  2. IndW 305-8

    Lead by 140

    There might even be time for Sneh Rana to reach three figures. She rocks back and cuts for four off the bowling of Sophie Ecclestone, who will be bowling in her sleep tonight. Rana has 72.

  4. IndW 296-8

    Lead by 131

    I'm starting to think that the most likely outcome is hands shaken at the beginning of the final hour.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Oh my word. That ball has bounced down about three inches in front of the stumps then gone up and over the stumps.

  6. dropped catch

    Close!

    IndW 293-8

    It's just not happening for England. Bhatia chops at Ecclestone, it takes an under-edge, but instead of hitting the stumps, it bounces over.

    When it's not your day...

  7. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    These two came together at 90.2 overs. Fifteen overs ago.

  8. IndW 292-8

    Lead by 127

    Taniya Bhatia, so tentative at the beginning of her innings, is now looking assured. Heather Knight is on with her off-breaks. Bhatia unfurls a glorious cover drive. I think we can safely say India are going to save this match.

    28 overs remain, effectively 26. A draw can be agreed when there's 17 to go.

    The logic might be to get two spin bowlers on to get as many overs in as you can before the weather comes in.

  11. IndW 286-8

    Lead by 121

    It feels like we haven't seen much of Anya Shrubsole and Kate Cross this afternoon. Would England have been better served by a second frontline spinner?

  12. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Hampshire Bowl

    It's spitting with rain now and on come the covers. The big sheets are being unfurled for the first time today too. People are starting to drift away.

  13. IndW 285-8

    Lead by 120

    Runs coming quickly now, as Rana cuts Sciver for four. It feels like the light is closing in too.

  15. IndW 280-8

    Lead by 115

    Sophie Ecclestone looks out on her feet. England are asking their premier spinner to conjure something, but she's spent. For the first time in this match, control has begun to elude her.

  16. Isabelle Westbury
    Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Once England realised the prospect of victory was in sight, it's possible the nerves kicked in and the zone and flow was rustled.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Sneh Rana

    Well played, Sneh Rana. Like Deepti Sharma before her, she is digging in to ensure India do not lose this Test. 91 balls for her maiden half-century. Dogged, determined stuff.

    Rana

  18. IndW 274-8

    Lead 109

    England's other issue is the light. Nat Sciver stomps in with the floodlights casting her shadow in four directions. If they lose any time in Bristol, I fear England's chances of victory are toast. Sneh Rana is on 49...

  19. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at the Hampshire Bowl

    The floodlights are gleaming. The lighting of the TV broadcaster's set shines bright. The groundstaff are lurking near the covers. I'm not hopeful.

  20. Meanwhile, in Southampton...
