    What a talent Sophia Dunkley is. She brings up her first ODI half-century in her maiden innings. There's a little first pump to celebrate too.

    Don't forget she was dropped on 23...

    Mithali Raj, who isn't fielding because of a neck injury, is watching on from the sidelines. I wonder what she is thinking.

    Harmanpreet Kaur has led her side superbly tonight.

    Never mind height, there is a clear edge.

    You can see why they've gone for this. They need this wicket.

    Have India got Sophia Dunkley out lbw?

    She was trapped on the crease, but it looked high.

    There has been chaotic running tonight.

    Add this to the collection.

    Sophia Dunkley on drives, and Jhulan Goswami palms, so Katherine Brunt waits, before having to sprint and dive in to make her ground.

    You can just see Harmanpreet Kaur shining the ball at mid off, she's thinking of how to get a wicket but she's very calm as a captain.

    Alex Hartley gets her wish.

    Jhulan Goswami is back on.

    I asked five overs ago who you thought was going to win.

    The majority of you backed England.

    During The Hundred re-draft earlier in the year I spoke to Anya Shrubsole who predicted big things for Sophia Dunkley in that competition, and for England in years to come.

    It is easy to so why. She looks so composed, and like she has been playing at this level for years.

    Good over for England with seven coming off it.

    Sophia Dunkley has some power!

    She rocks back and crunches a cut through the covers, admittedly via a bit of a mis-field, for four more.

    She's up to 43.

    At this stage India were 162-5 as a point of reference.

    I think India need to bring on Goswami, their strike bowler.

    It must be torture facing Poonam Yadav. You must have to fight the urge to just want to smash her out of the ground every single ball.

    She's done for the day. She finishes with figures of 2-63, and here's how she got Amy Jones out.

    This situation suits Katherine Brunt, she's a fighter. She'll want to be there at the end.

    Three singles from the over.

    You get the feeling Sophia Dunkley and Katherine Brunt know they are in control of this chase, they don't need to do anything reckless.
