  1. Ind 158-4

    Here comes Tuesday's player of the match, Amanjot Kaur.

    Wide-ish delivery and the India batter slashes the ball over point for four.

    England drop another dolly then take another absolute blinder.

    Where's the in between girls? That is a blinder from Charlie Dean. That changes everything, the power-hitting Richa Ghosh is gone.

    I'm stressed but this is fantastic.

    Charlie Dean punches the air - a crucial wicket for England.

    WICKET

    Ghosh c Dean b Wong (Ind 154-4)

    But that's an incredible catch from Charlie Dean!

    Richa Ghosh drops to her knee again and goes for a huge slog sweep - it looks like it's flying away for four... but Charlie Dean plucks the ball out of the sky diving for the ball having run round.

    The power-hitter Ghosh is gone, 18 from nine needed.

    Yet another drop for England.

    If this game is a tie, we will go to a super over.

  6. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a huge ball on the game. A huge drop.

    Someone like Richa Ghosh can end this game in a few balls.

  7. dropped catch

    Ghosh dropped on four

    Ind 152-3; 20 from 12 balls needed

    Oh no, Lauren Bell spills in the field again!

    Ghosh drops low and tries to turn Ecclestone's last ball through backward square.

    Lauren Bell is diving but drops the ball diving sideways, a massive blow for England.

    The India wicketkeeper takes a single and India have their 10 from the over.

  8. Ind 150-3

    Harmanpreet chips over the covers.... lands safe as two fielders chase, and India run a couple.

    She didn't get hold of that... but she gets hold of this one... lofting a four through a similar area to bring up the 150.

  9. Ind 144-3

    Sophie Ecclestone to bowl her last over - she's been impressive so far.

    Just two singles from her first two balls.

  10. Ind 142-3

    30 from 18 balls needed

    Appeal for Issy Wong from her penultimate delivery as she strikes the pad of Harmanpreet.

    Nothing given and India run a leg bye.

    Ten an over needed from here.

  11. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Filer’s average speed tonight has been 123kph (76 mph), which is the highest of her T20 career to date.

    100% of her deliveries have been above the 70mph high pace threshold.

    Her fastest recorded delivery tonight has been 128 kph (79.4mph).

    All five of her fastest deliveries in T20I cricket have been this evening.

  12. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is the quality of Harmanpreet Kaur. She won't be fazed by any of that.

    It is such small margins for bowlers. It's cruel.

  13. Ind 136-3

    36 from 24 balls needed

    Last ball for Lauren Filer, what can she do with it?

    Well, what can Harmanpreet do with it! She smacks the ball down the ground for four!

    Filer finishes with 2-30, and could make a case she deserved more.

  14. Ind 131-3

    Given out... but did that touch the glove?

    Lauren Filer sends down an aggressive short ball to new batter Richa Ghosh, who can't handle it as the ball flies towards her head.

    The ball hits something and flies to point... but the umpires are taking a look as the physios run on.

    ...yep, it's off the helmet, Richa Ghosh will stay out there.

  15. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Alice Capsey has probably gone from feeling that for a week - maybe a year - to breathing a sigh of relief.

    Both balls has show that Lauren Filer is too quick for both Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Mandhana c Ecclestone b Filer 56 (Ind 131-3)

    But Lauren Filer gets a wicket with her next delivery!

    No mistake from Sophie Ecclestone, she takes the catch as Smriti Mandhana's shot loops up to mid-on.

    The dangerous opener is gone and Filer is sending down rockets here.

  17. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Alice Capsey has dropped the simplest of catches. That is a huge moment.

    Nobody means to drop a catch. I'm gutted for England.

  18. dropped catch

    Harmanpreet dropped on one

    Oh, that's a very simple catching chance!

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur chops towards mid-wicket where Alice Capsey runs in, takes the catch and holds for a split-second... and then sees the ball spill out of her hand.

  19. Ind 130-2

    42 from 30 balls needed

    Decent pick-up from Smriti Mandhana, lofting Charlie Dean's ball over square leg for four.

    Dean is finished for the day with figures of 0-37.

  20. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Great energy and pace from Filer - she reached 78mph with her third ball. Fantastic over.

    England are fighting really hard on what is a very flat track. India should win from here but there is no lack of fight.

    Lauren Filer is giving this absolutely everything.
