  1. Harmanpreet Kaur continues to rotate her bowlers as Sneh Rana returns.

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Was she? That must've been when I went to get some snacks.

  3. Stephan Shemilt

    Don't forget that Dunkley was dropped on 23.

  4. Eng 165-5

    Need 57 from 84 balls

    India have got mid-wicket open at the moment and it is allowing England to just knock the ball into there. Are the tourists hoping for a leading edge? We have seen a few today, but it feels a bit too easy for England, with them needing less than a run a ball to win.

    This partnership is worth 32 now.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    England look like they're in control now.

  6. Eng 161-5

    Need 61 from 89 balls

    Katherine Brunt advances to her first ball, and drags it through mid-wicket for four, despite the sprawling efforts of Sneh Rana.

  7. The slow spin of Poonam Yadav is back. She has two overs left, and has figures of 2-52 so far.

  8. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I wonder if the fact that Brunt didn't bowl as well as she'd like will make her more determined to get the job done with the bat.

  9. Eng 157-5

    Need 65 from 90 balls

    As you'd expect with Katherine Brunt at the crease these two are pushing the fielders hard, but they have to settle for just three singles.

    The required run-rate is at 4.33.

  10. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Test Match Special

    It feels like Sophia Dunkley has been playing for England for years.

  11. Eng 154-5

    Need 68 from 96 balls

    Two dots end the over.

    What are people saying? Thumbs up for an England win, thumbs down for an India win.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Test Match Special

    What a stroke that is from Sophia Dunkley!

  13. 6 runs

    Eng 154-5

    Shot! That's a pressure reliever from Sophia Dunkley.

    She's down on one knee slapping Pandey over long-on.

    Superb shot.

  14. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    India are just thinking wickets, wickets, wickets.

  15. She's going to save three overs of Jhulan Goswami for now.

    Shikha Pandey is into the attack.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Big decision from Harmanpreet Kaur about whether to bowl Goswami's overs here on the attack, or save a couple for the end.

  17. Eng 148-5

    Need 74 from 102 balls

    Just two singles from the over.

    The required run-rate is a still more than manageable 4.35.

  18. Deepti Sharma replaces Poonam Yadav, who still has two overs up her sleeve.

  19. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It was like a goalkeeper in football just getting a palm on one over the posts. She did really well to even get a hand on it but the second you do, it goes down as a chance.

  20. dropped catch

    Dunkley dropped on 23

    Eng 146-5; need 76 from 108 balls

    Oh, chance!

    Full and wide from Jhulan Goswami and Sophia Dunkley, who is stretching to play the shot, slices the drive but Radha Yadav, who is the sub fielder for Mithali Raj, can only parry it.

    How crucial could that prove to be?
