    The exciting thing is to see is that England have really capitalised on the bad balls, something we haven't always seen with this side.

    A reminder that Nat Sciver is one of those players that it's worth paying the entry fee for, as she pulls and pulls Jhulian Goswami for four.

    And again! Gorgeous from Sciver, this time off the back foot and through the covers.

    The good thing is Hartley has barely mentioned that catch. Or when she hit the winning runs the other week.

    I pulled off this miraculous top-bins diving catch. Had I moved a few steps I could have easily caught it around midriff but where's the fun in that? It was a belter.

    That's a brilliant diving catch from Shafali Verma diving forward at short leg. Tammy Beaumont will be disappointed - there was a big score for her out there. Verma has waited patiently in that position and as soon as a chance has come to her, she's snaffled it.

    Beaumont c Verma b Sneh Rana 66 (Eng 140-2)

    What a grab that is!

    That is astonishingly good from Shafali Vema, who is in the dreaded short leg position on her Test debut. Tammy Beaumont comes forward once again and presses forward, the ball taking bat and pad before moving to Verma's left. The youngster, knowing she needs to move quick, dives, sticks out her right hand and takes a blinder of a catch. Beaumont can't believe it.

    Four! Heather Knight drives and drives gloriously through cover to add another boundary to the total.

    I think this is a better field set from India. A silly mid-on is in place for Tammy Beaumont and more fielders on the leg side which makes it harder for her to score through that area. This should force her to either play straight down the ground or through the off side, which is a bigger risk with the ball spinning into her.

    Perilous for Tammy Beaumont as she stretches forward to Sneh Rana and pops the ball just short of a helmeted Shafali Verma at short leg.

    Kayleigh: I managed 27/96 on the Jimmy Anderson quiz when I did it the other day. I didn't think that was that good until my dad pointed out that I was 5 when he debuted...

    You're making us - and Jimmy! - feel old, Kayleigh. For those wanting to try and beat that score, the quiz is here.

    Good positive intent again from Tammy Beaumont. India have brought in a leg slip because she was looking to sweep so much earlier, so she's put that shot away for now and has focused on moving her feet and coming down the wicket to the spin instead.

    Beaumont 65, Knight 31

    Tammy Beaumont does play some glorious shots.

    She uses her feet to skip down to Sneh Rana and whip her through mid-wicket for four of the loveliest runs.
