    England are mildly interested, no-one really knows.

  2. Umpire reviewpublished at 33.1 overs

    India change their mind over a quick single and Richa Ghosh is forced to dive back into her crease - but did she get back in time? It was a direct hit.

    Upstairs we go...

    Skipper Heather Knight is bringing herself into the attack.

    Pooja Vastrakar survived one lbw shout after sending it upstairs, but there was no doubt two deliveries later.

    It was plumb lbw from Charlie Dean as she claimed her third wicket.

    120-7 is obviously a fantastic position to be in but England will be greedy and they won't want India getting up to 200.

    Ooh, more frustration for Kate Cross.

    It's an edge from Richa Ghosh but there's no slip in place and it goes down fine for four.

    A rare costly over from England. Do they change things up?

    They have the drinks break to decide a plan of action.

    Goswami clears the front leg and she's given it the long handle, over long-off for six and onto the grass bank.

    Hello!

    That's enormous from Jhulan Goswami as she smashes the ball over long-off for six.

    Kate Cross has a rueful smile on her face.

    She's given it the Sydney Harbour Bridge there, Anya Shrubsole, and it's cost Charlie Dean a boundary.

  10. Ind 108-7published at 31 overs

    Not much footwork from Jhulan Goswami, but it is effective. She smacks the ball down the ground and is fizzes beyond the despairing dive of Anya Shrubsole.

    A rare boundary off the bowling of Charlie Dean.

    Amy Jones has been excellent today too, after a difficult tournament so far.

    Did we say Charlie Dean has bowled brilliantly?

    Here's the evidence, removing Harmanpreet Kaur and Sneh Rana in the space of three balls.

  13. Ind 103-7published at 30 overs

    Charlie Dean is quick, but not that quick. Richa Ghosh powers the ball over mid-off and Dean chases it all the way down to the boundary, but can't prevent the ball going over the rope.

    The 100 is up for India, but they have plenty of work to do if they want to get up to a competitive total.

    England look a stronger side with two frontline spinners in their XI.

    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    England have caught well but have also been really good with their ground fielding. They've put their bodies on the line and timed their dives well to stop anything getting past them.

  16. Ind 98-7published at 29 overs

    Charlie Dean is on the money again, just two singles off the 29th over.

    We have a change at the other end. Kate Cross is coming into the attack.

    Ecclestone will probably feel her spell deserves more than the one wickets she's got.

    Sophie Ecclestone's bowling: 23% full, 75% good length and 2% short. 8 overs, 1 maidens, went for 24 runs, took 1 wickets with an economy of 3.00.
  18. Ind 96-7published at 28 overs

    More tight bowling from Sophie Ecclestone, just the two off it.

    These two England spinners are doing an excellent job of maintaining the pressure on these India batters, who are struggling to get them away.

  20. Ind 94-7published at 27 overs

    'Go on Deano' is the shout from behind the stumps - and she responds.

    It's more brilliant bowling from Charlie Dean, mixing up her lengths to keep Richa Ghosh guessing.

    Just the single off it. Dean is 3-15 from her six overs so far.
