Cricket World Cup: Rohit Sharma hits fifth century as India beat Sri Lanka - BBC Sport

Rohit Sharma strikes a record fifth century in a single World Cup as India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets to finish top of the table.

Australia needed 326 to beat South Africa at Old Trafford and by falling short they will play England in the second semi-final at Edgbaston on Thursday.

England had been expecting to face another meeting with India at Edgbaston in the last four, but may be happy to avoid Rohit for as long as possible in such spectacularly prolific form.

Playing his 16th World Cup match, Rohit 32, reached three figures in 92 balls and equalled the record of six World Cup centuries overall, held by legendary compatriot Sachin Tendulkar, who played 44 innings in the event.
