New Zealand 211-5 v India as rain stops play in World Cup semifinal

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson had earlier made 67 after winning the toss, with Jasprit Bumrah (1-25 off eight overs) leading a disciplined India bowling attack.There are an additional two hours’ playing time in which to complete the match on Tuesday and a reserve day has also been scheduled for Wednesday.
But the reserve day will only come into operation if the minimum 20 overs-per-side match needed for a result under the Duckworth-Lewis method for rain-affected games cannot be finished on Tuesday.
In that case, the match would continue Wednesday from where it left off rather be re-started.
India or New Zealand will face the winners of Thursday’s second semi-final between hosts England and reigning champions Australia in the July 14 final at Lord’s.
