    50 for Rajpublished at 41.1 overs

    Anya Shrubsole is back into the attack, and she's greeted with a lofted drive over mid-on for four from Mithali Raj.

    That brings up her half-century off 95 balls.

    But she didn't predict two boundaries, Izzy. Who could have?

  3. Ind 144-4published at 41 overs

    Much better from India as a couple of singles end the over. That's 10 in total from it, and they'll be looking for at least similar off the remaining nine overs to get up to the 230 mark.

  4. Ind 142-2published at 40.4 overs

    London buses!

    Deepti Sharma finds the boundary again with a beautiful cover drive.

    We'd waited 43 balls for a boundary and now we've had two in three balls.

    We knew Alex would be insufferable talking about her catch today, last thing we need is for her to keep getting predictions right.

  6. Ind 138-4published at 40.2 overs

    Alex Hartley is right! Sign her up.

    Deepti Sharma gets down on one knee and sweeps to the square leg boundary. Tammy Beaumont does her best to get across, but can't quite there with a sprawling dive.

    I know how good Mithali Raj is and how good this team can be. So why are they playing like this?

  8. Ind 134-4published at 40 overs

    Mithali Raj and Deepti Sharma have put on 50 now in 79 balls. They needed to rebuild after a couple of quick wickets, but now is the time for some intent.

    Alex has got the first two parts of her prediction right - there was no boundary off Sarah Glenn or Katherine Brunt.

    Ten overs left. Time for the foot to press the pedal down.

    Just 18 runs off the last five overs. They've all come in singles apart from one wide.

    And edges don't count as boundaries. I'm not having that.

  11. Ind 131-4published at 39 overs

    Deepti Sharma keeps the strike with a single down the ground.

    There's plenty of encouragement from Amy Jones behind the stumps. It's normally along the lines of "yes, Glenny", "good bowling, Glenny", that sort of thing. The Midlands accent is strongggg.

  12. Ind 130-4published at 38.4 overs

    Brilliant from Tammy Beaumont!

    Mithali Raj rocks back and looks to cut, and times it well, but Beaumont sprawls across to make an excellent stop and keep Raj to a single.

    My prediction for the next boundary will be after the next two overs. One from Glenn, one from Brunt and then we'll have a boundary.

  14. Ind 128-4published at 38 overs

    Four singles off Katherine Brunt's seventh over.

    Will someone, please, play a shot!?!

    Deepti Sharma is a good batter, she's got a lot of good sweeps and reverse sweeps in her locker. She's just not playing them.

  16. Ind 124-4published at 37 overs

    Raj 43, Sharma 15

    There's a strangled appeal from Sarah Glenn and England for lbw against Deepti Sharma, as she looks to sweep, but it clearly hit her outside the line.

    Sharma is on 15 off 31 - she hasn't shown much intent either.

    This must be a deliberate team tactic, but you can't help but feel it is going to leave them short of a par score.

    Amy Jones is the best keeper in the world now. She was so unlucky to be behind Sarah Taylor for so many years.

    Amy Jones is a superb wicketkeeper, isn't she? She's stood up to the stumps for Katherine Brunt, and she does brilliantly to gather a leg-side bouncer.

    Just a couple of singles and that wide from the over. When are India going to flick the switch?

  20. Postpublished at 13:19 British Summer Time 27 June 2021

    Sophie Ecclestone is done for the time being. Heather Knight wants to save three of her overs for later.

    Katherine Brunt is back into the attack.
