England's ground fielding has been energic. Their real test will be when they have a catch to take.

Smriti Mandhana is timing the ball very nicely. After pulling the first ball of Brunt's over behind square for her second boundary of the innings, she drills a pair of drives into the covers but can't beat the in-field.

A pair of singles complete the scoring for the over. The second of which gets Mithali off the mark, there was a bit of excitement from the England fielders who thought there was a run-out chance but Mandhana was comfortably home.

Not far away from two in two balls for Shrubsole as she goes past Mithali Raj's outside edge with a delivery that comes back a fair way.

More swing last ball and the India skipper gets an inside edge onto her pads as she prods forward to defend.

England deserve that. They have bowled excellent lengths this veteran new-ball pair.

They have held their length and looked for the ball for swing. Yes, India have played a few nice shots and found the middle of the bat, but they have always been challenged. And Yastika looking for the big drive gets the inside edge onto the top of middle.

Glorious from Smriti Mandhana. Slightly too full from Shrubsole and the India opener drives it beautifully through the covers for four.

That was really nicely timed from Yastika. She just nudges it into the on side.

Too wide for Ecclestone, maybe Sciver has gone over it. Katherine Brunt just asks 'how?'

A first boundary of the day as Yastika Bhatia works the ball leg-side. It looked like little more than a flick but the timing and placement are perfect. Between mid-wicket and mid-on for four.

Mandhana keeps strike with a single past backward point from the last. Decent start for Shrubsole, three from her first over and, like Brunt, finding plenty of early swing.

Definite shape back into the left-handers from Katherine Brunt.

She is bowling a better length than what she has bowled, certainly against South Africa and for pretty much the majority of the tournament.

Lovely shot from Mandhana. Anya Shrubsole swings it away from her but the left-hander is forward well and drives crisply through the covers.

Kate Cross pulls it back just before the rope and some less than impressive running means India get just two.

Good start from Brunt. There is a bit of swing on offer which will encourage England.

After that leg bye first ball, Yastika Bhatia punches the ball through the covers for a couple. Nicely played.

Eventually, we do get underway and it's an eventful start. Katherine Brunt swings the ball back into Smriti Mandhana's pads, the ball trickles into the legside and after some hesitation, they go for the quick single.

It was tight and a direct hit would have done for Mandhana.

Well, we were ready for the off. There is a delay as one of the players was a little ill before play began and so they are just clearing that up. Lovely.

Both teams take the knee and now we're ready for the off. As Mark says, it's now or never for England.

Mark: Good luck ladies, it's now or never.

England came out to 'London Calling'. I wonder if that's a sign...

Heather Knight gets the England team together in a huddle, one last chance to get the key messages across ahead of a crucial match.

Yes, South Africa beat England bowling first the other night and England do like to bowl first. But we know, in this competition, the majority of games have been won by the team batting first, putting a big score on the board and putting pressure on the team chasing.

It is a fresh wicket, which means it will be a good wicket and yes the ball will come on nicely under the lights. But I just think if you want to get that first win you want to be batting first.
