Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, fifty for Harmanpreet. She was slow to start but has caught up in the last few overs. Raises her bat and acknowledges the applause of the Indian supporters in the crowd. Fired full and outside off, she opens the bat face and slices it in front of square on the off-side. No sweeper and the ball runs away..

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, out Caught by Charlie Dean!! The partnership is broken. But more importantly it is a dot ball. The off-pace delivery and it does the trick for Bell. The length is fuller and Deepti does not spot the change of pace, she's through the loft early and the bottom hand even comes off, miscues it to mid-off and a simple catch for Dean. This might not be a bad thing for India as it brings Richa out to the middle. Deepti Sharma c Charlie Dean b Lauren Bell 32(24) [4s-3]

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, shot! Another slower ball but it is dragged halfway down, Deepti pulls it in front of square and splits two fielders in the deep perfectly
18.1
Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, where was Harmanpreet going? Slower ball angled in, Deepti clips it to deep square leg and she was never interested in the second. But Harmanpreet was halfway down when she saw Deepti not running, turns around and runs back, dives to make her ground. Luckily Amy Jones did not glove the ball cleanly and Harmanpreet gets away with it

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, that's excellent improvisation. Smith comes from round the wicket and drifts it across, Deepti shuffles and sits down, almost falls over while playing the sweep over short fine but she manages to middle the shot and the ball runs away

Danielle Gibson to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, good over for India - 12 runs. The 50+ stand also comes up. Fullish delivery, Harmanpreet is standing deep in the crease and that allows her to get under the length, thumps it straight back over Gibson and gives the deep fielder no chance

Danielle Gibson to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, that's a gimme and Deepti puts it away. Sprays the slower ball down leg, Deepti sits down and helps it over short fine. She generated ample power to clear Knight inside the ring

Charlie Dean to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, direct hit would have been interesting. Deepti knocks it towards extra cover and sets off. Gibson swoops down and has a shy at the non-striker's end. She misses and Deepti survives. There was a dive from Deepti but that would not have saved her

Lauren Bell to Jemimah Rodrigues, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! She was brought back exactly for this and Bell delivers. This is a massive wicket as Jemimah was the set and in-form batter for India. She departs with over 9 overs remaining. England are jubilant as they know the importance of this wicket. It is that dipping slower ball, Jemimah runs down the pitch and is deceived in flight, yorks herself and the ball sneaks under her bat before crashing into the stumps. Jemimah Rodrigues b Lauren Bell 29(19) [4s-4]

Lauren Bell to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, short of length delivery, angled into the body and Jemimah gets a bit rushed on the pull, gets a top-edge and the ball flies over short fine. Ecclestone can't chase it down and that brings up India's 100

Linsey Smith to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, this is poor from Smith. She stays over the wicket and brings up the off-side field - no one in the deep. Then feeds a full delivery outside off, Harmanpreet opens the bat face and squeezes the drive square of the wicket

Danielle Gibson to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, superb shot! Jemimah premeditated the scoop and showed her cards early. Gibson goes full and outside off, Jemimah adjusts quickly and reverse laps it over short third. The way she set herself allowed her to switch the shot at the last second. That is brilliant batting..

Danielle Gibson to Yastika Bhatia, out Yastika Bhatia Run Out!! Is Yastika 100% fit? Not the first time she has struggled while running between the wickets in this series. This time she drives it hard to the right of mid-off and calls for the single. It was definitely on but Yastika could not run at full speed. She tries her best but Ecclestone catches her short of the crease with an accurate throw. Yastika Bhatia run out (Sophie Ecclestone) 32(18) [4s-7]

Charlie Dean to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, three fours in the over. This flighted delivery is overpitched and Yastika smashes it straight back. She does not keep it down and beats Dean before she could even put her hand up. No chance for the diving long-off fielder as well
5.4

Charlie Dean to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, flighted delivery and drifting in, lands in the perfect spot for Yastika to play the lofted drive, she nails it over mid-on and picks up another boundary. She's dealing in boundaries at the moment..
5.3

Charlie Dean to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, darted down leg, Yastika loses her balance as she attempts the sweep, but she manages to get an under-edge and the ball runs away. Replays show that Yastika hit her bat against the boot and that made he lose balance
4.2

Sophie Ecclestone to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, shot! The key to the shot was the wrists. Yastika sits down to play the sweep but the ball gets a bit big on her, but she uses her wrists to place it in front of square and evade the deep mid-wicket fielder

Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, out Lbw!! That was plumb. Not sure why Smriti even had a chat with Yastika. She knew but still cost her side a review. Her woes against off-spin continues.. Dean brought herself on because of the two left-handers and has got the big wicket of Smriti. This is drifting in with the arm, Smriti shuffles across and sits down to play the sweep, misses and is struck right in-line with the stumps. No hesitation from the umpire and still the decision was challenged. India in trouble, having lost both openers inside the fourth over. Smriti Mandhana lbw b Charlie Dean 8(9) [4s-1]
3.1

Charlie Dean to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, Dean is welcomed with a smashing four. Drifting into leg, overpitched and Yastika swipes it hard over square leg. She crouches a bit to get under the length and absolutely nails the shot

Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, this time in front of square. Short and wide from Bell, Yastika loves it there, no half measures on the cut shot, goes hard and though aerial, it was in the gap
2.4

Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, short and slanted across, Yastika sees the width and throws her bat on the cut shot. Slashes it behind square and picks up a boundary to third man. Smith in the deep was quite square and had no chance of stopping that

Linsey Smith to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Charlie Dean!! Smith has the last say. England have the early breakthrough. Smith is delighted as she does a double fist pump and runs towards Dean. Once again Shafali moves away and tries to go over the off-side field, Smith does not offer her the room and the loft is sliced towards point. Dean runs back from backward point and takes a very good catch. Shafali Verma c Charlie Dean b Linsey Smith 11(6) [4s-2]

Linsey Smith to Shafali Verma, FOUR, smart batting. Smith spots Shafali back away and tries to follow her, but the length is short and does not quite cramp Shafali, the pull shot was on and it is struck in the air over backward square leg
1.2

Linsey Smith to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, just over Bell. Smriti shimmies down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over mid-on. She gets enough to clear the infield and the ball runs away
