  3. Ind 220-6published at 46.3 overs

    INDIA WIN!

    Mithali Raj finds the gap in the covers, and the ball races away to the boundary.

    They win by four wickets, and the series is now 6-4 in England's favour. That sets us up beautifully for the three-match Twenty20 series.

  4. Ind 216-6published at 46.2 overs

    Need 4 from 4 balls

    Jhulan Goswami takes a single into the leg side.

    Perfect for India.

    Two 38-year-old batters and a 37-year-old bowler. These three have seen everything in the game.

    Need 5 from 5 balls

    Mithali Raj takes a single from the first ball.

    India need six to win from the final over.

    Katherine Brunt is going to bowl it.

    Jhulan Goswami has come in. Can the experienced duo of her and Mithali Raj see India home?

    But it was the right thing to do from Rana. She tried to win the game in the penultimate over by getting a boundary and Mithali Raj is on strike for the last over.

    That's a huge moment. England strike just when they needed it!

    Rana b Ecclestone 24 (Ind 214-6)

    Bowled her!

    Sneh Rana tries to attack, over the leg side, but misses and Sophie Ecclestone hits.

    A very good hand from Rana though.

  11. Ind 214-5published at 45.5 overs

    Dot ball.

    Kate Cross has made an error there, she's misjudged that.

  13. Ind 214-5published at 45.4 overs

    Need 6 from 8 balls

    Shot!

    There's a chance of a catch for Kate Cross at long on but it's just out of her reach and the ball bounces just before the rope.

    The game for India?

  14. Ind 210-5published at 45.3 overs

    Need 10 from 9 balls

    A single down to long on.

  15. Ind 209-5published at 45.2 overs

    Need 11 from 10 balls

    Two!

    A lovely shot from Mithali Raj over cover.

  16. Ind 207-5published at 45.1 overs

    Need 13 from 11 balls

    A single to Sneh Rana to start the over.

    The penultimate over is often where a game is won or lost so I'm not surprised to see Ecclestone bowling this one.

    It's a long time since England have been under this kind of pressure.

  19. Ind 206-5published at 45 overs

    Need 14 from 12 balls

    Six singles from the over.

    This next over is key. What can Sophie Ecclestone leave for the final over?

    That should've been a dot ball again there. England look nervous.
