England decide to bat first after winning the toss. They bring in Luke Wright, James Tredwell and Chris Tremlett at the expense of Paul Collingwood, Ajmal Shahzad and James Anderson for the must-win match in Chennai
Matt Prior retains his place at the top of the order but is out for 21 after Andre Russell, playing in only his second one-day international, demolishes his stumps in the 10th over
Andrew Strauss looks in good form but his innings of 31, which featured a thumping six, comes to an end when he is caught by a diving Chris Gayle after top-edging a hook off the bowling of Russell
Jonathan Trott makes an impressive start, hitting 22 from his first eight balls, before falling for 47 from 38 after Gayle takes a catch off debutant leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo

Tredwell and Wright put on 41 before Tredwell is run out attempting an extra run off a msifield
Wright does his best to justify his selection for the first time in the tournament and plays well to reach 44, however, a thoughtless shot results in his departure to Bishoo

Captain Strauss leads the congratulations after Bopara dismisses the dangerous Darren Sammy for 41 from 29 balls and then wicketkeeper Thomas for 10, both out after chopping the ball onto their stumps
Kieron Pollard threatened to take the game away from England with some typically thunderous shots but he is out for 24 after Swann comes back into the attack to trap him lbw
Russell carries on the attack and blasts three sixes and two fours before Tredwell gets him lbw to end his stunning knock on 49 - the highest score in the match
Tremlett, whose five overs with the ball were smashed for 47 runs, takes a superb diving catch to dismiss Roach for a second-ball duck and put England on the brink of another dramatic victory
