    England need to stop these easy singles. That's all India need to do now - get singles.

    Target 143

    Mandhana moves to 57, cutting Sophie Ecclestone first ball to relieve any potential pressure.

    And she finishes the set in style with another four through a scintillating scoop. India need another 18 from 30 to level the series with one game left to play.

    It went to her pretty quickly, burst through her hands and hit her in the chest.

    Was that England's final chance?

    Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur slogs Sarah Glenn to the leg-side boundary but Danni Wyatt lets it go through her hands!

    Smriti Mandhana averages more than 40 in this format against England, and her T20 record is best against England and Australia. She really does turn it on against the top two in the world.

    for Mandhanapublished at 12.4 overs

    India 105-2

    A wonderful knock. A simple single through the covers brings up Smriti Mandhana's 17th international half-century.

    She has cruised to her total, never looking in trouble.

  16. Ind 100-2published at 12.3 overs

    Target 143

    A quick single from Mandhana off Sarah Glenn brings up India's hundred from 75 balls. She also moves to 49.

  17. Ind 99-2published at 12 overs

    Target 143

    Sloppy from England. Sophie Ecclestone misfields allowing India to get through for a cheap single.

    Bowler Lauren Bell isn't happy. But she's smart with her next ball, returning with a dot through a slower delivery.

    Mandhana doesn't wait for the ball to be in the slot, she can hit through the length, partly because she's taller than some of her team-mates.

  19. Ind 96-2published at 11 overs

    Target 143

    A relatively quiet over with no boundaries from it.

    But India don't need the big shots now. Rotate the strike and see it home.
