    WICKET

    Sciver-Brunt c Harmanpreet b Charani 38 (Eng 211-3)

    Harmanpreet takes one handed catch at extra cover to dismiss Sciver-Brunt for 38

    Or Harmanpreet could just sort things herself...

    The India captain takes the catch that ends the 115-run partnership, stepping to her right to take the catch after Nat Sciver-Brunt had hammered Shree Charani into the covers.

    It's a one-handed grab, just above her head - that really flew.

    This is how England wanted it to unfold. Harmanpreet Kaur needs to think of something creative here.

  3. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Harmanpreet Kaur has got some thinking to do here because Heather Knight is flying.

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 208-2

    Knight 'dancing down the track' hits six over deep mid-wicket

    Back to the Knight show!

    She lifts Kranti Gaud's penultimate ball off her pads and over the mid-wicket boundary for the game's first six.

    14 runs off the over.

  5. Eng 200-2

    England's 200 and the century partnership brought up with one shot.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt, who has very much been the junior partner in the last few overs, pulls Kranti Gaud through mid-wicket for four.

  6. Eng 194-2

    One more single from the rest of the over.

    Prior to that review, Heather Knight had swept her 12th four of the innings.

  7. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A good decision from the umpire. There is frustration in the India camp.

  8. Not out

    Eng 193-2

    Missing leg stump, with the outcome prompting obvious disgruntlement on the India bench.

    The hosts are now out of reviews.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Deepti Sharma is convinced about this. Nat Sciver-Brunt was deep in her crease.

  10. India review

    Has Deepti Sharma stalled England's charge?

    She's going to send a strike on the batter's pad upstairs for a review.

  11. Eng 187-2

    A pull, Heather?

    I'm not sure that's allowed.

    Still, it's another four as Shree Charani's last ball comes off the gloves, loops over third and heads heads to the boundary.

  12. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    Heather Knight has scored incredibly heavily behind square today. 80% of her runs have come behind the wicket - that's the highest figure for any of her ODI half-centuries.

  13. Eng 180-2

    More boundaries for Heather Knight on, you guessed it, the sweep.

    The former captain has accelerated in the last few overs, with her strike rate now approaching 100.

    She top-edges a shot off Sneh Rana over short fine leg and to the ropes, then reverse sweeps the final ball of the over through deep third.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Harmanpreet Kaur is up and about talking to her bowlers. She knows that one wicket will give India a really good opportunity to get back into the game.

  15. Eng 170-2

    Amanjot Kaur sends a delivery down the leg side, but Heather Knight fancies it and helps the ball on its way to the boundary with another sweep.

    She's hit eight fours today.

    England lack the big hitters needed to really dominate the top teams. Hopefully they prove me wrong!

  17. Eng 165-2

    Three more singles off the remainder of the over.

    England have scored 28 off the last 18 deliveries.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Heather Knight

    Eng 162-2

    'Expertly played' - Knight hits reverse sweep to bring up her half-century

    50 up with a four!

    Another half-century for the ever-reliable Heather Knight, reverse sweeping Sneh Rana through third.

    She brings up the landmark from 54 balls.

  19. Eng 156-2

    Definitely signs of acceleration from England as we head into a drinks break.

    Eight runs off the previous over, 11 runs off this as Heather Knight hits Shree Charani for consecutive fours.

    The first is another sweep, while the follow-up is lashed past point.

  20. Eng 145-2

    That's more like it!

    Amanjot Kaur returns after two overs of Kranti Goud and Nat Sciver-Brunt smacks her through long-on for four.
