No wickets so far from England, but iffy umpiring decisions aside this is probably the closest they have come.

Smriti Mandhana finishes the over with a powerful whip across the line for four against Linsey Smith.

India have started well here.

At the moment Linsey Smith is bowling too far outside the off-stump and her length is allowing Smriti Mandhana to tuck it away.

Smriti Mandhana has the measure of Linsey Smith so far.

First ball Smith offers too much width and Mandhana thrashes it through point.

Then Mandhana goes deep in her crease and whips it to the fence.

Shafali Verma is using her feet a lot to Lauren Filer. There is no fear of England here.

Good plans from England to Shafali Verma. Lauren Filer is accurate outside off stump, leaving Verma with a punch through point but little else.

Verma responds by dancing down the pitch and biffs Filer's final delivery through the covers for four.

Shafali Verma's weakness is that short ball, she is always going to take it on but she just got trapped.

A poor decision from Jacqueline Williams.

Shafali Verma knew it had come off the helmet, and she's proved correct.

The technology shows no bat and the ball had indeed brushed the India opener's lid.

Shafali Verma didn't look convinced there. She is tapping her helmet as if to say that's what it came off.

Shafali Verma gets a bumper from Lauren Filer and plays a kind of fended hook shot.

Amy Jones claims the catch.

It's given out on field. England celebrate but Verma immediately reviews.

Trent Bridge is a picture today. Decent crowd in as well, with most wisely choosing to hunt out the shade in the Smith Cooper Stand.

I'm not really sure what happened there. I think Capsey was distracted by Ecclestone if I'm honest.

Deary me. Alice Capsey backpedals with Sophie Ecclestone in close attendance after Smriti Mandhana top edges one into the air.

Capsey loses sight of the ball over head while Ecclestone does not make up sufficient ground.

It plops safely into the turf.

Smriti Mandhana is one of those players where if you go too full, she will punish you. You want to go back of the length to her because she very rarely misses.

Smriti Mandhana oozing class at the moment.

A full delivery from Emily Arlott and Mandhana transfers her weight to the back four and then crunches it down the ground for four.

Next ball Arlott is too short and Mandhana cuts the ball up and over gully for back-to-back boundaries.

Shafali Verma drills Lauren Bell's final delivery as straight as a die, but it crashes into the stumps at the non-striker's end rather than racing away for four.

We were expecting the outfield to be quick and that's exactly what it is. A lovely shot from Smriti Mandhana and a great start for India.

Next ball and the left-handed Smriti Mandhana punches Lauren Bell down the ground for four.

That's a welcome back to international cricket if ever I saw one...

A few nerves from Sophie Ecclestone, perhaps?

Shafali Verma nudges a drive down the ground to Ecclestone at mid-off and she fumbles which allows the India opener to get off the mark.
