  1. Ind 72-5

    Deepti Sharma is the new batter, joining Smriti Mandhana at the crease.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt decides to whip Charlie Dean out of the attack for Linsey Smith.

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

    A review of desperation. India's batting depth is certainly going to be tested now.

    There's nothing Smriti Mandhana can do except watch the wickets fall at the non-strikers end.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Ghosh lbw b Ecclestone 2 (Ind 72-5)

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

    Three reds on the ball-tracking technology and Richa Ghosh is on her way back to the pavilion.

    India are in a bit of trouble here. If England can nip out Smriti Mandhana they could knock India over for a pretty modest total.

  4. India review

    More like an attempt to flick it to leg, having changed her mind mid-shot, by Richa Ghosh.

    No bat involved.

  5. India review

    Richa Ghosh is struck on the pad by Sophie Ecclestone playing a tentative defensive prod.

    It's given out on field, but Ghosh reviews it.

    This looks out...

  6. Ind 70-4

    The dropped catch is still weighing on the mind of a glum-faced Charlie Dean as she collects her cap back at the end of the over.

  7. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator

    That is a honking drop. Goodness me. That was a really poor drop.

  8. dropped catch

    Ghosh dropped on nought

    Charlie Dean has just taken a screamer, and now drops an absolute dolly.

    Richa Ghosh lurches forward and tamely chips the ball back to Dean, who somehow manages to spill it.

    She's got her head in her hands.

  9. India 69-4 at drinks

    The fall of the wicket prompts the umpires to take a break for drinks.

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

    Brilliant work from Charlie Dean. Low to the ground, it was struck firmly straight back at her.

    Another big breakthrough! Not the start India would have wanted.

    It has been disciplined bowling from England. They have made mistakes in the field again, which is a source of frustration, but in terms of the bowling they have kept the pressure on.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Rodrigues c & b Dean 3 (Ind 69-4)

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

    And there's one of them!

    Jemimah Rodrigues dances down the track and drills the ball low back towards Charlie Dean, but the England spinner manages to get her fingers underneath the ball and claim a sharp return catch.

  12. Thanks, Adwaidh.

    This feels like a decent start for England if they can snaffle a couple more wickets in the next few overs.

  13. That's it from me for now, as we almost reach the halfway point of this innings.

    My colleague Timothy Abraham will take you through the rest of India's batting innings.

  14. Ind 68-3

    Sophie Ecclestone continues for England.

    The hosts will be in a solid position if they can remove Smriti Mandhana, who looks set in the middle.

  15. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Since the start of 2023, Sophie Ecclestone has picked up 18 wickets at an average of 15.33 when bowling to top four batters in ODIs. Her average is the lowest for any bowler with more than ten top four wickets in this timeframe.

    'Brilliantly caught!' - Ecclestone dismisses Deol for 16

  16. Ind 65-3

    Charlie Dean begins with a terrible wide that runs away to the boundary.

    But she then tightens up and concedes just three more.

    Jemimah Rodrigues is the new batter in and is off the mark.

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

    Good bit of bowling from Sophie Ecclestone.

    Harmanpreet Kaur goes back on a fuller ball and it clatters the off stump.

    Two for Ecclestone and she is only in her third over.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Kaur b Ecclestone 7 (Ind 57-3)

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

    But it doesn't matter!

    Harmanpreet Kaur has to walk back anyway as Sophie Ecclestone castles her.

    The India captain tries to cut her but fails to make room and loses her off stump. Two wickets now for Ecclestone.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    That is not a great effort and it is Sophia Dunkley, again.

    A torrid time in the field today.

  20. dropped catch

    Kaur dropped on 5

    Ind 57-2

    Not great fielding from England. And it's Sophia Dunkley again.

    Harmanpreet Kaur miscues her shot and it is in the air for a long time. Dunkley is underneath it but cannot get her hand on it.

    It will go down as another dropped catch.
