Man of the Match Justin Kemp

England are now out of the tournament but they could do these two teams a favour by beating India. However, if India win this and their next game against South Africa , it will be a three-way race for the semi-final spots. More fun on offer.

On behalf of my co-commentator Kanishkaa Balachandran, this is Sriram Veera signing off.

19.1

Gillespie to Kemp, SIX, Done in style. Typical Kemp shot. Full and on the stumps, he clears the front foot and swings through the line. The white ball disappears over long-on. Game over.

Just 2 more. It should be a breeze. Vettori has a chat with Mark Gillespie.

18.6

Bond to Pollock, 2 runs, walks across the sticks and of course its another full toss and Pollock paddle-scoops it high over the short fine-leg fielder.

18.5

Bond to Kemp, 1 run, that low full toss again, but this time its at the body, short-arm jabbed away to deep square leg

18.4

Bond to Pollock, 1 run, another slower one, short in length, outside off, swatted over the bowler's head

18.3

Bond to Kemp, 1 run, on the middle and leg, worked past square leg

18.3

Bond to Kemp, 1 wide, Slower one, short in length and well outside the off stump, Kemp goes for a cut shot and there is a noise. Did it hit the edge? Wide called.

Kemp pulls out prior to the release of the delivery. He is not happy with the movement behind the bowler's arm.
