Kal Sajad and Callum Matthews

  1. Eng 135-7

    Eng need 14 runs in 6 balls.

    Villiers launches it down the wicket and it bounces once before reaching the fielder at mid-on.

  2. Eng 134-7

    Eng need 15 from 8 balls

    Maddy Villiers is the new batter in and it's another dot ball for Yadav.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Brunt c Ghosh b P Yadav 5 (Eng 134-7)

    Another one falls for England!

    Brunt stays back in her crease and nicks it! Ghosh with the catch behind the stumps.

  4. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    My money, I hate to say, is with India now.

  5. Eng 133-6

    Eng need 15 from 10 balls

    Just short of the fielder at mid-on, another single to England.

  6. Eng 132-6

    Eng need 17 from 11

    Brunt is moving all over her crease before steadying herself and pushing into the off side for a single.

  7. dropped catch

    Ecclestone dropped on 2

    England need 18 from 12 balls

    Ecclestone smashes it back towards the bowler and Deepti Sharma can't hold on. The consolation? She definitely stopped a four.

  8. Eng 128-6

    Dot ball followed by a Sophie Ecclestone single.

    England need a boundary.

  9. Emily Windsor
    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    Katherine Brunt needs to be there at the end to see England over the line.

  10. Eng 126-6

    Eng need 23 from 17 balls

    Brunt sweeps a full delivery from Deepti Sharma, India appeal and England run through a single. I think there was bat involved and India opt not to review.

  11. Eng 125-6

    Sophie Ecclestone is the new batter in. England need 24 from three overs. Don't go anywhere.

  12. Emily Windsor
    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    India have got a wall of points and two square legs in the field - it's a field I have never seen before.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Jones c Rana b P Yadab 11 (Eng 125-6)

    England are falling apart!

    Amy Jones shuffles over to her off side and pulls the ball straight to Sneh Rana at square leg. India set up the trap and Jones fell in.

  14. Eng 124-5

    I tell you what, India's fielding has been exceptional in these last two matches.

    Catches win matches and good fielding stops the flow of the runs. Brunt plays a wild swing and a miss to Poonam Yadav - the pressure piling up here on England?

  15. Eng 122-5

    This game has come alive! England need 27 from 24 balls - it could go to the wire.

    Katherine Brunt joins Amy Jones in the middle.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is an area of the game where Sophia Dunkley can improve - she's rapid between the wickets but doesn't realise her team-mates aren't as quick.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Dunkley run out 4 (Eng 120-5)

    Jones pushed it to deep mid-wicket, Dunkley was too keen on taking the second run but hesitated ever so slightly and, despite a despairing dive, is well short of her wicket.

  18. Emily Windsor
    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't think they needed to go for the second at this stage. Jones didn't want it but Dunkley was insistent.

  19. Umpire review

    Eng 120-4

    And here is that one more wicket Emily speaks of. Dunkley is run out. We're going upstairs but she's gone.

  20. Emily Windsor
    Southern Vipers player on BBC Test Match Special

    I sense this isn't going to be as easy for England as we thought, especially if India pick up one more wicket...
