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.

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.

One more single from the rest of the over.

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

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

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

The hosts are now out of reviews.

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

Has Deepti Sharma stalled England's charge?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Three more singles off the remainder of the over.

England have scored 28 off the last 18 deliveries.

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.

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.

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.

300 would make me feel a lot more comfortable but anywhere between 270 and 300 gives England a great chance in the second innings.

Well Owen, convention says you double your score from here - would 274 be so terrible?

And England do have wickets in hand.

They can't afford masses many more quiet overs from here though - just a single off this Shree Charani effort.
