It was a crucial match not just for England, but also for Bangaldesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka as their qualification for the semifinals depended on this result. But to all of Asia's agony, India lost to England by 31 runs. This is how the cricketing fraternity reacted to India's loss.
Brief Score: England 337/7 in 50 overs (Jonny Bairstow 111, Ben Stokes 79; Mohammed Shami 5-69, Jasprit Bumrah 1-44) beats India 306/5 in 50 overs (Rohit Sharma 102, Virat Kohli 66; Liam Plunkett 3-55, Chris Woakes 2-58) by 31 runs
This is something ICC should consider!
What I like to see in the next ODI World Cup is batting and bowling bonus points.. this is a better way to produce entertaining ODI cricket.. the importance of NRR is rubbish in my opinion.

A disgruntled Pakistani fan!
India could have played better. An aggressive approach in first 10 overs and then with 5 wickets in hand, they could have done wonders.

But overall, very strong performance by England. Our hopes now move towards New Zealand.

The first 10 overs hurt us!

Now that is impressive!
So only the third defeat for India in a 50 over World Cup match after the 2007 WC exit. Congratulations to England on a clinical win. Well played

Give the cup to England already!
Lots have said, ‘the team that beats India, will win the CWC’...

Chin up India!
India should not be too disappointed as Eng played better cricket but the only thing India needs to think about would be as to who would be the strikers of the ball in the last 10 overs. Come another day does India have the firepower to chase down such a target?

God has spoken!
Congratulations to England on their victory today. Must say some big batting performances from both sides. A special effort by who I believe can walk into any side in the world.

Well, the streak had to end...
The unbeaten run comes to an end. A hard day at the office for the boys. The business end of the tournament is still up for grabs. Come on boys let’s regroup and get back on track.
