  1. Ind 76-0

    No second over for Sophie Ecclestone as Nat Sciver-Brunt whips her out of the attack after a chastening six deliveries for the England left-arm spinner.

    Emily Arlott returns and keeps it tight to start with.

    The 19 that Sophie Ecclestone conceded in her first over is in the most she's conceded in from an over in a T20I.

    Her highest in all T20s is 21, bowling the 20th over in the WPL.

  3. Ind 75-0

    England are under the pump here a bit.

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

    A fabulous fifty for Smriti Mandhana. She loves batting in these conditions and India are dominating in the sunshine.

  5. 50 runs

    Fifty for Mandhana

    More spin in the form of Alice Capsey this time.

    It's meat and drink to Smriti Mandhana as she picks up two boundaries - chipped over extra cover and then cut behind square - to reach her half-century off 27 balls.

    India's Smriti Mandhana hits a sixReuters

    Most sixes off a bowler in all T20s:

    • 12 - Sophie Devine off Hayley Matthews
    • 12 - Sophie Devine off Ash Garnder
    • 10 - Smriti Mandhana off Sophie Ecclestone

    This is really putting pressure on Ecclestone. She is marching off looking far less than gruntled.

  8. Sam Drury
    BBC Sport cricket writer at Trent Bridge

    Probably not how Sophie Ecclestone envisaged her first over back...

    But Smriti Mandhana has been imperious so far.

  9. Ind 66-0

    Shafali Verma joins the party as Sophie Ecclestone is given more punishment.

    The India opener biffs Ecclestone though extra cover for four.

    Ecclestone over costs 19...

  10. 6 runs

    Ind 59-0

    And another!

    Smriti Mandhana repeats the trick as she goes down on one knee and pummels Sophie Ecclestone into the stands with another slog sweep for another six.

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's not the start you want. It was too full from Ecclestone and Smriti Mandhana backed herself to whack it.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 53-0

    Not the start Sophie Ecclestone would have wanted as the left-handed Smriti Mandhana decides to go on the offensive and heave the England left-arm spinner with a slog sweep over the ropes for India's first six of the innings.

    Mandhana hits Ecclestone for two sixes in first over on England return

  13. Right, it's time for Sophie Ecclestone.

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Last two overs of the powerplay I am giving to England. They have managed to drag things back and quieten things down slightly.

  15. Ind 47-0

    There's a strong-ish breeze blowing across the ground at Trent Bridge. It's hardly the Freemantle Doctor or the Mistral but perhaps it's affecting things on the field to some degree.

    Lauren Bell abandons her run during one delivery in her second over after a particular gust.

    A tight over from Bell to finish the powerplay with five, and no boundaries, taken off it.

    India's Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma in actionReuters

    Playing against India is a different game. They put pressure on you. Already we have had a more exciting game than any of the other series.

  17. Ind 42-0

    Lauren Filer managed to laugh that one off. England have looked a little rusty here.

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

    That one just slipped out I reckon, but at least Lauren Filer is trying something different.

  19. Ind 42-0

    Lauren Filer will not want to see this again, you would imagine.

    Filer attempts a back-of-the-hand slower ball which ends up as a kind of floated beamer.

    Smriti Mandhana attempts to swat it like a fly, but cannot make contact. No ball.

    Charlie Dean was a surprise omission from England's XI today, especially when you consider Smriti Mandhana's record against off-spin in the powerplay.

    Since the start of 2023 she's been dismissed 14 dismissals by off spin in the powerplay, averaging 21 while striking at 102.
