England Playing XI: Jos Buttler(w/c), Alex Hales, Philip Salt, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid
At the practice, England gave Phil Salt an extended session at nets on Wednesday. If Malan is ruled out, Salt will come in as replacement. He is likely to open in place of Alex Hales, who will be slotted in at No 3.
“We will give them full time to recover. We will again test them tomorrow and see if both Malan & Wood have fully recovered. Accordingly we will take call on their inclusion in playing XI”, said Jos Buttler.

Wood’s withdrawal from training appeared to be precautionary. He remains very much a point-of-difference bowler in this side and they will be hoping he is able to contribute more in training on Wednesday.
It will be a huge blow to England in the second semifinal against India on Thursday. The bowler has consistently topped 150 kmph since his return from elbow injury, which kept him inactive for most of the summer. In the ongoing T20 World Cup, the bowler has performed brilliantly for his side. In four matches, the bowler has bagged nine wickets at an average of 12.00 and an economy rate of 7.71. His best bowling figures in the tournament so far are 3/26.
