Tendulkar and Dilip Vengsarkar stands. We are pitch 7, which is right in the middle, and the ground dimension, 75 metres down the ground and equidistant on both sides, 65 metres and 65 metres. We're right in the middle. Wonderful amphitheatre. What about the pitch and the surroundings? I think the battle really starts beyond the boundary with the sea of blue that's going to be here supporting India. England are going to have to quieten that. They've applied an anti-dew repellent onto this ground, so hopefully that keeps the dew away and keeps it quite, suppose, equal for both teams. The surface itself, it has spun more historically than any of the other pitches on this square or in this country. And that's about 2.3 degrees of turn. However, I'm not saying that's going to happen tonight because it feels a little bit harder. I've been told that they've cross-rolled it. There's a little bit more grass along here, so I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be a nice surface where the ball comes on.

India (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson(w), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w), Harry Brook(c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid

England have won the toss and opted to bowl first. India will bat first and must post a massive total on the board now.

Only five minutes to go for the toss and at 6:30 PM, both captains will be in the middle soon for the same. Win the toss and bat or win the toss and bowl?

Rohit Sharma is at the Wankhede Stadium and is speaking to Suryakumar Yadav. Is he giving him any tips on how to beat England?

India are unlikely to make any changes to their playing XI after a brilliant win over the West Indies. But they could be tempted to bring in Kuldeep Yadav as England haven't played spin well in this tournament. Will India drop Arshdeep in that case?

England are likely to make one change to their playing XI. Jamie Overton has marked his run-up and is likely to replace Rehan Ahmed for this match.

This is the battle that can shape the game today. Archer has dismissed Indian openers eight times and the openers are averaging 15.86 in seven innings against him. Who will come up on top today?

Sanju Samson played the best innings of his life in the game against the West Indies, smashing 97 runs in the 196-run chase. It was a brilliant knock from him and he would be keen on taking India into the final now. But can he overcome the Jofra Archer factor?
