    New Zealand v Sri Lanka (Bristol)

    Given that Sri Lanka were 141-1 in the 36th over, New Zealand have managed to pull it back well after keeping them to 188-9 from their 50 overs in Bristol. Opening bowler Holly Huddleston took 5-35 from 10.

    India batsman Smriti Mandhana: "I think it was a very similar knock to the one against Australia but this is a world Cup and going forward, it could be a better match for me.

    "I kept going when Brunt was bowling and that suited us both. It gave us a good start. The last four and a half months has been really tough for me (Mandhana has strugged with a knee injury) but I'm really thankful that it's possible for me to play this match. I think if you do well in the World Cup, it is going to pay off."

    If India play well and start winning some games, we'll see some more investment [from the BCCI] and that will pay dividends for the global women's game.

    WICKETpublished at 50 overs

    Raj c Brunt b Knight 71 (Ind 281-3)

    That's a very good last over from Heather Knight, and she picks up the wicket of the India captain with the final ball! Mithali Raj went big and Katherine Brunt, running in from the boundary, slid on both knees to grab it.

    England will require their highest ever successful World Cup run chase if they're going to reach 282...

  5. Ind 281-2published at 49.5 overs

    Raj gives Knight the charge, but the Indian captain can only play it back to her fellow skipper who gets down well to ensure a dot ball.

  6. Ind 281-2published at 49.4 overs

    Down on one knee goes Kaur and has an almighty heave into the offside for another single.

  7. Ind 280-2published at 49.3 overs

    Raj slog-sweeps, doesn't really connect, the ball dribbles towards square leg and a single is taken.

  8. Ind 279-2published at 49.2 overs

    Four! Down the pitch comes Mithali Raj and the delivery is so slow, she can easily swing her arms and get a boundary straight down the ground.

  9. Ind 275-2published at 49.1 overs

    Right, here's the final over. It'll be Heather Knight to bowl it, and Harmanpreet Kaur laces the first delivery for a single.

  10. Ind 274-2published at 49 overs

    Dani Hazell changes up her pace, foxing Kaur with a slower delivery, but Kaur pushes her captain hard to get a second run. The 50 partnership comes up with a club down the ground from Mithali Raj. An expensive over from Hazell - 12 from it but she finishes with tidy figures of 1-51 from her 10.

    The main concern around teams like India has been the batting. Once they're set well with the bat, their bowlers can surprise you, so England could be in danger here. It's a daunting total they're going to have to chase.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 269-2published at 48.2 overs

    That's huge from Harmanpreet Kaur. Down on one knee, an almighty swing off the arms and Dani Hazell's tossed up delivery goes flying over the mid-wicket boundary. That's a properly emphatic tonk.

    Here's Mithali Raj reaching her 50 with a boundary...

  14. Ind 262-2published at 48 overs

    Kaur 14, Raj 62

    Ooft. Have that! Emphatic from Harmanpreet Kaur, coming down the wicket and clobbering the ball beyond Heather Knight and away to the boundary. That made such a thump off the bat. She tries it again but Knight, maybe seeing her coming, throws it wide and Kaur can only spoon a single.

    To give this some context, the highest successful chase in women's ODIs was 289 by Australia against New Zealand in 2012. The next two highest both came earlier this year in the Australia-New Zealand series - 276 by New Zealand and 273 by Australia.

  16. Ind 253-2published at 47 overs

    That's four. You can't bowl there to Mithali Raj. Drifting onto the legs and it's too easy for Raj to shovel her off the pads and away to the rope. In fact, Dani Hazell's line has just drifted here, five wides added to the total as Hazell spears one onto the pads. A costly over for England, with 12 runs coming from it.

  17. dropped catch

    A drop and a wicketpublished at 13:24 British Summer Time 24 June 2017

    England have not been at their best today - here's a third dropped catch, as Anya Shrubsole gives Punam Raut a third life on 78.

    But Danni Wyatt made it fourth time lucky for England as she snaffled up a catch out on the boundary.

  18. Ind 241-2published at 46 overs

    Raj 52, Kaur 8

    That's Jenny Gunn's work done for the day, and she finishes with good figures of 10-0-46-0. Mithali Raj tries to spoil those numbers with a crunching straight drive to the final ball of the over, but Nat Sciver comes charging around and slides to cut the ball off.

    Ind 235-2

    Shot! What a way to bring up your fifty! The India captain comes dancing down the pitch and flays Dani Hazell over mid-wicket. That's Mithal Raj's seventh consecutive fifty in ODIs. What a bit of form she is in.
