    We'll have a clip of that six shortly. After being dropped earlier, Winfield-Hill has really turned it on.

    What a shot that is! Winfield-Hill has smashed that over mid-wicket for six to bring up England's fifty. It wasn't too short but she's just picked up the length so quickly. I like seeing this positive approach, that's got my juices flowing!

    Taniya Bhatia has great hands behind the stumps! Pandey finds a tiny bit of late movement off the wicket, Winfield-Hill plays inside the line and Bhatia takes it beautifully into the gloves.

    The England opener then finds the boundary courtesy of a misfield at cover. India have been poor in the field this morning.

    Here are a couple of cracking shots from Lauren Winfield-Hill this morning...

    She's a real rock star is Rodrigues. On a slightly related note, I ordered a harmonica this morning. No idea why. And no idea how to play it. Seems easy enough to learn, right? Any tips?

    Two from Rana's over.

    No surprise that social media star Jemimah Rodrigues was happy to play up to the camera at the team's photo shoot earlier this week...

    Wicketkeeper up to the stumps, a short leg in place as Beaumont fishes at one which keeps low outside the off stump.

    Right, back to it.

    A change of ends for Pandey who replaces Goswami in the attack.

    It's great that we have more Tests in the calendar this year, but I would imagine it's in the backs of the minds of many that the more England, Australia and India play, the further behind the other nations will fall - something that is also often mentioned in the men's game.

    This outfield feels very slow to me...

    Lots of flight from Rana as Beaumont almost plays onto her stumps.

    The wicketkeeper, short leg and first slip are very vocal and full of encouragement for the spinner.

    My Hindi isn't great but I heard "shabash" which means well done.

    One from the over and time for drinks. Go on, go put the kettle on. I'll still be here when you get back, promise.

    We'll see spin for the first time with Sneh Rana about to turn her arm.

    Mark Burt: Great to see a pair of England openers playing with wonderfully straight bats. Shame the ECB didn’t feel they warranted a pitch worthy of their technique.

  15. Eng 36-0published at 13 overs

    Brilliant from Beaumont who pulls Goswami through mid-wicket for four. A controlled and powerful shot from the England opener which flew to the boundary.

    Winfield-Hill slices to backward point, there's a neat bit of fielding to stop the ball but an overthrow gifts England a run.

    Goswami completes her seventh over, time for a change in the attack?

    India's keeper, Taniya Bhatia, has already played 50 T20 internationals and yet this is her Test debut - it just shows how little Test cricket they get to play.

    Lauren Winfield-Hill now has her eye in, pulling a poor delivery from Vastrakar for a boundary.

    It was short, the line was poor and it was there to be hit.

    I have a bit of a controversial view on the Tests, really. I appreciate the tradition of Test cricket, but it is so different to the majority of the other cricket that is played by women - the white ball game - that it felt like a bit of a novelty actually when we got to play. It did feel special, and it meant a lot, but it was also so new to us.

    Superb ball from Goswami - it's outside off, finding bounce and movement off the pitch and narrowly misses the off stump as Beaumont shoulders her arms to let it go by.

    The England openers exchange singles to end the over.
