Post match ceremony
Ryan Sidebottom wins the Man-of-the-Match award.
Collingwood: "A lot of English supporters, but we got booed at the home of cricket by the Indian fans - which was a bit strange. So that gave us a bit of motivation. It was a fantastic performance. We really put India under a lot of pressure. We were hoping the wicket would have pace and it did; we got the balls in good areas."
Dhoni: "We lost it in the middle. They used the bouncers really well, and I don't think we changed our gameplans really well. But there are no excuses. We lost because we didn't bat well." He defended his decision to keep Yuvraj down the order. Do they miss Sehwag? "Rohit was doing the job for us. But, yes, we missed him but he was out with an injury so we couldn't really help that."
Well, what a win that is. India's dug-out is stunned - one of the pre-tournament favourites, and a brilliant side they are, have been thrown out by the hosts. It was a wonderfully tight and tense game and all the players look absolutely exhausted. As am I. That's a fabulous effort from England who weren't at their best, by any stretch, but their bowlers really clawed things back. We'll bring you the post-match things shortly.

Sidebottom to Dhoni, FOUR runs
Eight needed from one ball. Now, Sidebottom really doesn't want to bowl a no-ball here. That'd be rubbish
19.5
1
Sidebottom to Pathan, 1 run
stroked to long-on - England are all but through. Nearly...
9 from 2. Who wants this match? Go on - who wants it?!
19.4
6
Sidebottom to Pathan, SIX runs
he's done it - a six! A one-handed six over the top! The match is alive. What a blow that is. Don't go anywhere - do not leave your seats
15 from 3. Six?
19.3
1
Sidebottom to Dhoni, 1 run
terrific ball! Well bowled indeed! That's brilliant - another off-stump yorker. Sidebottom is all over India here. Pushed out to the off side and India's fans are silent
16 from 4. Four fours will do it
19.2
2
Sidebottom to Dhoni, 2 runs
full toss, but he mistimes this flog to the leg-side
19.1
1
Sidebottom to Pathan, 1 run
good ball, excellent ball - full, almost a yorker, flapped one-handed to long-on. Quick, urgent, adrenaline fuelled fielding
19 from 6. 19 runs from the last over. Nineteen from six balls. England, can you hold your nerve? India, do you want it? India must win to stay in the competition. If England lose, they can still reach the semi-finals. Delays as Collingwood fiddles his field. Has he got enough fielders in the ring? Here comes Sidebottom, hair flapping all over the shop

Stuart Broad 4-0-21-0
James Anderson 4-0-32-0
Good over for Broad, bar the cock-up with the fielding
18.6
1
Broad to Pathan, 1 run
full toss - where's this gone? Sweeps it on the full just wide of short fine leg. Good over for England
18.5
2
Broad to Pathan, 2 runs
full toss, bashed down to long-off but they still get two
22 from 8
18.4
2
Broad to Pathan, 2 runs
outside off and he drives this over cover - for four? No. Wright's quick as a flash round the boundary edge
24 from 9
18.3
1
Broad to Dhoni, 1 run
full delivery pushed to leg
Drama, panic, madness out in the middle
18.2
2
Broad to Dhoni, 2 runs
pulled powerfully to leg - in comes the throw from Swann and they'll be run-out here. Dreadful mix-up - but Broad drops it! They're home safely!
27 from 11
Morgan's on the field. Not sure who he's replacing
18.1
1
Broad to Pathan, 1 run
full toss, flogged down to third man
28 from the last two overs. Sidebottom's going to get the last over: here's Broad, around the wicket. Down the slope. This is massive. This is huge. Don't go anywhere: India are still in it. It's still achievable

Anderson to Dhoni, 2 runs
pulled to fine leg for two
India need a boundary. The dug-out all have their arms crossed, leaning forward, frowning, sweating. Much like me

1
Anderson to Pathan, 1 run
fullish delivery flogged through midwicket
17.4
1
Anderson to Dhoni, 1 run
slower ball on his legs, clipped for just a single
17.3
1
Anderson to Pathan, 1 run
a faster full toss, banged to deep midwicket
Anderson's got a frown on now. India's fans are all cheering and jumping and shouting and here comes Anderson
17.2
4
Anderson to Pathan, FOUR runs
pulled - for four! Poor delivery from Anderson - a slow, meek delivery which sat up and begged to be thrashed. The placement was perfect. It's four
17.1
2
Anderson to Pathan, 2 runs
smashed - absolutely hammered back into the non-striker's stumps, which prevents four. And three. And they get two
That was a crucial over and Wright did okay there. Not too bad. 39 from 18 balls now. Who's it going to be now? Anderson. Three overs to go! India must win to stay alive in the competition.

Wright to Pathan, 1 run
stands tall, slapping to long-off. Not a bad over for England, this. So far, at least. India need a boundary off this last ball
