India had entered the ICC Champions Trophy on 119 ratings points and have moved to 121, thanks to victories over South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan. England have been hit by allegations of ball-tampering ahead of their semi-final, slated to be held here on Wednesday against South Africa. England topped Group A and will play South Africa in the last-four stage after Sri Lanka knocked holders Australia out of the tournament. 
England owed their competitive total of 287 for six to Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler who smashed 64 runs off the last three overs. 
Buttler's 47 not out off just 16 balls was pivotal in setting up England's 34-run win over NZ on Wednesday. 
Ian Bell was pleased to see England seamers Stuart Broad and Steven Finn back bowling in the nets ahead of third ODI against New Zealand.
