  1. Eng 76-1

    Need 68 from 90 balls

    Amy Jones punches Arundhati Reddy, returning after a break, straight down the ground and runs three from the second ball of the over.

    Reddy then concedes just one more from the over.

    Perfect placement from Amy Jones. Powerfully struck. The three fielders are out on the leg-side, so it was a good option from the opener.

  3. Eng 72-1

    Need 72 from 96 balls

    It's a bit shortish from Sneh Rana with her fourth ball of the over and Amy Jones punishes her by hitting another boundary - through the cover this time.

    England reach 72 and need another 72 to win.

    But there is the threat of rain looming.

    Tammy Beaumont has been dismissed four times reverse sweeping in ODI cricket - the most for any batter.

    Her opening partner Amy Jones (three dismissals) is second on the list, averaging just eight with the stroke in her ODI career - thankfully she's yet to play a reverse sweep in ODIs this year.

  5. Eng 64-1

    Need 80 from 102 balls

    Shree Charani concedes only three runs from the first five balls.

    But Amy Jones releases some pressure off England as she chips Shree Charani over mid-off for a much-needed boundary.

  6. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Tammy Beaumont made 34 today. She reclaims her place among the top 10 scorers in women's ODIs.

  7. Eng 57-1

    Target 144

    Nat Sciver-Brunt gets off the mark straightaway, flicking towards fine leg and running a single.

    Three runs and a wicket coming from Sneh Rana's over.

    Smart bowling from Sneh Rana. The spinners had started to build some of that pressure. England were forcing the rate and trying to get a couple of more boundaries away.

    WICKET

    Beaumont lbw b Rana 34 (Eng 54-1)

    Rana dismisses Beaumont lbw for 34 after 'limp' reverse sweep attempt

    Tammy Beaumont departs.

    It would have gone on to hit the leg stump.

    A setback for England which brings their captain Nat Sciver-Brunt to the middle.

  10. England review

    Eng 54-0

    Sneh Rana seems to have found the breakthrough.

    The pressure was building and Tammy Beaumont goes for the reverse sweep but misses and it strikes on her pad.

    But the England opener will review.

  11. Ffion Wynne

    England have slowed down the run rate a bit, but they got such a fast start that they're comfortably ahead of the rate.

  12. Eng 54-0

    Target 144

    Another tight over from India.

    England's run rate has dropped to 5.40 now but crucially, they are yet to lose a wicket.

  13. Eng 51-0

    Target 144

    England bring up their 50 as Tammy Beaumont takes the aerial route.

    But it is cut off at the boundary by India fielder. They will only get two.

  14. Ffion Wynne

    It feels gloomy. It feels something is creeping over.

  15. Eng 49-0

    Target 144

    Three dot balls to end the over from Deepti Sharma.

  16. Eng 49-0

    Target 144

    Amy Jones skews a shot off Deepti Sharma's bowling while going for the sweep.

    But it falls safely between three Indian fielders.

    The Lord's is sporting a gloomy look now, with clouds hovering.

  17. Eng 46-0

    Target 144

    Only three runs conceded by Shree Charani, as spinners are doing a good job for India.

    Tammy Beaumont looks a little frustrated, having not scored a boundary for four overs now after her rapid start.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Great shot by Amy Jones. Jones takes the opportunity and India now push one of their fielders back.

  19. Eng 43-0

    Target 144

    Amy Jones has been quiet compared to her batting partner.

    But she finds her second boundary of the innings, hitting Deepti Sharma down the ground.

    England get six runs from the over

  20. It's a strong start to the chase from England.

    And WinViz has them comfortably ahead after six overs in this 29-over game, with the hosts having an 85% chance of victory today.
