    Is there a more expressive cricketer than Katherine Brunt?

  2. Eng 213-5published at 46 overs

    Need nine from 24 balls

    Three singles follow the boundary, and England's runs required are in the single figures.

    Sophia Dunkley is up to 67 now, here's how she reached her maiden ODI fifty.

    Dunkley picked up the length so quickly there. A superb shot.

  4. Eng 210-5published at 45.1 overs

    Need 12 from 29 balls

    Shot!

    A tad short from Jhulan Goswami, and Sophia Dunkley goes deep in her crease and crunches it to the mid-wicket boundary.

  5. Eng 206-5published at 45 overs

    Need 16 from 30 balls

    Another three singles.

    England are just slowly ticking them off.

    Alex has kept on giving on today.

    From retiring Mithali Raj, binning off left-handers, and not being able to say caramelised.

    No, just a yawn.

    This partnership is now worth 70, a record sixth-wicket partnership for England against India.

  10. Eng 203-5published at 44 overs

    Need 19 from 36 balls

    A stroke of fortune for England as Katherine Brunt inside edges onto her boot, and they sneak a single.

    This partnership with Sophia Dunkley is worth 70 now. It looks set to be matchwinning.

    Jhulan Goswami is back on.

    Harmanpreet Kaur knows she needs wickets.

    I can't say Marcus Trescothick and I can't say that word, you know where you put caramel on onions?

  15. Eng 198-5published at 43 overs

    Need 24 from 42 balls

    Two singles end the over.

    My post has not long arrived. It's 9pm!!

    That's the sort of boundary that will make England think, yep, we've got this.

  17. Eng 196-5published at 42.4 overs

    Need 26 from 44 balls

    There's one of those boundaries.

    It's another poor bit of fielding, as it slips through the cover fielder's hands, and it races away off the practice pitches again.

    Dunkley's shown her character too, to get these runs in a very tricky situation for England.

  19. Eng 191-5published at 42 overs

    Need 31 from 48 balls

    Good over for England, with seven coming from it.

    You feel another two or three boundaries and this game is comfortably theirs.

    That infectious Dunkley smile is back. She looks proud as punch and rightly so. A brilliantly deserved fifty.
