  1. Eng 163-4

    England need five runs from four balls

    Paige Scholfield takes a single into the off-side.

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's also a horrific bit of cricket. Tammy Beaumont should be frustrated not to see this game home.

  3. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What an extraordinary dismissal! What a funny way to start this final over.

    When you need runs, funny things happen.

    WICKET

    Beaumont b Reddy 30 (Eng 162-4)

    Tammy Beaumont has had her stumps rearranged by a full toss.

    England need six runs off five balls.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    These two will want to finish this in the first three balls.

  6. Eng 162-3

    England need six runs off six balls

    We're going down to the wire.

    England need six runs off the final over.

    Arundhati Reddy will bowl the 20th over.

  7. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Take it to the last over. Cricket is a funny game.

  8. Eng 159-3

    England need nine runs off 10 balls

    Boom. Tammy Beaumont slams the ball through the covers for four.

    The required rate is under a run-a-ball.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I am speechless! That was a really, really horrific bit of cricket.

  10. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is a horror show! That is as bad as anything we have seen whole series!

  11. dropped catch

    Amy Jones dropped on 7

    Eng 154-3

    Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

    Amy Jones tries a ramp of her own and chips up a routine catch to Shree Charani at short third... but she puts it down. Deary me.

    England need 14 runs off 12 balls.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's really good from Tammy Beaumont. She is just manipulating the field and as the captain of this England side, she is doing it herself.

  13. Eng 150-3

    England need 18 runs off 16 balls

    Oh that is lovely. Tammy Beaumont plays a cute reverse sweep and picks up a much-needed boundary.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's an over that India needed. They are building the pressure a little bit.

  15. How's stat?!

    Jem Green
    CricViz analyst

    Amy Jones has the best T20I average at Edgbaston (47.75) of any of the current England squad at any ground in England. (minimum five innings)

  16. Eng 145-3

    England need 23 runs from 18 balls

    A much better over from Shree Charani, conceding five singles.

  17. Eng 140-3

    England need 28 runs off 24 balls

    Amy Jones is immediately off the mark with a single.

    England need 28 runs off 24 balls with seven wickets in hand. Surely there are no nerves here?

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Maia Bouchier will be thinking how on earth has she picked out Smriti Mandhana in the mid-wicket region.

    Deepti Sharma has given India a sniff.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Bouchier c Mandhana b Sharma 16 (Eng 139-2)

    Deepti Sharma breaks the partnership.

    Maia Bouchier smacks the ball straight to Smriti Mandhana at shortish mid-wicket and the India opener clings on with two hands.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is so much better from England. We were asking for someone to step up in the absence of Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight and it has happened today.
