    Has Mithali Raj timed this to perfection? We all doubted her. Here's the India captain bringing up her 50.

    Rookie error!

    Oh, Sophie Ecclestone. It's only one run but she's given India one for free.

  6. Ind 200-5published at 44 overs

    Need 20 from 18 balls

    Pressure, pressure, pressure.

    Sarah Glenn unnecessarily throws the ball at the non-striker's end, and Nat Sciver can't gather at the stumps. Sophie Ecclestone gets there at mid-off, but the ball goes through her hands, and India steal an overthrow.

    Sloppy from the hosts.

    India are getting closer and closer. Great, enterprising batting from Sneh Rana.

  8. Ind 198-5published at 43.4 overs

    Four more! This was the over that India needed.

    Sneh Rana advances to Nat Sciver and crunches her back down the ground.

    India should cruise home needing just 22 from 20 balls.

  9. Ind 194-5published at 43.2 overs

    Shot!

    Mithali Raj drives over cover for four more.

    That'll drag the required run-rate down.

    It's nice to have a close game, there have been some pretty one-sided games for England's men and women this summer with the white ball.

    A couple of overs ago most of you fancied England.

    I wonder if that's still the case now.

  12. Ind 190-5published at 43 overs

    Need 32 from 24 balls

    Six runs from Sophie Ecclestone's over.

    Two bowlers are allowed to bowl 10 overs if Heather Knight wishes. Ecclestone will be one of them, I think.

    India seem happy to milk here.

    The required run-rate hits eight an over.

    Sarah Glenn wasn't sure then whether to go for the catch or stop the boundary, she went for the catch and unfortunately it's cost England four runs.

  17. Ind 182-5published at 42 overs

    Need 38 from 30 balls

    Four to end the over!

    Sneh Rana again flicks round the corner, and Sarah Glenn, again at fine leg, dives forward to try and take the catch, but the ball goes through her and runs away for four.

    Should Glenn have just tried to stop the boundary?

    They're not easy, those stops at short fine leg when it's coming quickly. They usually go for four when I'm fielding there.

  19. Ind 177-5published at 41.3 overs

    Need 43 from 33 balls

    Sarah Glenn! Superb!

    Sneh Rana flicks round the corner, and Glenn, at fine leg, brilliantly dives across to keep them down to one.

    That is three runs saved.
