Manchester: 111 is the medical emergency number here in the United Kingdom. But when India dialed 1-1-1 [the scores of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli] it wasn't for medical help, but to avert a disaster. India's over-reliance on the top three was their downfall as they went down fighting against New Zealand in the semi-final here at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

New Zealand pacers Trent Boult and Matt Henry made full use of the moisture on the pitch and with a bit of cloud cover when play resumed the next day, India's top order batsmen faced the music.
