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

    Kranti Goud is a good bowler. However, she sprays it a little bit. She will get the ball to move off the slope away from the right hander.

    Well adapted by Tammy Beaumont. Again, when Goud is bowling, she gets it wide on the off stump and with the covers up it was always going down the slope.

  2. Eng 12-0

    Kranti Goud has the ball from the other end for India.

    Tammy Beaumont flicks Gaud's second ball off her pads and away to the boundary to open her account.

    She then drives a juicy half volley through cover for back-to-back fours.

  3. Eng 4-0

    India do not have many runs to play with here and Arundhati Reddy starts with five dot balls.

    But the final one of the first over is a little wide on the off and Amy Jones drives it through point for the first boundary of England's chase.

  4. Eng 0-0

    India pacer Arundhati Reddy gets us going again.

    And she strikes the pad of England opener Amy Jones straightaway. There is a half-hearted appeal but it's going down the leg.

  5. Thanks, Tim.

    An exciting chase coming up for England, who will level this series at 1-1, if they are successful at it. They need 144 in 29 overs.

  6. Right, I'm going to grab a quick cup of tea and leave you in the capable hands of Adwaidh Rajan, who will take you through the start of England's chase.

  7. 'A good challenge for us'

    India in 'deep trouble' as Rodrigues caught & bowled by Dean for three

    England off-spinner Charlie Dean: "We bowled really well. It's a real good team effort out there today. There was a bit of a turn and it was a little slow. So, it will be interesting to see how India's spinners will do. It will be a good challenge for us.

    "It took me a while to get the surface and the change of ends worked a bit. I just kept the wicket in play.

    On dropping catch from Richa Ghosh: "The first one came so hard at me and I didn't have time to think. The second one, I thought I have got this and then I didn't, It was a little embarrassing. I know I am better than that. Always going to try to get better."

  8. Lewis eyes rankings climb

    Ireland's Gaby Lewis throws a cricket ballINPHO

    Away from England for a brief moment....Ireland captain Gaby Lewis says improving their world ranking is top of the agenda as her side prepares for a multi-format home series against Zimbabwe.

    Two 14-player squads will play three Twenty20 Internationals at Pembroke Cricket Club in Dublin, starting tomorrow, and that is followed by two one-day internationals at Stormont.

    Ireland then face Pakistan in another summer series next month before the T20 World Cup qualifying tournament at the end of August.

    "We want to improve our ranking, it's something we have discussed," Lewis said.

    "We want to get to a point where we don't have to qualify for World Cups because you've already got that ranking and you've put those performances in in previous World Cups that allow you to not have to qualify."

    The consistency of England's bowling...

    All of England's bowlers went for 26-31 runs.

  10. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    England spinners when hitting the stumps today: 23 runs, 38 balls, 4 dismissals - 5.75 average, 3.63 economy rate.

  11. Sophie Ecclestone finished the pick of the England bowlers with 3-27 from her allotted six overs.

    Here are those wickets in all their glory.

    'Brilliantly caught!' - Ecclestone dismisses Deol for 16

    'It's gone straight through her! ' - Ecclestone bowls Kaur for seven

    Ecclestone 'back to her best' as she dismisses Ghosh lbw for two

    Emily Arlott of England celebrates taking the wicket of Pratika RawalGetty Images

    I have to give credit to Em Arlott.

    What I liked was how she hunted in on those stumps, she kept the channel right and she executed really well.

    This is not even a good T20 score. Surely a win for England.

    Graham in Somerset

  14. Ind 143-8

    A single and a leg bye off the last two balls from Emily Arlott.

    Dropped catches aside, a pretty decent effort from England with the ball.

    They will fancy their chances of chasing that total down.

  15. Sharma not out

    Deepti Sharma is home.

  16. Umpire review

    Deepti Sharma square drives, and looks for a second run before turning and diving to get back in her crease.

    She looks to be home so a cursory check.

  17. Ind 138-8

    Emily Arlott with the final over.

    Kranti Goud scrambles a single before Deepti Sharma sweeps the ball square. Good fielding from England deny the India batter a second.

  18. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Kranti Goud's first ever international run. She has batted once before for India.

  19. Ind 137-8

    Deepti Sharma with a single off the first ball off Linsey Smith but Kranti Goud then faces four dots before...taking a single.

    Baffling stuff from the India batters.

  20. Ind 135-8

    12 balls remaining.

    England's bowlers will be sniffing out these last two wickets,
