  1. Ind 145-4

    A little pressure reliever as Katherine Brunt's line strays, and Mithal Raj is able to flick her fine for four.

  2. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    We've only had one four in the last 12 overs.

    It's a similar equation to the World Cup final where it looked comfortable for India on paper but it proved not to be. And I don't think India have moved on too much from that time.

  4. Ind 141-4

    Need 79 from 66 balls

    Mithali Raj has to be there at the end if India are going to win this game. She's the anchor. Can she be the matchwinner?

    She has to be. She can't use 59 balls, and score at a strike-rate in the low 60s, if her side are failing in chases.

    As a guide, India are eight runs behind the DLS score at the moment.

  5. Sarah Glenn replaces Heather Knight.

    She got the wicket of Smriti Mandhana earlier.

  6. Isabelle Westbury

    Seven an over for the rest of this India line-up is a big ask.

  7. Ind 135-4

    Need 85 from 72 balls

    Just three singles from the over.

    Again the run rate sneaks up. It's up at 7.08 now.

    England are so good in these situations. They love putting the squeeze on.

  8. Katherine Brunt is back on.

  9. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Test Match Special

    She was trying to release the pressure, it was getting to her. You could argue that she shouldn't have even been on strike because any other batter than Mithali Raj would've run two off the ball before.

  10. Ind 132-4

    Need 88 from 78 balls

    That was Heather Knight's 50th ODI wicket too.

    The required run-rate sneaks up to 6.76.

  11. Isabelle Westbury

    If I was Harmanpreet I would be fuming.

  12. Harmanpreet Kaur and India should have reviewed that.

    It hit her outside the line of off stump.

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

    I think Kaur wanted to review but Mithali Raj says don't you dare!

  14. Stephan Shemilt

    And the pressure tells!

    WICKET

    Harmanpreet lbw b Knight 16 (Ind 131-4)

    Harmanpreet Kaur gets herself set up early for the reverse sweep but misses and she's given out lbw by Nigel Lllong.

    It looked like it hit her outside the line though, it'l be interesting to see that again.

    Harmanpreet tries to speak to Mithali Raj but the India skipper has already walked away, and turned her back on her.

  16. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Test Match Special

    A couple of tight overs and the pressure is right back on India.

  17. Ind 130-3

    Need 90 from 84 balls

    Just two from Sophie Ecclestone's over. That's just five from the last two overs.

    The required run-rate pushes up to 6.42.

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

    For the first time in this innings the required run rate has just tipped over six.

  19. Ind 128-3

    Need 92 from 90 balls

    There has been a lot of chat about strike-rates in this series.

    Mithali Raj is currently 30 off 53 balls, so striking at 56.60, and Harmanpreet Kaur is 15 off 32 balls so striking at 46.87.

    The required run-rate is up at 6.13. One of these two are going to have to start attacking soon.

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

    India seem to be playing with much more intent and ambition, trying to rotate the strike.
