  1. Eng 65-4

    Alice Capsey dashes a sharp two and narrowly avoids being run out.

    It's excellent running and excellent intent, but did she need to do that so early in her innings? Heart in mouth moment in the England dressing room.

  2. Eng 63-4

    Target 211

    The target is 211, England are four wickets down, the required rate is above 11... it's not looking good.

    Can Alice Capsey support Nat Sciver-Brunt?

    Radha Yadav is very much back and bowling well.

    The honeymoon period is very much over for Nat Sciver-Brunt and Charlotte Edwards...

    WICKET

    Jones st Ghosh b Yadav 1 (Eng 62-4)

    I can't keep up with all of these wickets!

    Amy Jones is the latest player to trudge back to the dressing room. She's been stumped by Richa Ghosh after being beaten all ends up by a turning delivery from Radha Yadav. The bowler roars with delight.

    It's hard to see a way back for England.

    India continue to celebrate with another wicket from Yadav

  6. Radha Yadav will bowl the first over after the powerplay. Nat Sciver-Brunt is on strike, with Amy Jones the new batter.

    England need 153 runs off 84 balls.

  7. Katherine Sciver-Brunt

    Tammy [Beaumont] has looked so nervous to me. Instead of going straight, she went across her line there.

    Unfortunately she hasn't had the opportunity to accelerate forward.

    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Tammy Beaumont got in a right old tangle there!

    WICKET

    Beaumont b Sharma 10 (Eng 58-3)

    Whoops. A wicket to end the powerplay and it's Tammy Beaumont who departs.

    She tries to come down to Deepti Sharma, swings across the line, and can only bow her head as the ball splats into the stumps and sends the bails flying.

    After six overs, England are 58-3. They're ahead of India at the same stage (47-0) but the crucial difference is the wickets column.

    'Beaumont got in a right old tangle there!'

    Nat Sciver-Brunt plays a shotGetty Images

    That is crunched down the ground. Sciver-Brunt is making the most of the powerplay and England look to be up with the run-rate.

  11. Eng 56-2

    Back-to-back boundaries from Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    The first is carved through point, the second is chipped up and over long-off.

    Serene batting.

  12. How's stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Plenty of turn from debutant Shree Charani in her first over in comparison to England's spinners. She averaged 2.4° of turn, well above Ecclestone (1.7°), Capsey (1.2°) and Smith (0.8°).

  13. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Sport commentary

    That is exactly where Tammy [Beaumont] should be hitting it. She mis-timed that slightly but luckily she had enough on it to get over the fielder.

  14. Eng 48-2

    Target 211

    Oooooh a little bit of a lifeline for Tammy Beaumont, who just clears the jumping fielder at mid-on. I think Smriti Mandhana got her fingertips to that.

    England cannot afford to lose another wicket in the powerplay.

  15. Eng 44-2

    Good running from the England pair.

    Shree Charani snatches the ball away from the rope to deny Nat Sciver-Brunt consecutive fours but the batters hustle through for three.

    Seven off the first two balls of the over.

  16. Eng 37-2

    Target 211

    Shree Charani concedes just two singles from her first five deliveries but England finish the over with a boundary, Tammy Beaumont cutting the ball into the offside for four.

    I like the look of Shree Charani, she has good pace. Nat [Sciver-Brunt] looks like she is onto her length better than Beaumont at the moment.

  18. A bowling change for the fourth over as Shree Charani, on her T20I debut, is introduced for the first time.

  20. Eng 31-2

    Target 211

    Another four from Nat Sciver-Brunt to finish the over. She's raced to 20 off nine balls and England knock another 14 runs off the target.

    Sciver-Brunt is looking unfazed by the early wickets.
