  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. How's stat?!

    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.

  6. 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.

    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.

  8. 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!

  10. Eng 165-2

    Three more singles off the remainder of the over.

    England have scored 28 off the last 18 deliveries.

    50 for Heather Knight

    '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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

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

    : Harmanpreet Kaur of India (R) speaks to team mate Sneh RanaGetty Images

    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.

    A truly worryingly slow run rate. Need to whack two boundaries per over from here.

    Owen in Kingswood

  17. Eng 136-2

    England are still struggling to score off Kranti Goud, she again goes for a couple of singles plus a wide.

    A good showing from the 22-year-old right-armer.

  18. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    England need to get more than 300 runs here. They usually have an explosive finish in the last 20 overs or so.

    Heather Knight of EnglandGetty Images

    Four more on the sweep for Heather Knight!

    Once again she puts Sneh Rana away, sending the ball off to the mid-wicket ropes.

    A further single takes her to 32 from 39 deliveries.

  20. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    Heather Knight is in a solid anchoring role here. She’s attacked just 31% of the balls bowled to her - that’s the lowest figure for any England batter today.
