Have they ever watched T20 cricket before?This aged well
Shame all the Indian fans must have switched the game off already.
Absolute madness.
They obviously haven't watched any of this world cup that's for sure!
Even more unpredictable than normal.
160 is a defendable total regardless of the pitch. Even on good pitches teams don't just stroll to 160, a couple of bad shots and you're under pressure.
As it is, India have gotten themselves into a good position here now.
Good over from Jordan
Same question that most of us Indian fans have got for our management and board.
Jordan is killing is 
What a hit
Challenging total that,
Should be a close chase, India still favourites for me.

Why is anyone still watching this game? I turned off after 6 overs when the match finished.
Went exactly as expected. They got well over 100 in the final 10.
Good total
30 runs short.
Honestly I think this should be an easy chase for England. Their fans won't want to admit it but just looking at it objectively, I think this match was decided at the toss to be honest.
Slightly under par score despite the crazy Pandya blitz. Shows how poorly the rest batted.
Good game on. We desperately need a Buttler 50.
But this is not a “normal” game. Obviously if England bat normally, they’ll win.
But that’s like saying if one team scores more than the other, they’ll win.
Not going to be enough.
This one will be close. Just need England batsmen to play clever cricket rather than give cheap wickets away like v Sri Lanka. Need to be 50-0 at the end of the powerplay for me to be confident.
Very good total by India this especially after where they were, Pandya in beast mode however some mixed bowling by England. I worry about England chasing this after the fragility they showed against SL and across the tournament. Going to need some players to stand up otherwise they will be going home.
Yes mate looking at it objectively England will piss getting 170 in a world cup semi final v India,
168 is a very good total on this pitch. Bhuvi gets Buttler out early and then it’s completely in India’s hands
England ahead -- semi and scoreboard pressure, we're very much in it
Bang on par I think.
No way. we needed at least 180. We almost could not even almost defend that much against Bangladesh on same ground
50/50. England will be satisfied but semi final pressure eh?
No way in the world this will be an easy chase, India to win from here easy
Before the match you'd have taken 170 as an England fan to chase. But India came back well so will also be pretty happy.
aye. probs get it inside the power play.
Never easy. What I will say is a normal batting performance should do it.
10-15 runs short of a total that would stress Enhland.
Momentum clearly with India after the final 5 overs.
England need to go all out attack in the PP before the wicket slows down. 70/3 is better than 50/1.

Hopefully no mankading.
It's not bad.
If India get an early wickets it's game on. Obviously if Butler smashes through the PP India are in trouble.
I love it how people think they can put those comments on and they will make a difference in jinxing. Seems to happen quite often in these type of games.
90 all out will be even better
Just like yesterday:
- 20-30 runs short
- the captain plays an ODI, wastes six overs at a run a ball
- the most powerful hitters are put under too much pressure to accelerate in the middle
- a non-embarrassing total is achieved through shots at the end
Just like yesterday, an English implosion aside, this is a straightforward chase in a semi-final.
Questions need to be asked of Indian selection and tactics in yet another ICC tournament where we've underperformed.

There is no such thing as a straightforward chase in any semi final.
