England vs India, Cricket World Cup 2019: Start time, TV channel info, team news and more

England take on India in their penultimate match of the Cricket World Cup group stages, with victory an imperative for Eoin Morgan’s men.

After defeats by Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia, England’s hopes of qualification to the semi-finals now hang in the balance.

England have not beaten India in seven attempts at the World Cup since 1992 but Joe Root is confident they can still reach the knockout stages.

“We believe we’re still more than capable of qualifying for the semi-finals and when that happens, it doesn’t really matter how you got there,” Root said ahead of Sunday’s game.

England take on an India side that has suffered its own slips in form but Virat Kohli’s men nonetheless remain the favourites to clinch victory in the competition.

When is it?

England vs India gets underway at 10.30am on Sunday 30 June.

Where can I watch it?

Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket will be broadcasting the match from 9.30am.

Subscribers will also be able to stream the match online or via the Sky Go app.

Team news:

England are continuing to wait on the availability of Jason Roy, who missed the games against Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Australia due to a hamstring tear. The opener is being given to the last moment to prove his fitness for the crunch clash.

Jofra Archer (side strain) is another concern but Ben Stokes, having undergone on-pitch treatment for a calf issue at Lord’s, is set to be available.

Odds:

England to win: Evens

India to win: 4/5
