    I'm so happy to see that since I've taken a break from commentary, Mithali Raj is taking singles! I think I need to eat my hat, if that's the right saying.

    Katherine Brunt will continue after drinks.

    Ffion agrees with Amy. I've never been to that one, so I'm going to give a shoutout to Norton Canes. That's seen many a visit on the way to Wembley.

    I'm not saying that some of this cricket isn't thrilling, but our conversation has just turned to what is the best service station on the road. (It's Gloucester, btw).

    It's drinks again, so check out the three wickets to fall so far.

  6. Ind 139-3published at 32 overs

    Good comeback from Sarah Glenn, with just a single conceded from the final five balls.

  7. Ind 138-3published at 31.1 overs

    Shot! And much better intent from Mithali Raj as she takes a step down the track and drives hard, back past Sarah Glenn, who gets a deflection on it.

    Andi: I've never understood how Dawid Malan is top of the men's rankings, so I have to say I don't take them too seriously.

    That was an achingly slower ball! Raj could have hit that anywhere.

  10. Ind 134-3published at 31 overs

    More tight stuff from Katherine Brunt.

    This partnership is worth 57 now, which should be concerning England, but you can't imagine they are too concerned. It feels like they are controlling this game.

    Taunton is actually Fortress Mithali. She's scored 252 international runs here at an average of 126.

  12. Ind 131-3published at 30 overs

    Sarah Glenn's line strays again, and India pick up four leg byes after an attempted sweep from Mithali Raj.

    I'm going to be honest, I missed most of the other balls. I was interrupted, and had my TV blocked, by my mum saying she needs some help in the garden when I'm off.

    Shafali Verma is fun to watch isn't she?

    Here's how she attacked, and got out, today.

  14. Ind 124-3published at 28 overs

    Just three singles again.

    That's just seven from the last three overs. England are controlling the game and the rate at the moment.

    Heather Knight wants a wicket so she's recalled her premier fast bowler.

    Heather Knight has turned back to the pace of Katherine Brunt.

    Sarah Glenn started her career bowling seam!

    Better from Sarah Glenn. She struggled with her line in the previous over, but she's much tighter in this over, conceding just a single.

    India at their current run-rate are on course for 216. That probably wouldn't be enough against this England side.

    These two like to play themselves in, which as fine, as long as they then go through the gears.

    It's not electrifying scoring, but it's just starting to tick over for India now.
