Suryakumar Yadav was unbeaten on 13 in a match whose start was delayed by a pre-game downpour.

Both Rohit and Virat Kohli struggled initially to time the ball on a Providence Stadium pitch much slower and lower than the one in St Lucia, where Rohit flayed Australia's attack.

It looked as if the star batsman was finding his touch when he pulled Reece Topley for six.

But two balls later, with Kohli aiming across the line, left-arm quick Topley knocked over the leg stump to leave India 19-1 in the third over.

England, who overpowered India by 10 wickets in the 2022 semi-final in Adelaide, had another success when Rishabh Pant was out for just four after chipping Sam Curran to midwicket.

Wednesday's first semi-final in Trinidad, in which South Africa thrashed Afghanistan by nine wickets, had a reserve day set aside in the event of rain.
