    It's hard to fault any part of this India performance. They've given themselves a real chance of winning this game and getting back in the series.

  2. Eng 206-9published at 46 overs

    Useful runs for England!

    Sarah Glenn plinks over mid-off for a couple, before a glorious cover drive brings her four.

    All these runs could be crucial.

  3. Eng 200-9published at 45.3 overs

    England creep up to 200 with a slice for two over backward point by Kate Cross and a leg bye.

    They'll want to see out the overs at least.

    India's fielding has been so, so good. The catching, that run out, the diving stops, and Taniya Bhatia has been excellent behind the stumps too.

    That is superb from Deepti Sharma! Shrubsole wasn't even in the picture.

    Shrubsole run out (Sharma) 1 (Eng 197-9)

    This is not pretty.

    Anya Shrubsole takes a few paces down the pitch at the non-striker's end but Sarah Glenn's drive is straight at Deepti Sharma and she gathers and turns to throw down the stumps.

    Shrubsole is miles out.

    Dunkley just got too far across, trying to tickle it down the leg side. She is very annoyed with herself.

    Dunkley b Sharma 28 (Eng 196-8)

    Bowled round her legs! Deepti Sharma has three.

    Sophia Dunkley has been taking an off-stump guard, and she goes further across, looking to just nudge the ball into the leg side, but misses and the ball hits leg stump.

    Another good breakthrough for India.

    Deepti Sharma has been excellent. She is a great competitor, rarely lets India down.

    Shot!

    After 34 balls, Sophia Dunkley picks up her first boundary with a beautiful reserve sweep.

    She had to put a lot of welly into that.

    Deepti Sharma is back into the attack.

    Glenn plays out a dot to start.

    Just a couple of runs and the wicket for the over.

    Three overs to go. Can England sneak up to 220?

    Sarah Glenn is the new batter.

    She supposedly hits it in unusual areas, ala Adil Rashid.

    I think that was a 'I might as well' review as opposed to a 'I don't think I'm out' review.

    Ecclestone lbw b Goswami 9 (Eng 192-7)

    Red, red, umpire's call. Sophie Ecclestone is gone.

    It just flicked the front pad on the way through, and that probably helps see the end of the England spinner. It was just clipping leg stump.

    There's no bat.

    From our vantage point of mid-wicket, it looked pretty full and pretty straight.

    Sophie Ecclestone has been given out lbw. She almost reluctantly sends it upstairs.
