    A lot of rain fell in a short space of time, which is my worry.

  3. India players on the balcony as rain suspends plaReuters

    It really is raining quite heavily at Lord's now. Gulp.

    The cut-off is 19:18. If we are not back on by that time this one will go down as a no result.

    Some of India's players are smirking on the balcony in the away dressing room.

  4. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Only 18.4 overs bowled, so at the moment we have not got a game.

    'It's chaos!' - play stopped by heavy rainfall

    Umbrellas are going up for a reason. It's raining and the covers are coming on.

    Amy Jones helps England pass the 100-mark by helping a short ball from Kranti Goud on its way down to fine leg for four.

    Umbrellas are going up at Lord's...

    Former England batter on Test Match Special

    Nat Sciver-Brunt shuffling down and giving herself room to go over the top.

    She makes some of these difficult shots look easy.

  8. Eng 97-1

    India spinner Shree Charani grips the ball tightly with her left hand and rubs her tongue against her lip before bowling.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt skips down the pitch to the Charani's final ball of the over and biffs it over the top for four.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on Test Match Special

    We haven't seen too many of these hard flat sweeps. That was so good. Nat Sciver-Brunt gets out low and in front. Sciver-Brunt gets that connection with the power that not many in the game possess.

  10. Eng 90-1

    Nicely played by Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    She reverse sweeps a delivery from Deepti Sharma heading down leg into the gap at third.

    It slows up on the Lord's baize but the England captain and Amy Jones manage to run three.

    A couple of balls later and Sciver-Brunt sweeps in a more orthodox fashion and pummels it to the fence for four.

    A profitable over for England.

    England are miles ahead, but one or two wickets can get a wobble going.

    Amy Jones twizzles her bat round in her hand before retaking her guard after the drinks break.

    Both Jones and Nat Sciver-Brunt make clean contact with drives down the ground but some good fielding from India deny them.

    Thee singles off the over.

    India call for a huddle as they try and work out how they can force some quick wickets out of England.

    Amy Jones has started to look comfortable after a tight spell from India's spinners.

  16. England 78-1 at drinks

    England need 66 runs at 4.71 runs per over. They are currently going at 5.20 per over.

    Some dark clouds lingering over Lord's.

  17. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on Test Match Special

    It feels like India are going through the motions and they're not being very proactive.

  18. Eng 78-1

    Three dots to start Deepti Sharma' third over before Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones pick up a single apiece. England content to sit and wait for the bad ball.

  19. Thanks, Adwaidh.

    England in cruise control at the moment.

  20. With that, it's time for me to take a break.

    But Timothy Abraham is back to take you to the end of this one-dayer.

    Over to you, Tim.
