  1. Ind 77-3published at 17 overs

    We now have two players on 0 at the crease - Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur.

    The good thing for India is that they got such a good start, they can afford a few quiet overs to consolidate.

    Not too many, though.

    India are just in a little bit of bother here.

  3. wicket

    Ind 77-3published at 16.4 overs

    Verma st Jones b Ecclestone 44

    Big, big wicket.

    A quicker ball from Sophie Ecclestone, Verma uses her feet but it skids through and sharp work from Amy Jones behind the stumps.

    Verma did the splits in attempt to get back, but didn't make it. Time to rebuild - again.

    They've gone upstairs for a stumping on Shafali Verma...

    It looks close. Tough work for the third umpire.

  5. Ind 77-2published at 16 overs

    Verma 44, Raj 0

    Wow, Mark. It seems you have a gift.

    Mark Puttick: 2500 days: time between Kate Cross' 1st & 2nd ODI wickets v India.

    3 days: time between Kate Cross' 2nd & 3rd ODI wickets v India.

    Based on this increase in rate, her 4th wicket should come in 5 minutes.

    It was a good catch from Katherine Brunt.

    Kate Cross was impressive in the first ODI and is really supporting the opening bowlers. The effective opening spell, where the England bowlers were repelled, but were probing is reaping rewards.

  8. wicket

    Ind 76-2published at 15.3 overs

    Rodrigues c Brunt b Cross 8

    Another one for Kate Cross!

    It was full, straight and Rodrigues tried to whip it to the leg side but got a high leading edge and Katherine Brunt takes the catch.

    There was pressure on Rodrigues to keep that momentum going from the opening partnership which is a big ask for a young player in her first game of the series.

  9. Ind 75-1published at 15 overs

    Verma 43, Rodrigues 8

    The petite Jemimah Rodrigues bumps gloves with Shafali Verma and she'll certainly be feeling a lot better after those two fours.

  10. Ind 76-1published at 14.3 overs

    That's the shot from a player who was just desperate to get off the mark. Rodrigues dances down the track to Ecclestone and gets a four that just evades a jumping mid off.

    No doubt next ball though as she unfurls potentially the shot of the day - a stunningly timed cover drive for another boundary.

  11. Ind 66-1published at 14 overs

    Verma 41, Rodrigues 0

    A few more pleasant looking drives from Rodrigues that just find fielders, but I don't think she'll feel much pressure because Verma is taking all the pressure off her at this stage.

    What a tour Shafali Verma is having.

    That's audacious batting from Verma - she walked way across her stumps, showing Kate Cross all three - and pulls it past fine leg who was in the circle for four.

    She then guides one to third man for another controlled boundary. It's Cross' turn to look disgruntled.

  14. Ind 57-1published at 13 overs

    It's strange to see a 17-year-old taking the role of senior player, but Verma looks so calm and that will be a reassurance for Rodrigues to take some time to get settled.

    She plays another couple of nervous shots but unveils a nice drive off the final ball that Heather Knight dives to intercept.

    It was a brilliant tactical change from Heather Knight, to bring Kate Cross on. She bowled really disciplined in the first ODI, and she's starting to make a name for herself in the format.

  16. Ind 56-1published at 12 overs

    A nervous start from Rodrigues as she just pokes at one outside the off stump.

    There will be pressure on her here but she is another of India's very young but very talented prospects.

    It was a nothing shot. The ball was too full for the stroke.

    Mandhana b Cross 22

    Oh, I've cursed them.

    These two were looking so comfortable but that's a loose shot from Smriti Mandhana as she plays on to Kate Cross trying to cut a ball that was too close to her.

    Here comes Jemimah Rodrigues for her first innings of the series so far.

    It's been an expansive opening partnership for India so far.

    This is what the series needed, India making a strong start in ideal batting conditions.
