  1. Ind 47-0published at 4 overs

    Oh, my! MAKE IT FIVE IN A ROW!

    Shafali Verma is here to entertain.

    Katherine Brunt bangs it in shorter, and Verma has to reach for it, above her head, but she has the power to smash it over mid-wicket again.

    That's 21 from the over.

  2. Ind 43-0published at 3.5 overs

    Four in a row!

    Shafali Verma didn't quite time this one, but it's heaved between mid-on and mid-wicket for four more.

    Wow, wow, wow. What a cricket shot that was. This girl is so good at cricket.

  4. Ind 39-0published at 3.4 overs

    Three fours in a row!

    Shafali Verma stands still, and guides through backward point for four more.

    The India fans are dancing.

    Verma didn't even middle that, it shows how hard she strikes the ball.

  6. Ind 35-0published at 3.3 overs

    Four more! Heaved back down the ground by Shafali Verma this time.

    Welcome to the party, Shafali.

  7. Ind 31-0published at 3.2 overs

    Wowee! Stand and deliver cricket from Shafali Verma.

    It's banged in from Katherine Brunt and Verma just muscles it to the mid-wicket boundary.

    Brutal.

    Katherine Brunt is going to continue.

  9. Ind 26-0published at 3 overs

    Decent comeback from Sophie Ecclestone, with just a wide from the remaining three balls.

    That's 11 off the over again though. India are off to a flier.

    She didn't quite get hold of the first one but this one she absolutely muscled it over mid-wicket.

  11. 6 runs

    Ind 25-0published at 2.3 overs

    Six this time!

    Same shot, but it brings Shafali Verma even more this time.

    This is the number one batter in the world v the number one bowler in the world. This is the elite.

    It wasn't far over the head of Nat Sciver at mid-wicket but Verma is freeing her hands for the first time in her innings.

  13. Ind 19-0published at 2.1 overs

    Shafali Verma greets her with a slog sweep over mid-wicket for four.

    This could be entertaining.

  14. Postpublished at 14:38 British Summer Time 11 July 2021

    The left arm spin of Sophie Ecclestone is into the attack.

    There seems to be a really clear plan here from India - use the pace of the ball and let the outfield do the work.

  16. Ind 15-0published at 2 overs

    A single into square leg sees Shafali Verma keep the strike.

    That's 11 from Katherine Brunt's first over.

  17. Ind 14-0published at 1.5 overs

    Nice! Shafali Verma stands still - something she hasn't done in recent games - and guides Katherine Brunt to the third boundary.

    It was a little bit loose and Smriti Mandhana has a smile on her face.

  19. Ind 9-0published at 1.3 overs

    First boundary for India, and it is trademark steer from Smriti Mandhana to the third boundary.

    I would say that Katherine Brunt has taken the dominance in the battle against Shafali Verma over the past couple of matches.
