  1. 50 runs

    50 for Beaumont

    Eng 81-3

    Tammy Beaumont takes a single to mid-wicket to bring up her half-century.

    It's a brilliant innings that has kept England in the game.

  2. Eng 80-3

    Shree Charani back into the attack.

    And Tammy Beaumont almost instantly puts the India bowler under pressure buy sending her to the boundary with a late cut.

  3. Well, WinViz has improved ever so slightly for England but India remain huge favourites as drinks are taken here.

    Too short, allowing Tammy Beaumont to rock back in her crease and pick that gap. Rodrigues is a gun in the field, but that was a little too good even for her.

  5. Eng 76-3

    Not very disciplined bowling from Sneh Rana, who concedes three boundaries in a row.

    Tammy Beaumont sends a half-volley from the off-spinner over point before pulling twice for the same result.

    Is there some hope for England after all?

  6. Ffion Wynne

    Really confident shot from Tammy Beaumont, reading the pace of the ball early and picking a smart gap. It's putting a bit of pressure back on the bowler, because until then that had been a really tidy over from Amanjot Kaur, despite having a sore thumb to deal with.

  7. Eng 60-3

    Tammy Beaumont adds another boundary to her innings - this time whipping Amanjot Kaur over mid-off.

    She then moves on to 30 with a single before Amy Jones pulls the final delivery towards deep square, where Smriti Mandhana does well to stop a four but can't.

    She's probably stopped a four rather than taking a catch there - it would have been a sensational catch.

  9. dropped catch

    Beaumont dropped on 24

    Eng 48-3

    Amanjot Kaur back into the attack and she's in some pain here.

    Tammy Beaumont smashes her first delivery straight back at her. Amanjot throws her hand at it and hurts herself. Tough chance but it has to go down as a drop.

    That's one for India's physio to have a look at.

    BBC Sport cricket writer in Bristol on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    India's plan for England is so clear. Take all the pace off - they know England's record against spin, by now everyone knows England's record against spin, and they haven't had to deviate from that plan.

  11. Eng 48-3

    Harmanpreet Kaur calls on Sneh Rana's off spin now.

    It's a tight over from the bowler, who only concedes a single off it.

    And Amy Jones almost drags the final ball onto her stumps, but she lives to fight another day.

    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England will know themselves they need to perform better against the better sides and in pressure situations in World Cups, having not won a trophy since 2017. England fans want series wins and trophies, but you have to patient with a new captain and a new coach.

  13. Eng 47-3

    England add three more from the final four balls of Radha Yadav's over.

    A hint of a partnership blossoming here for the hosts.

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

    Six runs and that could just shift the momentum.

  15. 6 runs

    Eng 44-3

    And the free-hit is dispatched for a six by Tammy Beaumont - the first of England's innings.

  16. Eng 38-3

    Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav now takes the ball.

    And Tammy Beaumont walks down the wicket and sends her to the boundary.

    To make matters worse, the Indian bowler has overstepped and it's a free-hit for England.

  17. They say you can prove anything with stats, well this seems to prove England are in more than a spot of bother...

    This is the 17th time England have lost three or more wickets in a powerplay, when chasing in a T20I match.

    They do, however, have a remarkable record when in this situation, rallying to win nine of the previous 16 matches where this has occurred.

  19. Eng 32-3

    Off-spinner Deepti Sharma bowls the final over of the powerplay.

    England do not get a boundary but take six singles off it.

  20. Tash Farrant
    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Nice shot from Beaumont, over-ptiched from Reddy and Tammy got to it before the ball reached the block-hole.
