  1. 115-2published at 23 overs

    Beaumont 60, Sciver 17

    A much better over from Vastrakar there, just the single coming from it.

  2. Eng 115-2published at 22.2 overs

    That is possibly the best bit of fielding we've seen all day - Deepti Sharma dives full stretch to her left at extra cover and one-handedly stops a Tammy Beaumont drive that was destined for the boundary.

  3. Eng 114-2published at 22 overs

    It's looking like net practice out there for these two. They take five from Harmanpreet Kaur's over without breaking a sweat.

    Lisa Keightley has been England head coach for a year and a half, but it's been dominated by Covid. Now we're finally seeing what England are going to look like under Keightley and Heather Knight. It's very exciting.

  5. Eng 109-2published at 21 overs

    Beaumont 57, Sciver 14

    Pooja Vastrakar comes back having bowled a very expensive solo over earlier in the innings.

    And she's greeted by another Tammy Beaumont four carved past backward point.

    She does finish the over with a well-executed yorker though, that Beaumont just digs out from her toes.

    Tammy Beaumont has looked proactive in both attack and defence, she's such a fun batter to watch.

    Dear, oh dear, oh dear.

    She just didn't judge the catch at all.

  9. dropped catch

    Sciver dropped on 12published at 19.2 overs

    It was a top-edged sweep from Sciver, and horribly misjudged from Ekta Bisht at short fine leg. She didn't go backwards quickly enough, but still gets two hands to it.

    Should've been taken, instead they get a single.

    Here are just a few of Tammy Beaumont's boundaries as we wait for Harmanpreet Kaur to start her over.

    England have kept going after wickets, they haven't been deterred.

  12. Eng 100-2published at 19 overs

    Beaumont 51, Sciver 12

    Beaumont also brings up England's 100. For comparison, India reached the same score in the 32nd over.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Tammy Beaumontpublished at 18.2 overs

    This has been a fantastic innings from Beaumont who hasn't given a chance from what I can remember. She gets to the landmark with another sweep down to backward square leg. Consistency.

  14. Match referee from men's T20 tests positivepublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 27 June 2021
    Breaking

    Some news from the England men's camp.

    Yesterday's match referee, Phil Whitticase, has tested positive for Covid-19. According to the England and Wales Cricket Board, Whitticase is well and is asymptomatic.

    He will now observe 10 days of self-isolation. Seven other members from the match officials and anti-corruption unit teams were deemed close contacts, including five members due to officiate at the first one-day international against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Those impacted will also have to self-isolate for 10 days.

    No members of the two playing teams were impacted.

    An ECB statement said "alternative arrangements will be put in place to ensure Tuesday’s ODI goes ahead as planned".

  15. Eng 95-2published at 18 overs

    And again!

    Too full this time and Sciver plays it straight past mid on for another boundary.

    The wicket of Knight really hasn't slowed England down.

  16. Eng 91-2published at 17.3 overs

    Ekta Bisht has bowled tightly but she drops one too short and Nat Sciver pounces to thump it over mid-wicket for her first four.

    It's looking a little bit brighter here, which I'm really glad to say.

  18. Eng 86-2published at 17 overs

    Beaumont 45, Sciver 3

    A tidy over from Deepti Sharma concedes just two from the bat of Nat Sciver.

    This is now Tammy Beaumont's highest score against India, in her 18th innings against them.

    Before today she averaged 20.2 against them.

  20. Eng 84-2published at 16 overs

    Sciver gets off the mark straight away with a dab down to third man. Daniel Norcross just used the sentence 'Bisht has not been boshed' on TMS and I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
