India will bid to edge one step closer to a semi-final spot when they take on West Indies at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Virat Kohli's side, unbeaten in the tournament so far, lie third in the table and one point better off than fourth-placed England having played two games less.
The West Indies still have a mathematical chance of a top-four finish and will be determined to keep their hopes alive after their agonising five-run defeat to New Zealand in their last match.
One to watch
Kohli has yet to make a century at this tournament and is currently being out-scored by team-mate Rohit Sharma. But successive knocks of 82, 77 and 67 – he made 18 in India's opening match – suggest a hundred is just around the corner.

Fans-tastic
There is some pretty stiff competition for who has got the noisiest backing at the 2019 World Cup. Bangladesh and India fans can both lay claim to that title, but Pakistan's 'green army' took support to a different level as a raucous Edgbaston atmosphere made life difficult for New Zealand.

Spinning his web
Some wickets are celebrated more than others, and Kane Williamson's is as treasured as much as anyone at this World Cup. Williamson was digging New Zealand out of another hole when Shadab Khan bamboozled him with a ball of prodigious turn that took the outside edge and gave wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed a catch behind.
Top-four fight
What seemed a procession towards the semi-finals a week ago is now anything but. Successive England defeats have opened the door for Bangladesh, Pakistan or Sri Lanka to sneak into the final four. England's last two games are against India and New Zealand and the race for a semi-final spot looks like going to the wire.
