India vs England, 2nd Semi-Final, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Varun Chakaravarthy to Jos Buttler, out Bowled!! Oh dear! Was that even needed from Jos Buttler? Three sixes from Jacob Bethell, but he has a wicket to his name. Was tossed up on a length around off, was the wrong 'un and it kept sliding back onto the right-hander - Buttler was looking to maximise the last over before the PP ends, he looks to go over mid-on, plays all-around and the ball flicks the top of leg-stump. Varun Chakaravarthy is smiling, so are the Indians in the field, at the stands and those billions watching it across platforms. They've taken drinks with England having lost their top-order inside the batting PP. Jos Buttler b Varun Chakaravarthy 25(17) [4s-4 6s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, 2 runs, on a good length and just outside off - Buttler backs away and then looks to go inside out over cover. Didn't come off the middle of the bat and the ball drops in front of the chasing fielder, he's back for the second

Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, no run, back of a length and at the stumps - Buttler doesn't get hold of the pull and mistimes it to mid-wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, no run, short of a good length and just outside off - Buttler plays away from his body and inside halves it back at the bowler

Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, no run, Arshdeep drags the length back and angles one onto the pads, past Buttler's tuck and the ball drops down to the on-side

Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, FOUR, hammered, Buttler needs runs and he knows he has the license to go hard here - on a good length and angling across the right-hander, lets Jos Buttler free his arms on the lofted drive, couple of bounces and over the ropes
