INDW 1st Innings
All
74.5
W
Sophie Ecclestone to Kranti Gaud, out Bowled!! Timber! India are bowled out for 285! This one comes in with the arm from round the wicket, Kranti Gaud hangs back to keep it out but gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. Kranti Gaud b Sophie Ecclestone 1(3)
74.3
W
Sophie Ecclestone to Deepti Sharma, out Caught by Heather Knight!! Deepti departs after playing a good hand! A tossed up full delivery around off, Deepti tries to hit it over mid-wicket but doesn't get the necessary power and elevation behind the stroke. Knight stationed there makes no mistake. Deepti Sharma c Heather Knight b Sophie Ecclestone 57(87) [4s-7]
73.3
Mady Villiers to Kranti Gaud, 1 run, dropped! Floated full delivery outside off, Kranti Gaud goes for a drive with hard hands but gets a thick outside edge. Sciver-Brunt at slip takes her eyes off initially. She then tries to take it reverse-cup overhead but it bursts through her hands
73
W
Sophie Ecclestone to Sayali Satghare, out Lbw!! Sayali Satghare has been trapped in front but she decides to review. Looked quite adjacent. Was the arm delivery on a back of a length on middle, kept coming in with the round the wicket angle. Sayali was caught in the crease as she tried to work it across but seemed to have got beaten on the inside edge to get rapped on the back pad. Time for the replays. There's a clear gap between bat and ball. Ball-tracking comes into play and hitting is umpire's call. It would have clipped the leg-stump and that's good enough. Sayali Satghare lbw b Sophie Ecclestone 1(23)
67.5
W
Mady Villiers to Sneh Rana, out Lbw!! England review for LBW! Attempted sweep from Rana, the ball is way too full and sneaks through to hit low on the pad. She's in trouble here. And yes, three reds on ball-tracking which shows that it's crashing into leg stump. Second wicket for the Mady Villiers who continues to impress on debut. Sneh Rana lbw b Mady Villiers 13(36)
66.5
F
Sophie Ecclestone to Deepti Sharma, 1 run, works it wide of midwicket, sets off for a quick single and makes it with a dive! The Indian balcony stands and applauds a fine fifty!
63.3
4
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, Bouchier hasn't spotted this in the deep! Not sure if it would've mattered. Tossed up just outside off, Deepti reaches out and belts the sweep through square leg
61.4
4
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, oh wow, a big swipe across the line as Mady Villiers bowls it too full around off. Whacks it over midwicket!
61.3
4
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, again a superb sweep shot from Deepti! So good with that shot! Drifting down leg, down she goes on the back knee and nails it past short fine
59.2
4
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, so early to spot the line, it's drifting down leg and Deepti quickly gets low to sweep it past short fine
58.3
4
Lauren Filer to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, flashes hard over gully! Plenty of width from Filer, Deepti frees the arms and sends it over the top of the fielder
57
W
Lauren Filer to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Issy Wong!! Filer covers her mouth sheepishly, knows it wasn't a great delivery! Dug in on a short of length, finishes around the hip and Ghosh is cramped while going for the pull shot. Sends a thick top-edge to fine leg where Issy Wong takes a good catch diving forward. What a bonus for England. It was almost a short-arm jab from Ghosh, wasn't able to free the arms and couldn't get on top of the bounce either. Richa Ghosh c Issy Wong b Lauren Filer 13(12) [4s-2]
55.4
4
Mady Villiers to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, now a juicy full toss as she overcompensates in length. Ghosh isn't one to miss out. She gets forward and belts it through extra cover
55.3
4
Mady Villiers to Richa Ghosh, FOUR, slightly short from Mady Villiers, Ghosh goes back and muscles the pull shot through midwicket
52.2
4
Lauren Filer to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, down the leg-side, short ball and Deepti pulls it away fine. A loosener that's duly punished!
51.5
4
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, connects nicely with the sweep, races away through square leg
51.2
W
Mady Villiers to Harmanpreet Kaur, out Bowled!! That's an off-spinner's delight! Maiden Test wicket for Villiers on debut! She has completely bamboozled the Indian skipper with a beauty. A floated full delivery outside off, tempting Harmanpreet into a booming drive through covers and she obliges. The ball turns in sharply after landing and beats her on the inside edge. The ball goes through the bat-pad gap and crashes into the middle stump. Villiers will cherish this for a long time! Harmanpreet Kaur b Mady Villiers 58(121) [4s-7]
50.4
Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, 1 run, Harmanpreet works this one through mid-wicket
49.1
Mady Villiers to Deepti Sharma, no run, England lose another review! Drifting down leg, Deepti kneels down on one knee and tries to sweep but misses. She gets beaten on the under-edge it seems but Amy Jones takes it and she is confident that there's a nick and convinces her skipper to take the review to which she agrees. UltraEdge comes into play and there's clear daylight between bat and ball
45.5
4
Mady Villiers to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, shot! Slightly overpitched outside off, Harmanpreet reaches out with a nice stride and caresses it through covers. Sweeper cover moves across to her right but has no chance to stop it
44.5
W
Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, out Caught by Amy Jones!! Another soft dismissal for India! Mandhana could have left this one alone but she couldn't resist and pays the price for it. Credit has to be given to Issy Wong though as she has kept it consistently on a tight line and length and has moved the ball both ways and she has eventually got the reward. On a length well outside off from round the wicket, nips away slightly perhaps, Mandhana reaches out and tries to drive it square of the wicket but only manages to get a faint nick behind. Amy Jones who is standing up to the stumps takes a sharp catch. Mandhana falls 17 short of a well-deserved century. Smriti Mandhana c Amy Jones b Issy Wong 83(108) [4s-11 6s-1]
43.5
F
Mady Villiers to Harmanpreet Kaur, 1 run, fifty for Harmanpreet Kaur, her second fifty in Tests! She raises her bat and gets a good round of applause. Has been a patient and determined knock from the Indian skipper so far. Was a floated full delivery around off, Harmanpreet drove it through cover-point for a single
43.2
4
Mady Villiers to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, poor delivery and duly punished! Full and drifting down leg, Mandhana kneels down on one knee and sweeps it to the fine leg. The fielder is square. She hares across to her left but has no chance to prevent the boundary
41.3
4
Mady Villiers to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, Harmanpreet Kaur moves to 49! A dragdown from Villiers. Harmanpreet stands tall and pulls it with the spin over mid-wicket to pick up a boundary
40.1
4
Issy Wong to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, just wide of backward point! Full delivery outside off, swinging away, Harmanpreet reaches out and goes for a square drive but it flies off the outer half. Villiers dives to her left like a goalkeeper but it evades her
35.2
4
Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, tried this lofted shot off Ecclestone a couple of overs back, couldn't quite get hold of it on that occasion but this is much closer to the middle as she hammers it over mid-off. Nicely to the pitch of it after stepping out
32.1
Lauren Bell to Harmanpreet Kaur, 1 run, pitched up outside off, too full and driven wide of deep point. They settle for a single and there's a cheer as 150 comes up for India
31
4
Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, byes, FOUR, oh dear, an inswinger that's way too far down the leg-side, and the keeper can't get to it
30.4
4
Lauren Bell to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, after a good cluster of deliveries in the channel, Bell doles out a short, wide one and Harman cashes in. Rocks back and slaps it through point
29.1
Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, no run, down the leg-side, Mandhana looks to flick it away but misses. There's a big appeal for caught behind and England have gone for the review now! Keeper seemed to shake her head before they went for it. UltraEdge confirms it's off the pad, no bat involved
28.2
4
Lauren Bell to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, lovely timing from Harman! Not much wrong with the delivery, it's on a good length in the channel, but she gets forward, holds her shape, doesn't go too hard and punches it beautifully through the covers
23.2
4
Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, lovely stroke! A half-volley on off, Harmanpreet puts in a good stride forward and drives it beautifully through extra cover to get the desired result. Lovely flow of the bat and the timing was spot on
22.5
4
Lauren Filer to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR, well played! Short of a length delivery outside off, shaping in. Harmanpreet stands tall, watches it closely and delays the cut shot to get it past the left side of gully
20.3
4
Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, crunched! A short of length delivery seaming across Mandhana and there's room to play with. Mandhana stands tall and cuts it nicely through cover-point. The chase is on but the ball wins the race
19
W
Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, out Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal! A wicket against the run of play. On a driveable length outside off, swinging away. Rodrigues is lured into an expansive drive through covers but she has to reach out. In the process, she plays away from her body and she only manages to get a thick inside edge that crashes into middle. Rodrigues stands there in disbelief! That wasn't a wicket-taking delivery but England won't mind. Rodrigues was looking good but she has to take the long walk back now. Jemimah Rodrigues b Issy Wong 35(38) [4s-5]
18.1
Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, 2 runs, 100 up for India and it's met with a cheer from the Indians in the crowd! A back of a length delivery angling in, keeps a bit low, Rodrigues adjusts in her stance and works it nicely through backward square leg to pick up a couple
16.3
4
Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, shot! A back of a length delivery angling in from outside off, Rodrigues stays leg-side of it and cuts it hard past the left side of the diving gully fielder. She played it late and found the gap
16
F
Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, 2 runs, on the shorter side on leg-stump, Mandhana hangs back and helps it past leg slip. Fine leg moves across to her left to keep the batters down to a couple. That's the fifty for Mandhana! It has been a fluent knock from her so far. She has found the boundaries with ease - some looseners from the England bowlers has also helped her cause. A gentle raise of the bat from her as she soaks in all the applause
15.3
4
Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, Mandhana uses her feet, gets close to the pitch of it and drives it nicely past the right side of mid-on to pick up another boundary
12.5
4
Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, a gift and duly accepted! A wide full-toss. Rodrigues reaches out and slaps it uppishly through point to find the fence
12

10.5
4
Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, the lack of Test cricket on the calendar is showing in this bowling performance so far. Just struggling to hold a length. Low full toss on the pads, flicked nicely and it races away
10.1
4
Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, oh dear, new bowler into the attack but the looseners keep coming. Half-volley outside off and Rodrigues creams it throughthe covers
9.4
4
Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, now she errs on the shorter side and cuts it down the slope through point. India motoring at exactly six an over thanks to a lot of wayward bowling
9.3
4
Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, FOUR, floated up outside off, too full and Rodrigues slaps it through point. Got a really big stride forward to ensure she was right to the pitch
9.1
Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, 1 run, down the leg-side, full ball, and it's flicked behind square
7.4

Lauren Filer to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, short again, pulled again, and four again! Swivels across and gets it behind square, beating the fielder in the deep
7.3
4
Lauren Filer to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, another cracking pull shot from Mandhana - twice in successive overs now. Short of length, she gets on top of the bounce and smokes it through midwicket
7
W
Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, out Bowled!! This will make Bell feel so much better! Has been all over the place with the new ball, but now produces a ripper to get rid of Yastika. Switches back to over the wicket, it's an inswinger pitched up around middle, and Yastika looks to flick it through the on-side. But the ball then nips away off the seam, beating her comprehensively. Goes past the edge and crashes into off. Yastika Bhatia b Lauren Bell 12(17) [4s-2]
6.3
4
Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, as emphatic as it gets from Mandhana! Slightly short, she rocks back and nails the pull through midwicket. Bell taking a lot of punishment with the new ball

Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR, overpitched on off, inswinger, and it's crunched through the big gap at cover! Mandhana lining it up really nicely
3
4
Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, on the pads again, Yastika is nicely balanced on the crease this time, perhaps expecting it. She manages to flick it nicely behind square for four
2.5
Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, no run, appeal for LBW as an inswinger raps Yastika on the pad. England have gone for the review! Cracking delivery, hoops back in late, and Yastika's head falls over on the flick. Ball-tracking says it's only clipping leg stump, umpire's call
2.4
4
Lauren Bell to Yastika Bhatia, FOUR, in the blockhole outside off, Yastika jams down on it and squeezes it through past gully. Runs down to the boundary at deep third
1.2
W
Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Amy Jones!! Squared up in defence and gone! Shafali goes for a duck after getting into an awkward position in the crease. Early joy for England. Short of length at 115kph, nips back at Shafali who looks to defend on the back foot. But she's somehow squared up, despite the ball nipping back in. Opens the face at the last moment and nicks it through. Good diving catch to her right from Jones. Shafali Verma c Amy Jones b Lauren Filer 0(4)
