A collective bowling effort from England restricted the high-flying Indian Team to 229 for nine in 50 overs in Lucknow. David Willey was the star for the defending champions, picking two wickets, while Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid also returned with two wickets each. For India, captain Rohit Sharma stood out, hitting a gritty 87 off 101 balls, and Suryakumar Yadav impressed everyone with his fighting 49.

England need 230 runs to win this match.

England won the toss and sent India out to bat first for the first time in this tournament. Willey and Woakes kept it tight with the new ball, as Woakes removed Shubman Gill, clean bowled on nine. A few balls later, Willey removed veteran Virat Kohli on a duck and reduced India to 27 for two inside eight overs.

In-form Rohit showed intent and, alongside Shreyas Iyer, tried stitching a stand; however, a rising delivery from Woakes caught Iyer off-guard, as he mistimed one to the mid-on area.

The crisis man – KL Rahul, joined Rohit in the middle, and the pair went about their business with odd boundaries and regular strike-rotation. Just when it looked like India might put in the fourth gear, KL top-edged off Willey and got out, caught at mid-on.&nbsp;

In the meantime, Rohit completed his fifty and looked strong to notch his eighth World Cup hundred. But Adil Rashid spoiled his plans, picking the big fish out on 87 off 101 balls. With that, the crowd went silent.

Suryakumar came close to scoring his maiden CWC fifty but got out, caught&nbsp;at deep point off Willey on 49.

Jasprit Bumrah tried putting bat to ball on most occasions but could barely manage a few doubles.

As a result, England succeeded in their efforts to restrict India to an under-par total.

World Cup 2023: Rohit, Suryakumar star with bat but England restrict India to modest total

England has won the toss and elected to bowl first in Lucknow, sending India to bat first for the first time in this tournament. Jos Buttler and Rohit Sharma announced unchanged playing XIs for this marquee World Cup clash.&nbsp;

Here are the playing XIs of both teams –

India - Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj

England - Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w/c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

<h2>India bat first for the first time in CWC 2023</h2>

Having successfully chased five totals in as many contested games in this World Cup edition, India will be batting first for the first time. Admitting to be doing the same had he won the toss, India's captain said,

“We wanted to bat first; we have had a good time batting second. Looks like a good pitch, it's a new surface which has been relayed here. It has played well for the 100 overs.&nbsp;

“I mean it's quite important to think like that, but it's important to get the two points. We have played some good cricket. It's always good to have a break. It's nice to come back here and get back into business. We are playing the same team we played in the last game,” the India captain added.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, a win in Lucknow will seal India’s spot in the CWC semis, becoming the first team to do so, whereas, England would like to spoil their party after being pressed against the wall with four losses thus far.

The underperforming England side will aim to turn the tables around and push for an unlikely case of reaching the semis.&nbsp;

At the toss, captain Buttler said, “We are going to bowl first today.”&nbsp;

“Not anything in particular, it's a gut decision. It's a great occasion, and hopefully, today we bring our best. Today, we want to put up a good show. We haven't done ourselves justice, today we want to put up a show and play for pride. Playing in front of a full crowd and against India, it's a great occasion. We are going with the same team,” Buttler added.
