Live Reporting

  1. Here come Mandhana and Verma. Brunt and Shrubsole will be fresh. They've hardly bowled this morning.

  2. Snehal Pradhan
    Ex-India seamer on BBC Test Match Special

    I can't see this being over today. Yes, India's middle order had a terrible time yesterday and today but it is a very strong line-up and I don't think we will see that happen again.

  3. Amy Lofthouse
    BBC Sport at Bristol

    It's not beyond the realms of possibility that his match could be done today. Either way, it seems like we're almost guaranteed to get a result in this Test which, after a series of Ashes draws, is brilliant.

  4. England spinner Sophie Ecclestone speaking to Sky Sports: "For me, attacking the stumps is massive thing, it's really threatening in Test cricket. It's a bit cold and windy but the seamers are loving bowling in this weather.

    "It's nice to have had the option to follow on, hopefully we bowl them out and win the Test."

  5. That follow-on also means we're going to get another look at Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. They're like Michael Slater and Matthew Hayden.

  6. Get Involved

    Roberto Colombi: I think we have a new ball of the century contender - unplayable from Brunt! What a ball! That’s how to use the new ball!

  7. If they get back on, India will have about 20 minutes to bat before lunch.

  9. Confirmation. England have enforced the follow-on.

    India will bat again 165 runs behind.

    Brilliant in-swinger from Anya Shrubsole, another absolute peach. Those two wickets with the new ball have been perfectly executed. I think the covers are coming on now, though...

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Goswami b Shrubsole 1 (Ind 231 all out)

    All over!

    There's the inswinger, Jhulan Goswami bowled neck and crop.

    Follow-on?

  12. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    That ninth-wicket partnership was worth 33 runs, and the last seven partnerships added just 30. Really useful runs for India.

  13. Ind 231-9

    Anya Shrubsole is on to share the new ball. Hooping inswingers on the menu.

    Ed Baldwin: One of the best swing dismissals I’ve ever seen. Brunty you absolute gem.

  15. Ind 231-9

    Need 16 to avoid the follow-on

    Jhulan Goswami in the number 11, the veteran tasked with helping Deepti avoid the follow-on. The England players have seen replays of the Vastrakar dismissal on the big screen and are laughing at its brilliance. Brunt is running back to her mark. The rain is closing in...

    That ball has almost taken Amy Jones' head off! That was an absolute beauty. Seam, swing and just taken the top of off stump.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Vastrakar b Brunt 12 (Ind 230-9)

    Bowled her!

    I'm telling you now, you won't see anyone bowl a better delivery all summer.

    A hooping away-swing from Katherine Brunt, starting on the line of leg/middle and leg, arcing away from Pooja Vastrakar to take the off bail.

    An absolute rozzer.

  19. Alex Hartley
    England World Cup-winning spinner on Test Match Special

    You can see how frustrated Ecclestone was there. She struggled against the left-handed Sharma, just losing her consistency a bit and she looked a lot less threatening. England will be grateful for the new ball.

  20. new ball

    New ball

    Ind 230-9

    New pill. Katherine Brunt...
