    Ekta Bisht is my arch nemesis. She is the only bowler in international cricket to get me out.

    It haunts me. I still think about it now.

  2. Eng 60-2published at 9.2 overs

    Back to back boundaries for Tammy Beaumont. Ekta Bisht's first ball is dragged down and Beaumont can easily sweep it away for four. The second is fuller but still leg side and produces the same result.

    Goswami is back on her length now, and giving a lesson to her fellow bowlers. Straight, and just back of a length for six balls in a row - a maiden to Heather Knight is a good achievement.

    But India need wickets and they need them quickly if they are to have any chance.

    These two batters have smiles on their faces. They'll want to prove a point and chase this as quickly as they can.

    Beamont 20, Knight 12

    It's not been the best start for Vastrakar but that is a wonderful shot from Tammy Beaumont, driving a slightly overpitched delivery straight back past the bowler for four.

    She then goes full and wide and concedes another boundary thanks to a mis-field at point.

    England are just waiting for that loose delivery, and they are punishing it at the moment.

  7. Eng 43-1published at 7.1 overs

    A change of bowling as Pooja Vastrakar comes on.

    She starts off too full and is greeted by another Heather Knight cover drive for four.

    The Jhulan Goswami wicket was her 72nd against England, nobody has taken more against them.

    She now has 234 ODI wickets.

  9. Eng 39-1published at 7 overs

    Goswami was frustrated by that boundary. She has started very well and just gave Heather Knight a freebie.

    She responds right back on her length and draws an outside edge from Knight, just squaring her up. Goswami's hands go to her head in agonising despair.

    Heather Knight is up and running. Goswami loses her line and length, goes too wide and full and Knight doesn't miss out on a four past cover.

    There is a little smile from Tammy Beaumont.

    The length was a little bit too full from Pandey, which allowed Beaumont to just push on the ball.

    Beaumont 12, Knight 0

    Big in-swing from Pandey there that just catches Tammy Beaumont by surprise, but I think she gets an inside edge onto the pad.

    It was a nice tight start to the over but Beaumont eventually gets some width and she punishes two in a row to the cover boundary with some glorious drives.

    A bit of a sassy swish of the bat as well as she just admires her shots.

    You do feel the only way India can win this game is by bowling England out.

  14. Eng 24-1published at 5 overs

    Heather Knight comes out, still sporting the long sleeved jumper and who can blame her?

    But I'd imagine after a few lengths of the wicket she'll be calling for the twelfth man to come and take it back. We've all been there.

    That is the line, back of a length. She got a little bit of extra bounce, and it was too straight for Winfield-Hill to cut.

    It was wonderful from Jhulan Goswami. What a player. What a wicket. It is important for India and she is ecstatic.

    Winfield-Hill c Bhatia b Goswami 16

    First one down for England. Jhulan Goswami is delighted, and she has deserved that.

    Long legs pounding, she draws a false shot from Winfield-Hill outside the off stump and Taniya Bhatia snaffles the catch.

    Winfield-Hill will be very frustrated with that.

    It has been a positive start by England, but India have bowled well.

    Jhulan Goswami and Shikha Pandey have bowled a little bit straight at times, allowing England to just work them round the corner.

  18. Eng 22-0published at 4 overs

    Shikha Pandey draws an outside edge from Winfield-Hill but it falls safely for a single to third man.

    Beaumont clips one away for two and England have made a very solid start.

    Oh shoot! I was making such a good point as well.

    Yes, but that says Fulham, Greater London.
