    Sharma c Dunkley b Cross 5 (Ind 160-5)

    Kate Cross has four!

    Deepti Sharma was looking to be positive, but an attempted flick is straight down the throat of Sophia Dunkley on the square leg boundary.

    India are struggling to put together a meaningful, and well-paced, partnership.

    Here's how Kate Cross dismissed Harmanpreet Kaur.

  3. Ind 160-4published at 37 overs

    India have a decent platform here, when will they attack? They didn't start until around the 45th over on Sunday. That was too late.

    Deepti Sharma winds up England's bowlers. She takes a long time to get ready at the crease and she did it in the Test match. Fast bowlers do not like being made to wait.

  5. Ind 159-4published at 36.3 overs

    Shot!

    A bit of a nothing, length ball from Anya Shrubsole and Deepti Sharma wallops it to the mid-wicket boundary.

    That got the treatment it deserved.

  7. Ind 153-4published at 36 overs

    After a brief check, Mithali Raj is fine to continue. She's on 48 off 73 balls at the moment, which is a tad slower than Sunday.

    When is she going to press the accelerator?

    One of the questions they ask you on a concussion test is to name all the months backwards. I struggle to do that one anyway, let alone when I'm concussed.

  9. ouch!

    Ind 151-4published at 35.4 overs

    Ouch! Kate Cross is bowling really well here, and bowls a bouncer, that surprises Mithali Raj.

    She's too early on the shot and the ball hits her flush on the grille. We'll have a delay while she gets checked over.

    That partnership between Mithali Raj and Kaur was worth 68 runs.

    I'd like to see her up on the floodlight to mark it being hers. She could even watch a game from up there if she fancied it.

  12. Ind 150-4published at 35 overs

    Wayward to start from Anya Shrubsole, and Mithali Raj just helps it around the corner for her seventh boundary.

    She's found more boundaries today, but the problem is after that. Just one single follows in the rest of the over.

    The Cricketer are reporting , externalthat England are close to agreeing to play a Test against South Africa next summer.

    If true, that is fantastic news. These multi-format series, with a Test included, should become a permanent fixture each summer.

    We used to say that Anya Shrubsole should have a stand here at Taunton. But I think they're all taken so we've given her a floodlight instead. The Anya Shrubsole Floodlight.

  15. Ind 145-4published at 34 overs

    Deepti Sharma is the new batter. She combined nicely with Mithali Raj in the first game. The tourists are going to need them to again.

    Anya Shrubsole is replacing Katherine Brunt.

    Harmanpreet Kaur was just trying to be a bit more expansive and up the run rate. The ball was in the air for a long time, those ones look easy but they never are.

    Kaur c & b Cross 19 (Ind 145-4)

    Breakthrough!

  18. Ind 144-3published at 33.1 overs

    She moves four runs closer to overtaking Charlotte Edwards after a poor bit of fielding from Sophia Dunkley.

    She gets there, brings out the long barrier, but it gets his knee cap and trickles into the ropes.

    Charlotte Edwards finished her career with 10,273 runs across all formats - the highest in women's cricket. At the start of today, Mithali Raj had 10,203 ...

  20. Ind 140-3published at 33 overs

    Just a single off the over.

    India have only scored 23 runs in the last seven overs.
