'Brilliant innings' - Mandhana makes superb century off 51 balls
Sam Drury
BBC Sport cricket writer at Trent Bridge
Stunning from Smriti Mandhana.
The India fans inside Trent Bridge have loved every minute of it and even the most staunch England supporter couldn't help but admire the quality of this knock.
It's been out of this world.

Harleen Deol was trying to split the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on. She timed it nicely but Arlott managed to take an easy catch.
Harleen Deol has done the damage though.

A bit of an ugly swat across the line by Harleen Deol off Lauren Bell and she perishes, caught in the deep by Emily Arlott.

Exceptional innings from an exceptional player. She has set the tone for this series for India.

Image source, ReutersThere it is. The first time Smriti Mandhana has reached three figures in T20Is, what a moment. A brilliant innings.
Smriti Mandhana reaches her maiden T20I century in style, whacking Lauren Bell for four straight down the ground. She reaches three figures off 51 balls.
What. A. Knock.

India have feasted on the low-hanging fruit from England's attack.

This is Smriti Mandhana's highest score in T20Is, going past her previous best of 87 against Ireland during the 2023 T20 World Cup.

England lose games when they are under pressure, it has been a problem for a number of years.
It is clearly a great pitch to bat on but one wicket could change it.
Smriti Mandhana is unbeaten on 90 now off 47 balls. Harleen Deoli is 43 not out off 22 balls.

Indian batters sweeping and coming down the pitch in this innings:
India have not taken their foot off the pedal here and an absolute masterclass from Smriti Mandhana.
The India stand-in skipper heaves Lauren Filer for four through square leg and then thrashes the England quick through the covers for back-to-back boundaries.
England look on their last legs, and we have just over five overs left here.

A reminder that England started the game at 79%.

Sophie Ecclestone has a huge array of different balls going on here. The plan isn't that clear to me.
It's making me wonder where her head is at, at the moment. I would say that's her done for the day.
A bit more like it from Sophie Ecclestone from her first three deliveries as she restricts India's batters to three singles. Harleen Deol sweeps her fourth delivery for four, then Smriti Mandhana finishes the cover with a shot inside out through cover.
12 runs off Ecclestone's over.
Sophie Ecclestone back for her second over. She'll hope it isn't as expensive as the 19 off her first.

For England, the spinners have got to bowl at the stumps. The seamers are struggling and they need to introduce their slower balls and bouncers in a good fashion.
At the moment, this is continuing to help India feel invincible.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge partially amends for that earlier drop, to a degree.
Wyatt-Hodge makes up good ground on the boundary and slaps the ball back to prevent a four after Smriti Mandhana whipped it over square leg.
A couple of balls later and Harleen Deol thumps Arlott for four through the covers.
Mandhana 'walloped' the ball for six
Smriti Mandhana is purring at the moment.
