  1. Ind 140-4

    A single to Deepti Sharma to start.

  2. Sophie Ecclestone is going to bowl the final over.

  3. Ind 139-4

    Decent comeback from Freya Davies with just three singles ending the over.

    Still, though, that's 14 off the over.

    The average score is 123 in women's internationals here. This seems a very good pitch, though.

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

    Danni Wyatt put in an effort but it was just an effort for the cameras, it was always going to be four.

  5. Ind 136-4

    Four more!

    Deepti Sharma doesn't catch this cleanly at all, it comes off the top of the bat, but she picks up a boundary through square leg.

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

    That's not what England needed at all. Davies just got her line wrong and is frustrated with herself.

  7. Ind 132-4

    Five wides for India.

    They'll take them however they come at the moment.

  8. Sneh Rana is the new batter by the way.

    We still haven't seen Harleen Deol, who was carded to come in at three.

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

    India need to try and get Sharma to face as many balls as she can.

  10. Freya Davies is going to bowl the penultimate over.

    Her first three have gone for just 17.

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

    Fantastic catch from Sciver. She wasn't really looking, just getting her head out of the way.

    WICKET

    Ghosh c & b Sciver 8 (Ind 125-4)

    Nat Sciver really deserves this.

    Richa Ghosh tries to drive back down the ground, and Sciver just sticks her hands up, around head height, and the ball goes in.

    England keep picking up regular wickets.

  13. Ind 124-3

    Ebony is sat there laughing now. She knows she is being laughed at by her Sky and TMS colleagues. Her hands were flapping around, in horror.

    Richa Ghosh is almost out next ball, as a leading edge again loops up but Sophia Dunkley can't quite get there in the covers.

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

    That went all the way to the Sky Sports pod. Ebony Rainford-Brent was there and she didn't even go for it. Come on, Ebs, you used to be a cricketer.

  15. 6 runs

    Ind 123-3

    Richa Ghosh, hello! She's only 17, but she's absolutely crunched Nat Sciver for six over mid-wicket.

    Ebony Rainford-Brent looked terrified of the ball, sat there waiting for her next TV stint.

  16. Here's how Mady Villiers got the big wicket of Shafali Verma.

  17. Ind 116-3

    Superb from Sophie Ecclestone. Just two runs from the over.

    India need to go here. England got 177 with a middle-order collapse the other night. This isn't going to be enough.

  18. It's a Lancashire thing. We've seen Saqib Mahmood do that superbly for the men's team in the last few days.

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

    Sophie Ecclestone knows her game so well. She's still so young at 22 but the best bowler in the world is telling her fielders where to go.

  20. Sophie Ecclestone is back on.

    She still has two overs left. They'll be important.
