    Lauren Winfield-Hill has 29 from 41 balls but she has played with some aggression when circumstances allowed.

    It still looks quite tricky out there. Heather Knight is struggling, at 16 off 31 balls, she's not playing like her usual self.

    Heather Knight brings up England's fifty with a single. It hasn't been a blistering start from England but it's been steady - the conditions and India's spinners the past few overs haven't let them play as explosively as they might usually.

    England are just being tied down a little bit here.

    It would have been a fantastic catch, it was a full-length dive.

    It's classed as a drop, but it's not a drop.

  6. Eng 48-1published at 12 overs

    Was that a chance? It's hard to see if slip gets a hand to it, but Winfield-Hill cuts the ball off the back foot and it evades a diving effort. It would be very, very harsh to call that a dropped catch.

    The petite Poonam Yadav comes on, sporting some pretty snazzy spikes that look pink and white from here - either way they stand out a lot against the navy kit.

    She loops up a few as usual and the final ball is 37mph. She must be so frustrating to face.

  9. Eng 42-1published at 10 overs

    Winfield-Hill 22, Knight 6

    Deepti flights a few deliveries but Knight isn't tempted. Just the two from the over.

    It has been a half decent nine overs, it has been a well-fought battle.

    England have just got through that tricky passage of play.

  11. Eng 42-1published at 9.3 overs

    Deepti Sharma comes into the attack early after the powerplay - which was nine overs because of this game now being 47 overs a side thanks to rain.

    Heather Knight gets an edge past slip that just pulls up before the boundary thanks to the slow outfield caused by the weather.

    I don't know why you'd want to do that.

    I'd lose count.

    There is a guy below us in a maroon shirt, he is scoring every ball. He's got different coloured pens.

    It is the most therapeutic way of spending a day.

  14. Eng 40-1published at 9 overs

    Jhulan Goswami bowls with so much aggression and yet she throws one back at Knight, who was wandering a little from her crease, so gently that it bounces twice and just tickles her on the leg.

    She's just great, isn't she?!

  15. Eng 39-1published at 8.3 overs

    England are finding their groove now and India just losing their disciplines a little. Goswami strays onto Knight's pads for an effortless clip for four.

    Just the one wicket to fall so far but it was a big one - Tammy Beaumont gone without scoring.

    Shihka Pandey has just missed her line and length a little bit, and there is zero swing there for her. Maybe with the sun coming out the swing has gone.

    Another four goes straight past mid on and that's a very profitable over for England. It looks as if Pandey has lost the swing she had in the first few overs.

    That is four, though. No saving that one. Winfield-Hill crashes a full ball past cover - and then it's almost as if the next ball and shot have been copy and pasted for another boundary.

    That is glorious from Heather Knight.

    Again Knight and Lauren Winfield-Hill are timing it beautifully, the frustration so far will be India's fielders.
