Watch: Rohit fumes, Hardik seethes as Shami makes huge fielding blunder vs ENG
England had the match in their favour from the first over itself and never let India sniff an opportunity in the second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. England openers Alex Hales and Jos Buttler took on the India attack in the powerplay, notching up 63 runs, the most India have conceded with the new ball, and continued with their momentum as they inched closer to the target. En route, they were helped by a couple of fielding errors as well, the most notable one was by Mohammed Shami which had left both Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya furious.

It happened in the ninth over the innings where Buttler lapped the fuller and outside-off delivery from Hardik over to fine leg. Shami sprinted in quickly to restrict it to only two runs, but upon collecting the ball near the boundary ropes, he flipped it over to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, but got his throw wrong. The ball went over Bhuvneshwar's head, allowing England to steal two more runs.
