IND vs ENG live stream: how to watch Cricket World Cup online and on TV – England chasing 230

While India have been sensational, winning all five of their Cricket World Cup games, England have been abysmal. Four defeats from five games mean the defending champions are likely heading home, though things could get even worse at BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow today.

India set a target of 230 in the first session, which gives England a very decent shot at pulling off a colossal upset. The match is airing for FREE in Australia on the 9Now streaming service. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch IND vs ENG live streams on 9Now from anywhere with a VPN.

Fresh from toppling what was then the only other unbeaten side in the competition, New Zealand, courtesy of another Virat Kohli masterclass and a Mohammed Shami five-for, the hosts are living up to their considerable reputation. 

And what's perhaps most frightening of all is that alterations to their starting XI haven't disrupted them. No matter who gets the nod their batters and bowlers are in blazing form.

And then you have England.

Having been thrashed by New Zealand in the opener, stunned by Afghanistan in one of the biggest giant-killings in World Cup history, and embarrassed by South Africa in a record ODI defeat, their latest humbling was at the hands of a struggling Sri Lanka side, who hammered them by eight wickets in midweek. 

They're done, out, up the creek without a paddle. But the tournament implores them to play their remaining four games, three of which are against heavyweights. It's a miserable end for many of the personnel that won the World Cup four years ago. Can they at least claw back a little bit of pride?

England team: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

India team: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj
