IND v ENG Live: Latest weather update - Drizzle and wet oufield
Dinesh Karthik has turned our weatherman again. He says it was raining while the broadcasters were making their way to the ground. However, it has reduced to a drizzle. The sun is peeping out but the outfield looks horrible. There are puddles of water on the outfield while only the main pitch is covered.
Why can't we cover the entire ground, considering the bad forecast for today?
Good news is that the Providence Stadium in Guyana has a good draining facility.

IND v ENG Live: Who has the edge in Guyana semi-final?
It can't get more mouthwatering than this - the World No. 1 side vs the defending champions. Two power-packed batting units and two gun bowling attacks go head-to-head in the heavyweight semi-final. The hallmark of the two sides in the recent past has been their ability to adapt and the conditions in Guyana on Thursday will determine which style of T20 cricket they will play.
India will have a slight edge as they have shown a tendency to be flexible and proactive in difficult conditions in the USA and the West Indies in the T20 World Cup.

T20 World Cup semi-final live: It's a repeat of the 2022 semifinal
It's a big ticket game between India and England. The semi-final game in Guyana has sparked a lot of interest. It's a repeat of the 2022 semi-final. Defending champions England hammered India by 10 wickets after chasing down 169 in just 16 overs. India will be eyeing revenge. Yes, Rohit Sharma has steered clear of such revenge talks, but India will be keen on making a mark.
The personnel hasn't changed much. However, India's approach in the T20I format has changed. Spearheaded by Rohit Sharma, India have learnt to be fearless, especially with the bat. They can no longer be bullied if sent to bat first. Ask Australia. The 2021 champions learnt it the hard way after putting India into bat after winning the toss in their Super 8 match earlier in the week in St Lucia. Rohit Sharma walked out with no fear of failure and tore into the Australian bowling attack. He hit Mitchell Starc for four sixes in a 29-run over. His 41-ball 92 and handy contributions from the rest of the order helped India post a total of 205, which proved too much in the end for Australia.
