The match between Brazil and England will be held at the same time (5 pm) and on the same day, Fifa said in a release. The other semi-final between Mali and Spain will be held in Navi Mumbai from 8 pm . Sources in Guwahati said on conditions of anonymity that England refused to play there even after Brazil had agreed. The pitch was damaged beyond repairs after the first quarter final between Mali and Ghana on Saturday after two days of incessant rain. There were puddles of water on the pitch along the centre line during the quarter final match on Saturday.
