  1. Ind 195-7published at 48 overs

    Sophie Ecclestone sets such high standards of herself. She throws down a leg-side wide and lets out a huge moan.

    It's still just six runs off the over, though. England will definitely take that at this stage of the innings.

    Shikha Pandey is the new batter. What can she do in the remaining 16 balls?

    Vastrakar lbw b Ecclestone 15 (Ind 192-7)

    Crashing into leg stump!

    Sophie Ecclestone has three wickets now. Is she ever not in the wickets?

    That might be missing leg and off stump, but it's certainly going to be hitting middle.

    There is no bat...

  6. India reviewpublished at 47.2 overs

    Pooja Vastrakar has been given out lbw, as she looked to reverse sweep Sophie Ecclestone.

    Only bat will save her I think.

  8. Ind 189-6published at 47 overs

    That's not going to please Katherine Brunt. Pooja Vastrakar slices one up into the air, and it looks like Heather Knight is going to take the catch, but she doesn't get there and it drops a couple of yards in front of her. Should she have dived for that?

    Brunt can get angry and grumpy, think Stuart Broad, but when it is the captain she can't really do that. Knight knows though, I think, she closed her eyes in disappointment.

    What, in life in general? Or just commentary?

    I'm going to stand up here, because I think it's more exciting when you're standing up.

  11. Ind 186-6published at 46.1 overs

    Four leg byes for India as Katherine Brunt's line strays a little bit.

    The tourists will take them however they come at the moment.

    I'm surprised that Goswami and Pandey haven't come out. They're experienced batters but they can really give it a swing, too.

    Katherine Brunt is on to replace Nat Sciver.

    That was Mithali Raj's 18th 50 against England, but still that hundred evades her.

  15. Ind 181-6published at 46 overs

    Wicketkeeper Taniya Bhatia is the new batter and she's off the mark straight away with a single.

    Pooja Vastrakar is down on the floor, after edging the final ball of the over onto her ankle bone. Those hurt. After a bit of treatment she is ok to continue, though.

    England really packed that off side field and challenged Mithali Raj to give herself room. She obliged, tried to go leg side and cut but she couldn't connect.

    WICKETpublished at 45.3 overs

    Raj b Ecclestone 72 (Ind 180-6)

    What an odd dismissal!

    Mithali Raj plants her front foot forward, early, and prods the bat out, looking to the steer the ball down to the third region, but misses and the ball cannons into the stumps.

    Raj falls for 72, but it took her 108 balls. We'll find out later if that is too slow.

    The left-arm spin of Sophie Ecclestone is back on.

    This is what Raj can do. She sets, she consolidates and then she can go. Arguably she spent a bit too long consolidating but she's such a majestic player.

  20. Ind 178-5published at 45 overs

    There's not a run there! Can the fielder hit the stumps? No!

    Mithali Raj would have been out by a good few yards if the throw had hit the stumps.
