  1. IndW 339-8

    Lead by 174

    Heather Knight has gone towards the India bench and held her hands out as if to say "what is going on?". This ninth-wicket partnership now stands at 100.

  3. IndW 338-8

    Lead by 173

    It's officially been called off for the day in the WTC final. Southampton and the weather hasn't been the best combination recently, has it?

    What the umpires could do right now is take them off for bad light.

  5. IndW 337-8

    Lead by 172

    The umpires are getting together to talk about the light, but play is continuing. Heather Knight is waving fielders towards the boundary. After four days of fierce competition, this is all a bit strange.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Now England have put all their fielders on the boundary so Rana can't get a boundary. It's become acrimonious. Now England players are doing their shoe laces, it's all becoming a bit tit-for-tat.

  7. IndW 333-8

    Lead by 168

    England have put all of the fielders on the boundary for Rana, in case the reason India are staying out there is to see her to a century.

    I think there's a bit of needle out there.

  8. IndW 327-8

    Lead by 162

    This might be at risk of slipping into farce. A sub has tried to run drinks on to the India batters, only for the umpires to shoo them off because no disruptions are allowed in the final hour.

  9. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's been a brilliant Test, it's had everything. Unless it's for Rana to get to a hundred otherwise it's daft.

  10. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    The India players are all out there but I don't think Mithali Raj is there so they don't know what to do.

  11. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    This is now silly, this is officially silly. England can't win and India can't win.

  12. IndW 326-8

    Lead by 161

    I'm starting to wonder why this match is continuing...

    Highlights

  14. IndW 326-8

    Lead by 161

    If the umpires are feeling humane, they could take the players off for bad light.

    15 overs remain.

  15. WTC final - the best bits

    After New Zealand won the toss and put India into bat, it has been a stop-start day at the World Test Championship final in Southampton.

    Frustrating for fans of cricket, but plenty still happened in the 64.4 overs we saw...

  16. IndW 325-8

    Lead by 160

    On TMS, Alex Hartley has just asked if the shipping forecast is to alert boats of congestion on the seas. It's fair to say the action is meandering.

  17. IndW 323-8

    Lead by 156

    Umpire Sue Redfern has tapped her watch to signal the last hour. A draw can be agreed any time from now. We continue, though. Georgia Elwiss is on to bowl the first of the 17 overs that remain.

  18. IndW 323-8

    Lead by 156

    It sounds like we're done for the day in Southampton. Are we about to call it off in Bristol?

    The groundstaff are rolling out more covers. That will be it.

  20. IndW 321-8

    Lead by 156

    Kate Cross, number 16 on her back, charges in. All eyes on the captains.
