    Here's Sophie Ecclestone, who takes a single out to long-on to finish the over.

    For the record, before the wicket, Charlie Dean had reverse swept Deepti Sharma for four.

    The spinner closes with figures of 4-51 - a good day for her.

    Emma Lamb cleared the front leg and it is another simple catch for India. England have got to bat the 50 overs now, they cannot get bowled out.

    Five singles and a four!

    Emma Lamb changes the complexion of Sneh Rana's last over, sweeping its final delivery to the boundary at square.

    The spinner finishes with figures of 0-56.

    This has been a brilliant couple of overs for India. The boundaries have slowed up for England.

    How can they get some? Can they try the reverse sweep?

  6. Eng 260-6published at 47 overs

    Three singles off the rest of the over as Charlie Dean comes to the crease.

    Having looked set for near-300 with Heather Knight at the crease, they're now probably looking at around the 280 mark.

    Could that be costly?

    That is one of Alice Capsey's favourite shots so I don't mind that. She plays that all the time and it is one of her strengths.

    For me, this would be a perfect time for Sophie Ecclestone to get out there.

    Sophia Dunkley is not having the best of times in this World Cup. She could not have picked out Deepti Sharma any better if she tried.

    That is a bizarre decision from Sophia Dunkley to play that shot when there is a fielder out in the deep.

    Emma Lamb, who has a top score of 13 from three innings in this tournament, comes to the crease with just over five overs left in the innings.

    Heather Knight is walking off - I wasn't entirely sure the wicketkeeper had taken that cleanly.

    But now Heather Knight departs!

    She pulls out to the mid-wicket boundary, where Amanjot Kaur blocks the boundary and recovers to nail a throw over the stumps.

    Knight comes back for a second run but is beaten by the superb bit of fielding from Amanjot, with Richa Ghosh taking off the bails having gathered over the wicket.

    Deepti Sharma's drop of Heather Knight wasn't a rare one for India. So far in this tournament they've taken just 64% of their catching opportunities - only Bangladesh have been worse.

    Another four straight away for Heather Knight.

    She cuts Shree Charani away through backward point.

    Heather Knight's fitness is so impressive considering she has come back from injury. A superb innings from her.

    A wonderful knock from the former skipper. Heather Knight has been made to work for these runs.
