  2. Eng 142-3

    Sciver 41, Jones 14

    Just two singles from the over.

    There are 15 left. I would expect England to start attacking pretty shortly.

    These are the important conversations of the day. Not Nat Sciver's batting or what total England should set here. It's all about which biscuits are best for dunking.

  4. A change after the drinks break as Deepti Sharma, who is wicketless in this ODI series, replaces Poonam Yadav.

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

    I like the ginger ones.

  6. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    What is your biscuit of choice when it comes to dunking?

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

    I haven't dunked a biscuit in my tea for such a long time.

  8. Eng 140-3

    If you look up at the definition of "milking a bowler" it would say "31st over - England v Poonam Yadav at New Road, Worcester on 3 July, 2021". Six singles off the over.

    It's time for a drink.

  9. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Test Match Special

    You feel if this game does get close, there's enough energy in the crowd to make this exciting.

  10. Eng 134-3

    Just three more singles to England. India are putting the squeeze on here.

    At what point will England just tee off? There are 17 overs remaining.

  11. Amy Lofthouse

    This is the saddest thing I've ever seen.

  12. Eng 131-3

    Poonam Yadav is back into the attack, and England milk for her for four singles.

    There's a little bit of sun, in between all the clouds, at New Road.

  13. In case you're just tuning in for the first time today, here are the three England wickets to fall so far.

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

    England need to accelerate from here, to be scoring at 5 an over instead of 4-4.5.

  15. Eng 127-3

    Good first over back from Jhulan Goswami with just a couple of singles confused.

    This is a 47-over game due to some rain this morning, so England have 19 overs left to put a total on the board.

  16. India know that a breakthrough here would put them on top.

    As such Jhulan Goswami returns.

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

    She's also a very difficult person to get out when she gets going. In the first two games of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy this summer, she hit back to back hundreds.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Amy Jones is a very elegant player when she gets going. We've not seen her in great form yet this international season.

  19. Eng 125-3

    Another boundary to end the over.

    It's not the most elegant or cultured shot from Nat Sciver, but she punishes the drag down from Harmanpreet Kaur, with a drag through square.

  20. Eng 120-3

    Amy Jones is off the mark with a boundary.

    She's not necessarily got her feet in the best position to play the shot, but some fantastic hand speed allows her to thread through point.
