    Heather Knight twirls away, with Taniya Bhatia prodding forward in defence. In theory, we could have only one over left in this match. I wonder if Mithali Raj might want to keep England in the field a little longer?

    Umpires Gough and Illingworth are stood in the middle, not doing a lot. It feels like we've been waiting for some rain that has never arrived. Most people have gone home.

    Kate Cross takes her cap, still with a smile on her face. On we go.

    Can India declare after this over, knowing the two for change of innings would take us to the final hour? Not sure.

    We're about to find out...

    I know people will look at it and think this is just another drawn women's Test. But it's not. It's had thrills, momentum changes, remarkable innings and brilliant bowling. It's been fascinating.

    Twenty overs to go in Bristol. England look like they want this done.

    Yeah, but has Michael Gough got his light meter?

    It looked like it was going down but if you don't ask you don't get.

    Kate Cross, lesser-spotted, is back into the attack. She asks the question against Rana, but that's heading well down the leg side.

    This is another Test that has been four days and another which has ended in a draw. If Tests were five days we'd see more results.

    Dark in Bristol now. Each player casting four shadows. I'm not sure we'd be playing if it wasn't for the floodlights.

    22 overs remain. I reckon we might only have five of them. That could even be down to three if India declare.

    This has been a terrific effort from India. At various times they've looked dead and buried.

    Now Taniya Bhatia is in on the act, slashing Ecclestone to the square boundary. When Ecclestone drops short, Bhatia pulls for four.

    The overs are still on at Southampton and the umpires are indoors but the forecast heavy rain is yet to arrive. We could be playing if cricket wasn't so fussy about bad light.

    They're taking drinks in Bristol. Meanwhile, in Southampton...

    England have upped their sledging. Someone just said "she wants a hundred here girls."

  18. IndW 309-8published at 17:27 British Summer Time 19 June 2021

    Lead by 144

    I can't remember a time when England weren't fielding. 24 overs to go. Maybe only seven until a draw is agreed.

    If Mithali Raj came out and declared now, I'd have no more admiration for any other cricketer ever again. I'd love it.

    Lead by 144

    Judging by the shots she is playing, Rana thnks this one is saved. She aims a big swipe at Knight, misses, and the ball skips away for four byes.
