    Dunkley has to be there at the end.

  2. Eng 168-5published at 39 overs

    Poonam Yadav is back on - she's still bowling at like 36mph.

    It's just four singles again from England. They'll be wanting at least 220 here.

    Well, well, well. What are England going to be able to do in the last nine overs now, without a set batter.

    Sophia Dunkley and Katherine Brunt did combine brilliantly, to make an unbroken 92, and guide England to victory on Wednesday. They will be hoping to link up well again here.

    That's the sort of catch that can lift a team.

    What a sensational catch that is! I don't think we've seen better than that all series!

    Scvier c Mandhana b Sharma 49 (Eng 164-5)

    WHAT A CATCH!

    Nat Sciver was starting to get really frustrated. We'd started to hear groans when she was hitting the fielders in the last few overs, so she decides to go over the top, looking to find the mid-wicket boundary, but Smriti Mandhana takes a sensational diving catch away to her left. She's at full stretch, and takes it through two hands.

    Chris Woakes pulled off a similar one in the 2019 World Cup. Sublime.

    Hopefully we get to see Sophia Dunkley in all her glory if she's still in with five overs to go.

  9. Eng 162-4published at 37 overs

    Sciver 49, Dunkley 9

    Make it 10 overs without a boundary. Scoring does look incredibly difficult for England at the moment.

    There are 10 overs left - we're playing a 47-over game, after rain this morning. 250 looks a long way away.

    I'm going for the look of, when you're commentating at four but going to Ibiza at five.

  11. Eng 159-4published at 36 overs

    Five runs off the over. We haven't had a boundary in the last nine overs. It's not very often you say that during an England innings.

    I don't know if that was a chance. You'd have to be very acrobatic to hang on to that!

    Sciver dropped on 47published at 35 overs

    How costly could this be!?!

    It would have been a great catch from Shikha Pandey, in her follow through, as Nat Sciver defends.

    She stretches out, and gets fingertips to it, but shells it.

    Big moment.

  14. Eng 154-4published at 34.5 overs

    Promising youngster Sophia Dunkley is the new batter. She was brilliant in England's chase in the second ODI - you can watch highlights of that knock below.

    Talking of promising youngsters, GB's Emma Radacanu has just made it into round four at Wimbledon.

    It's the same kind of dismissal as the others - Amy Jones wasn't sweeping like the past two wickets but it was a wicket of frustration, she was reaching for it and England just losing their patience against the spinners.

    Jones c Radha b Sharma 17 (Eng 151-4)

    The pressure has told!

    England have found scoring, particularly boundary scoring, hard to come by at times, and Amy Jones runs out of patience.

    She looks to hit Deepti Sharma over long-on, but it is straight down the throat of sub fielder Radha Yadav.

    It's a soft dismissal.

    England have got some real strikers coming in with Brunt and Dunkley, so I think they need to get a move on here to allow them to play their way.

  18. Charlotte Edwards Trophy updatepublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 3 July 2021

    There's more women's cricket going on today with the Charlotte Edwards Trophy - the domestic T20 competition - in its second round of fixtures.

    Last night Northern Diamonds beat the Sunrisers, and in the two games going on today there's a delayed start at Southern Vipers v Lightning while Central Sparks have slipped for 30-2 against the South East Stars.

    Follow the scores.

  19. Eng 146-3published at 33 overs

    That's six overs without a boundary as Amy Jones and Nat Sciver nudge and nurdle for four singles.

    England look content at the moment, though. They know this isn't an easy wicket to score runs on, so they are happy with manipulating the ball around.

    Double change for India as Shikha Pandey comes back on too.
