ENGLAND’S amazing World Cup campaign took another twist on Thursday when it was announced that Mike Yardy had withdrawn from the Three Lions squad with depression. Yorkshire leg-spinning all-rounder Adil Rashid has been allowed to join Andrew Strauss's men before they take on Sri Lanka in a quarter-final in Colombo.
Andrew Strauss’s are 13-8 to turn over Kumar Sangakkara's charges and qualify for the semi-finals like co-hosts India, who dumped out holders Australia in Ahmedabad, when winning by five wickets.
MS Dhoni's men are now 7-4 tournament favourites and 8-13 to beat Pakistan in the first semi-final in Mohali on Wednesday.
Gold and Greens skipper Ricky Ponting, a runner-up in 1996 and three-time winner since, top-scored with 104 at 4-1 in a total of 260-6.
But Yuvraj Singh, who headed the home lists at 11-2 with 57 not out, and Suresh Raina held steady for India with a 74-run partnership from 187-5.
