The crucial T20 World Cup semifinal between India and England in Guyana on Thursday will start at 7.45pm UAE time following a rain delay and a wet outfield. Despite the delay, no overs were lost and it will be a full game.
England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl.
Wednesday's first semifinal in Trinidad, in which South Africa hammered Afghanistan by nine wickets, had a reserve day set aside in the event of rain.
But the England vs India game, taking place during a traditionally wet period of the year, has only 250 minutes of extra time set aside to ensure a result.

A 10 overs-per-side match is required for a result in the knockout stage. But if the game is washed out, India will play South Africa in Saturday's final in Barbados as a result of topping their Super Eights group.
India have to yet lose a match at the 20-over tournament but the only Test side that England have defeated on their way to the last four are co-hosts the West Indies.
Thursday's match is a repeat of the 2022 semifinal in Adelaide, where England hammered India by 10 wickets before defeating Pakistan in the final.
