  1. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I haven't seen too much of Shafali Verma bowling!

  2. Eng 86-0

    Target 168

    Radha Yadav is doing her best to hold up an end. She concedes five runs and has figures of 0-10 from her two overs.

    And who's this? Shafali Verma is coming on to bowl?!

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

    What a consistent performer Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been up and down the order over the years!

  4. 50 runs

    Fifty for Wyatt-Hodge

    Eng 84-0

    Wyatt-Hodge makes half-century on 300th international appearance

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge has a half-century for the second time in three matches.

    It's been an up and down series for the opener (0, 1, 66, 5, 50*) but today she's been in excellent touch and is really making India pay for dropping her on five.

  5. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England are flying quite nicely here and Danni Wyatt-Hodge is enjoying herself in the middle.

    The ease at which they are doing this at the moment makes you think that the gap between the two sides can be smaller.

  6. Eng 81-0

    Target 168

    Sophia Dunkley has Arundhati Reddy's number. She picked up a six and a four in her first over and starts her second with another four, this one through square leg.

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge also joins in on the fun, sweeping (again) through fine leg. A crisp drive through the covers brings another boundary. Oh, and here comes another through mid-wicket.

    19 off the over. The required rate has dipped below 7.5. England are flying.

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

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur will be desperate to see a breakthrough here because England at the moment are well set.

  8. Eng 62-0

    Target 168

    A quieter over. Five singles from it.

    England's players are looking pretty relaxed on the balcony/dugout/viewing area. No one is scrabbling around for their pads.

  9. Radha Yadav will bowl the first over after the powerplay.

  10. Eng 57-0

    England need 111 runs from 84 balls

    Deepti Sharma returns for the final over of the powerplay.

    Sophia Dunkley picks off a boundary and England chip another eight runs off their 168 target.

    At the end of the powerplay, England are 57-0. India were 47-2 at the same stage.

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

    It's a prefect start for England. They needed a good one and they have had one.

    England have a weakness against spin but the India spinners haven't quite executed their plan so far today.

  12. Eng 49-0

    Target 168

    Wyatt-Hodge hits Charani for three fours in one over

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge is sweeping and scoring, sweeping and scoring. Two fours through the square leg region.

    And she picks up another for good measure, this time finding a gap in the off-side.

    13 runs off the over, all from the bat of Wyatt-Hodge (29 off 19).

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

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge is trying to manipulate the field and taking advantage of the powerplay.

    You can see India's brains trust all coming together to have a chat. They will be thinking if they should be changing something.

  14. Eng 40-0

    Target 168

    Harmanpreet Kaur is shuffling her pack in the powerplay.

    She turns to Shree Charani, who is immediately swept for four by Danni Wyatt-Hodge. A fielder inside the ring did put in a dive but it was in vain.

  15. How's stat?!

    Jem Green
    CricViz analyst

    Reddy has found more swing in the powerplay than any other seamer in this series, with an average of 1.8º lateral movement through the air.

  16. Eng 36-0

    Target 168

    Arundhati Reddy conceded just one run off her first three balls.

    Sophia Dunkley took the next three for 6, 4, and 2. In a flash, she has 17 (10).

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

    That's what you can do against Arundhati Reddy. You know she is going to bowl full and if you are brave enough to take the game on, you will get your reward.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 30-0

    Target 168

    'Her eyes lit up!' - Dunkley hits slower ball over long on for six

    Boom. Sophia Dunkley dispatches Arundhati Reddy over mid-on for England's first six of the day.

  19. Eng 23-0

    Target 168

    A few interested shouts from India's fielders as Danni Wyatt-Hodge appears to be struck on the pad.

    Bowler Arundhati Reddy isn't interested, quickly turning away. There was an inside edge, I think.

  20. Eng 23-0

    Target 168

    England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge strikes the ball for four runsPA Media

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge collects her third boundary of the innings, muscling the ball through mid-wicket for four.

    Kranti Goud's second over yields six runs.

    A bowling change for India, with Arundhati Reddy replacing Deepti Sharma.
