  1. 163-2

    Knight 48, Sciver 11

    Spin from both ends as Sneh Rana continues.

    Knight misses out on a short ball as she pulls it hard but straight to the fielder at short fine leg. A maiden over.

    Carl Warcup: 44 Anderson teammates named, hampered by my poor spilling (spelling, doh!).

  3. Eng 163-2

    Heather Knight solidly defends the first few balls from Deepti Sharma, easing herself back in after tea.

    She takes one single from the over to keep the strike and edge slightly closer to that half-century.

  4. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Ralph Brooker: Well done Tammy Beaumont and Lauren Winfield-Hill. A solid platform. Heather Knight and Nat Sciver are now adding value to your work.

  5. Thanks for the hype, Kal. I've been given my first stint on a live page on a day when I had to get up at 4am to catch the train from Cardiff to Manchester, so please bear with me!

  6. We've got a treat for you now. Whereas I'm still dining out on the five-fer I took for Rainham under-13s against Meopham in 1999, your next live-texter plays for Wales.

    Please welcome Ffion Wynne to the hot seat.

  7. And Knight will be back out in the middle alongside Nat Sciver, who is on 11.

    Here she is hitting veteran seamer Jhulan Goswami for back-to-back boundaries...

    Sciver hits Goswami for back-to-back fours

  8. Heather Knight, celebrating her 100th match as England captain, has batted solidly for her 47 not out...

  10. But the opener fell short of her highest Test score of 70 as Shafali Verma took this outstanding catch at short leg.

  11. Fancy a little recap of that session? Well, you're getting one.

    The brilliant Tammy Beaumont reached her second Test half-century...

  12. Tea - Eng 162-2

    Knight 47, Sciver 11

    That's another very good session for England, as India take their weary bowlers off the field.

  13. Eng 162-2

    Another bit of dodgy running, with Sciver once again going tothe danger end, but Shikha Pandey's shy is wide.

    Very harsh on Pandey that. They gave her the one over, it didn't work so they just took her off.

  15. One over and out for Shikha Pandey, with Pooja Vastrakar replacing her.

  16. How's stat?!

  17. Eng 159-2

    Knight 45, Sciver 10

    Almost a mix-up as Heather Knight comes through for two runs and Nat Sciver, running to the striker's end, is completely unaware. She turns, runs and watches the throw from the deep whizz past the stumps. Knight raise a glove in apology.

  18. A double change for India, with Deepti Sharma entering the attack.

  19. What a grab this way, by the way, to see off Tammy Beaumont.

  20. Eng 156-2

    ..and Heather Knight absolutely hoicks her first ball for four! Lovely.

    Nat Sciver almost adds to the boundary glut with a glorious straight drive that is cut off by a sprawling fielder at mid-on.
