Shafali Verma didn't look comfortable there - it looked like it was going over middle stump.

I like how Heather Knight basically ignores Katherine Brunt when it comes to discussing if they should review something, and just asks Amy Jones instead. Wise.

What a strange shot! A bit short from Brunt and Verma backs away and sort of pushes it over point for four, it's quite hard to describe.

It didn't look convincing but the next one does - another short one and Verma takes on the pull over midwicket for four more.

That's more like it!

Another lbw appeal on Smriti Mandhana, but it looks a bit high. Brunt is pleading with Heather Knight but she's not having it.

A wry smile from Mandhana.

England have gone with a different approach to Shafali Verma. Instead of bowling bouncers, they've just gone back of a length, around hip height which is difficult for her to get away because she isn't as good off the back foot, as the front foot.

A very quiet Shafali Verma so far as she negotiates an Anya Shrubsole maiden, each ball back of a length to stop her getting on the front foot, which she prefers.

England trying to frustrate Verma out, perhaps.

That is an unbelievable statement.

So, we're saying goodbye to Sangakkara, Lara and Lydia Greenway?

Left and right-handed combinations is so annoying as a player, you end up running around like a headless chicken.

I do think all left-handers should be banned from cricket.

Verma also gets off the mark with an almost identical shot. The right and left handed opening partnership means England's fielders are running all over the place whenever they take a single.

Katherine Brunt goes for a half-hearted lbw appeal on Mandhana that was probably going down leg.

Mandhana follows it up with a convincing pull for four off the final ball. Outfield looks quick.

Mandhana is off the mark first ball with a clip out to Kate Cross on the square-leg boundary for a single.

England take a standard post-match huddle outside the boundary rope, arms over shoulders as Heather Knight delivers some words of inspiration, I'm sure.

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma lean nonchalantly on their bats as the umpires lead the way.

Katherine Brunt with the new ball, as expected.

Just over five minutes to go so just a reminder of the teams:

England: Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Heather Knight (capt), Nat Sciver, Amy Jones (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Katherine Brunt, Sarah Glenn, Sophie Ecclestone, Anya Shrubsole, Kate Cross.

India: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Mithali Raj (capt), Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Shikha Pandey, Jhulan Goswami, Poonam Yadav.

Umpires: Nigel Llong, Russell Warren. Third umpire: Graham Lloyd.

Shafali Verma is so aggressive. She'll have learnt from her last innings, she was a bit reckless.

England will 100% target her with the short ball again, but Verma will definitely take it on. She'll have worked on it in training the last few days.

Sophia Dunkley made her ODI debut in the first game but wasn't needed with the bat or ball. Will we get to see her today?

I expect to see a different India today. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana will always go hard at the top but they've made a change in the middle order with Jemimah Rodrigues coming in for a bit more aggression to follow them.

England will want to get early wickets. India have such a powerful opening partnership, they will come hard, so to get one early.

India did go a bit stale in the middle order, but Rodrigues will come harder.

England can't really improve from the first ODI, they were absolutely clinical.

And when it was England's turn to bat, the differences were stark. The word 'intent' is often used in cricket and Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver certainly played with plenty of it.

Captain Mithali Raj, ever the glue for India's batting order, took on the anchor role - eventually out for 72 from 108 balls.

Her approach could have been justified if the rest of the order played freely around her, but England's consistency with the ball and in the field didn't allow them to.

There was plenty of criticism and confusion around India's go-slow approach to their batting - but England made the job very difficult for them by removing their three danger players for next to nothing.

Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur will be desperate to put that right today.

So before play gets under way, let's take a quick recap of England's convincing eight-wicket win in the first game.

England have taken a 4-2 lead in the series and it was an emphatic all-round performance, with Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver finishing not out on 87 and 74 respectively to chase down India's below-par 202 with around 15 overs left.

England name an unchanged side from Sunday's win, whereas India make three changes.

Jemimah Rodrigues, Poonam Yadav and Sneh Rana come in for Punam Raut, Pooja Vastrakar and Ekta Bisht.

This is Sneh Rana's first ODI for more than five years!
