  1. Eng 26-3

    India pacer Arundhati Reddy pitches one full and wide and Tammy Beaumont says thank you very much and smears it through extra cover.

    England also rotated the strike well during that over, taking three singles.

  2. Eng 19-3

    Amy Jones joins Tammy Beaumont in the middle.

    This duo must build a partnership here if England are to have any chance of chasing this down.

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

    That has just beat Nat Sciver-Brunt for pace, it is the skiddy nature of Amanjot Kaur.

  4. wicket

    WICKET

    Sciver-Brunt c Harmanpreet b Amanjot 13 (Eng 17-3)

    The England captain departs!

    Amanjot Kaur, who was brilliant with the bat, strikes with the ball too.

    She heaves one but mistimes it completely and it's another catch for Harmanpreet Kaur, who made to make some ground from mid-on to get to that.

    'The England captain goes!' - Sciver-Brunt caught for 13

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

    That is a brilliant shot. You don't usually feel like you're going to sweep it past mid-on but she smothers the ball and gets so much power on it.

  6. Eng 16-2

    Shree Charani, who recorded figures of 4-12 on her T20I debut on Saturday, is into the attack.

    But it's not the best of overs to get things under way for the left-arm spinner today.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt sends her to the boundary three times during the over.

  7. Eng 4-2

    Tammy Beaumont is the new batter in for England.

    She opens her account with a single to mid-on. That is one of the two runs coming off Deepti Sharma's first over.

  8. Melissa Story
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That is the shot and dismissal of a player battling with the mental side of the game.

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

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge has tried to be proactive by using her feet but she's really struggling against spin in the powerplay.

    Charlotte Edwards looks fuming.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Wyatt-Hodge c Harmanpreet b Deepti 1 (Eng 2-2)

    Danni Wyatt-Hodge follows Sophia Dunkley back to the dugout.

    The England opener steps out but hits it straight into the grateful hands of India captain Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-off.

    A very soft dismissal!

    England lose two wickets in two balls to fall to 2-2

  11. Melissa Story
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That is the pressure of the dot balls.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Dunkley run out Ghosh 1 (Eng 2-1)

    The replays show the England batter is out by a long distance.

    Sophia Dunkley walks back and England's chase has not began well at all.

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

    There was not a run there. Sophia Dunkley looks distraught, but she had a bit of brain fade there.

  14. Umpire review

    Eng 2-0

    England are in trouble here.

    Sophia Dunkley plays it straight to the cover and sets off for a single but Danni Wyatt-Hodge has turned her back on her opening partner.

    I think she is gone here!

  15. Eng 2-0

    Arundhati Reddy begin well here.

    And there is a shout for lbw off just her second delivery to Danni Wyatt-Hodge but the umpire does not think so.

  16. How's stat?!

    England have struggled chasing in 2025, with just two victories from their six field-first matches in 2025.

    2024 was far better for them, winning 88% of their chasing matches.

  17. England openers Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt-Hodge are out in the middle.

    And Arundhati Reddy has the ball in hand.

    Let's see how England will respond here.

  18. Smriti Mandhana, centurion on Saturday, failed to fire either but India were helped to a score of 181-4 by half centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur.

    Here's how the latter reached her fifty in style.

    Amanjot Kaur reaches her first international T20 half-century with a boundary

  19. Verma out for 3 after getting caught by Jones off the bowling of Filer

    It all began so well for England when Lauren Filer dismissed India opener Shafali Verma in the second over.

  20. Things have flipped since the halfway stage of the India innings.

    At that stage WinViz gave England a 78% chance of victory, now it's India at that mark.
