The playing XI of the two teams

England:Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (capt), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer,Mark Wood

Australia:Aaron Finch (capt), David Warner, Steven Smith, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jason Behrendorff

Australia won the toss and will bat first

Aaron Finch thinks that the wicket will not change much in the second innings and runs on the scoreboard will be crucial in such a game.

Eoin Morgan would have loved to bat first too. They have lost twice in this World Cup till now, and in each of those matches they chased. Can England break the chain and prove that they are more than an one dimensional team?

Will there be any 'Gibbs moment'?

An expert in knockout punches

A match to remember!

First time since 1992!

England will be playing their first semifinal match in the ICC ODI World Cup since 1992. A long, long time! And in that fateful match, they defeated South Africa, largely thanks to the DLS method.

This happened. One of the greatest matches in the history of ODI cricket

A bit of trivia, and heavy metal

Honing his weakness?
