    Cheers, Mitch. Right. As Stephan has said, the highest score England have made batting second to win an ODI is 243-1, and that was back in 2008.

  2. Ind 176-1published at 35 overs

    Raut 65, Raj 17

    It's been feast or famine with Brunt's bowling today - India have either filled their boots with boundaries, or had trouble getting England's pace bowler off the square. Brunt, giving it everything, digs in a bouncer but with little assistance from the pitch, Mithali Raj hooks and the ball sails down the leg side for four. A legside wide and a single mean this stand is already worth 32.

    And having made the solitary breakthrough, to talk you through the rest of the innings, I return you to the safe hands of Amy Lofthouse...

    India have shown a lot of intent from right up front. They've been aggressive in their running. Even Mithali Raj, who is a slow starter, is running hard

  4. Ind 169-1published at 34 overs

    Hartley 4-0-20-0

    Hartley in for her fourth over (and the third of this spell) from the Racecourse End). A rather binary over - ones and zeroes - produces four singles and two dot balls.

  5. Watch that Raut six off Bruntpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 24 June 2017

    Punam Raut might look diminutive but here she is, thwacking England's strike bowler for six.

  6. Ind 165-1published at 33 overs

    Brunt mixes up her pace, trying a couple of slower balls which keep India tied down - and some tight fielding allows her to complete a maiden over, only the second of the innings.

    Meanwhile, off the field, while some supporters are posing for pictures with the World Cup trophy, young fans add their good luck messages to a giant, six-foot-high white cricket ball - which looks like it could burst free any minute and go on the rampage like Rover from the 1960s series The Prisoner., external (Trust me on this one, it was a large white sphere, though unlike this one at Derby, it lacked any ICC logo branding)

    The highest score England have made batting second to win an ODI is 243-1 against New Zealand in 2008. It's looking likely that record will have to be broken if they are to start the World Cup with a victory.

  8. Ind 165-1published at 32 overs

    That six has broken the shackles for India, as Raut and Raj look to force the pace against spinner Hartley - and the India captain finds the boundary for the first time as she crashes one over extra cover for four.

  9. Another look at that India wicketpublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 24 June 2017

    Heather Knight chanced her arm against Smriti Mandhana and it paid off as the batsman chipped a simple catch to mid-wicket...

    She looked like she barely put any effort into that six. There's no breeze, either. The ball just kept on going.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 158-1published at 31 overs

    With Mandhana gone, Punam Raut has to be the aggressor and takes Katherine Brunt on, whacking her over mid-wicket for a big six - the Barnsley pace bowler has the proverbial face like thunder.

  12. Ind 150-1published at 30 overs

    Raut 53, Raj 4

    Captain Knight shuffles her bowling attack as left-arm spinner Alex Hartley returns in place of Gunn, but India are back in "steady" mode - just two singles brings up India's 150 as Hartley whistles through her over.

    That's just six runs in 3.1 overs since the wicket fell. As if we needed to know the best way to put the brakes on an innings.

    Katherine Brunt conceded eight from her first over, 16 from her second and just two from her latest.

  14. Powerplay? India have the powerpublished at 12:23 British Summer Time 24 June 2017

    Here's the India openers tucking into Anya Shrubsole's first powerplay over - whacking a six and three fours.

  15. Ind 148-1published at 29 overs

    Re-energised by that wicket, England turn back to the pace of Katherine Brunt, who still has eight overs up her sleeve. Raj, undaunted, has not swapped her sunhat for a helmet against the pace of Brunt - which in a World Cup context, has me thinking back to 1996, and UAE captain Sultan Zarawani's decision to wear a floppy sunhat to bat against Allan Donald, and being hit on the head straight away.

    But the India captain, perhaps calmed by reading that novel, looks in good touch early on, showing Brunt the straightest of straight bats.

  16. Ind 146-1published at 28 overs

    Raut 51, Raj 2

    Mithali Raj is wearing her trademark wide-brimmed blue sunhat - of a similar brim diameter to those sported by today's ICC match referee, Sir Richie Richardson, back in the day. A marvellous last powerplay over from the veteran Jenny Gunn (playing in her fourth World Cup), five dots and a single.

  17. Cat on the outfield!published at 12:17 British Summer Time 24 June 2017

    And here's the clip you've all been waiting for - the cat on the outfield! (It also features Raut and Mandhana's century stand)

  18. Ind 145-1published at 27 overs

    Mithali Raj has had plenty of time to get through a huge chunk of her paperback book - and in the spirit of the title "Me Before You", she steals the strike with a single off her first ball.

    Mandhana c Hazell b Knight 90 (ind 144-1)

    Partnership broken! Smriti Mandhana falls 10 short of a hundred which looked there for the taking as she clips part-time spinner Knight to mid-wicket where a delighted Danielle Hazell takes the catch.

    If I dare make the pun, England are being Raut-ed.
