    Winfield-Hill 14, Beaumont 1

    A second boundary comes for Winfield-Hill in the over but less convincing this time - she goes for a pull shot which just evades mid-wicket, but gets lucky and it shoots past for four.

    That is a sumptuous shot from Lauren Winfield-Hill. It's a shot that Virat Kohli plays well, and he would have been proud of that one.

  4. Eng 14-0published at 2.2 overs

    Shot! That's the first boundary for Lauren Winfield-Hill and England as she just leans into a full ball from Goswami and carves it to the cover boundary.

  5. Eng 10-0published at 2.1 overs

    Jhulan Goswami tests Tammy Beaumont out with a short ball, but the batter pulls it easily down to fine leg to get off the mark with a single

    There's a pretty startling height difference between Beaumont and Goswami.

    There is no doubt that India's score is below par.

    England did bowl very well and fielded well. The opening spell of Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole really set the tone, and Sophie Ecclestone really squeezed the game. I was really impressed by their field settings, they had clear calculated plans for each batter and it worked.

    Winfield-Hill 6, Beaumont 0

    There's definitely some movement out there but Winfield-Hill does well to get a couple of twos away.

    It is missing fourth stump, fifth stump and maybe clipping a sixth stump. It might have just been umpire's call on a second set of stumps.

    It wasn't an ideal review from India.

  9. Eng 4-0published at 1.2 overs

    It might just have hit a second set of stumps. Not a great review, to be polite.

    The shy at the stumps that happened after they ran the leg bye would've been out if she'd hit, though.

  10. Eng 4-0published at 1.2 overs

    Full and straight from Pandey, Beaumont goes for an extravagant leg side flick. Pandey wants it, and Mithaji Raj goes for a review. It's been given not out on the field, though.

    There is no such thing as a bad free lunch.

  12. Eng 2-0published at 1 over

    Winfield-Hill gets two with a flick through the leg side to slightly spoil a lovely first over from Goswami. England up and running.

  13. Eng 0-0published at 0.4 overs

    There's swing there for Goswami - Winfield-Hill goes for a big drive but it swings past the outside edge. She looks completely and utterly baffled.

    The players are back out there, Lauren Winfield-Hill and Tammy Beaumont for England, Jhulan Goswami for India.

    Mithali Raj was eventually bowled by Sophie Ecclestone for 72 from 108 balls. Ecclestone also claimed the big wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur.

    She combined with Pooja Vastrakar to up the run rate in the last 10 overs.

    Captain Mithali Raj played one of her classic anchoring innings, eventually bringing up her 18th ODI 50 against England. Her go-slow approach meant India's lower order had to try and play some shots around her.

    Poonam Raut started very slowly but eventually started to try and force the pace with some fluent drives. The pressure to score got to her eventually, though, as she was caught going for a big shot.

    But when they were dismissed, the pace of the innings stalled a little as India had to rebuild.

    As expected, openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana tried to get India off to a quick start in the powerplay, but boundaries like these were hard to come by thanks to some tight bowling and fielding from England.
