Rohit Sharma saved India's blushes with a captain's knock of 87 in what initially appeared a below-par total of 229-9 on a tricky surface at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Put into bat, the hosts slumped to 40-3 in the 12th over before Rohit forged a 91-run partnership with KL Rahul (39) to arrest their slide. Suryakumar Yadav contributed a breezy 49 down the order and India's tailenders scored some useful runs towards the end to take them past the 225-mark. England were reduced to 52-5 inside 16 overs in a remarkable batting capitulation and were eventually bundled out for 129 in inside 35 overs with Mohammed Shami claiming 4-22 for India.

New Zealand have the luxury of back-to-back games in the former British hill station where they face a resurgent Australia on Saturday. With the town also the base of the Tibetan government-in-exile, New Zealand players jumped at the chance to meet the organisation's spiritual leader. "This morning most of the group went to meet the Dalai Lama in person at his residence which was amazing," said batsman Will Young. "The boys have had a good chance to obviously get stuck into the cricket but also have a bit of down-time as well." With a 4-1 record midway through the group phase, 2019 runners-up New Zealand are sitting pretty at third in the standings.

Twice champions India left out an injured Hardik Pandya and fellow all-rounder Shardul Thakur bringing in batter Suryakumar Yadav and seamer Mohammed Shami. Rohit said India relished chasing on a track, where dew could make bowling difficult in the second innings. "In training yesterday we thought dew came in early," Rohit said. New Zealand, who are without regular skipper Kane Williamson, fielded the same team that beat Afghanistan in their previous match. "We would've bowled first as well due to the dew," stand-in skipper Tom Latham said.

Rahul made 58 not out, staying put till the end to secure India's victory by hitting Abbott for a four and a six.

I had lunch with Jofra today (Wednesday) and he said that he was coming at me," Livingstone said. "It's nice personally to finally get a few out of the middle after a bit of a rusty start to the tournament." Punjab are seventh with 10 points from as many games, level with three other sides who have all played one match less.
