    It's been all India.

  2. Eng 29-3

    Smith 7, Jones 7

    Amy Jones is struggling for rhythm a little bit at the moment.

    She looks to sweep away, but gets a top edge on it. Fortunately for her and England it loops over the keeper and away from any fielders.

    She then drives uppishly, over mid-wicket, for a single.

    Deepti Sharma has figures of 1-12 after three overs. That's brilliant.

    Deepti Sharma's bowling: 6% full, 94% good length and 0% short. 3 overs, 0 maidens, went for 12 runs, took 1 wickets with an economy of 4.00.

  3. How's stat?!

    16-3 after three overs is the best start India have made with the ball in a women's T20 international. It's the second-worst start for England.

    India look much more on it tonight.

    Radha Yadav again does brilliantly to get round and keep England down to a couple. She has saved India at least four runs so far.

    Bryony Smith was due to come in at six for England today, but was promoted up to four. She is used to batting at this stage of the innings - she bats at the top of the order for South East Stars and Trent Rockets.

  5. Here is how Sophia Dunkley was out for just five.

    India were really poor in the field in the first match. There's been a huge response. The coaching staff and everybody will be thrilled.

  7. Eng 20-3

    England are going to have to rebuild now.

    Bryony Smith has been joined by stand-in captain Amy Jones. They need a partnership or there is a real chance England might not bat through their overs.

    There are stats flying around that if you lose three wickets in the six-over powerplay that you lose more often than not so England will have to play very well from here to turn it around.

    That was poor from Capsey and Smith, no communication.

    Capsey wanted the third run but Smith was very much standing still. There was a "yes, no, maybe". That's a huge blow for England.

    Oh dear!

    WICKET

    Capsey run out (Kaur) 4 (Eng 16-3)

    A miscommunication and Alice Capsey has been run out.

    There is a brilliant piece of fielding on the boundary by Radha Yadav and her throw is collected in the ring by Harmanpreet Kaur.

    Alice Capsey is looking a third run, but Bryony Smith says no and doesn't budge from the non-striker's end.

    Kaur's throw isn't the best, hitting wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh on the pads, but Capsey is so far down the wicket she has the time to gather and demolish the stumps.

    England are struggling at the moment.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    We've seen Bryony Smith promoted up the order. Another hard-hitter. England have got to rebuild a little here.

    India celebrate a wicketGetty Images

    It's really good bowling and good captaincy as well.

    We spoke about how poor India were in the first T20 but they've started really well today.

    WICKET

    Wyatt c Mandhana b Thakur 6 (Eng 13-2)

    Edged to slip. India are on top.

    Renuka Singh Thakur is finding plenty of swing, with this one coming back into Danni Wyatt.

    The England opener looks to drive away, but a thick edge flies to Smriti Mandhana at first slip.

    The aggressive captaincy by Harmanpreet Kaur pays off.

  14. Eng 13-1

    The new batter is 18-year-old Alice Capsey, who is a name of most people's lips at the moment.

    She gets off the mark second ball, before her and Danni Wyatt exchange three further singles.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    It's a pretty reckless shot from Sophia Dunkley, she's just trying to heave that ball.

  16. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Two

    That is a great bit of work from the keeper.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Dunkley st Ghosh b Sharma 5 (Eng 9-1)

    A change to spin brings about the wicket.

    Are we seeing a weakness in Sophia Dunkley's game? She was out four times to spin in the Commonwealth Games and it is the same tonight.

    She looks to be aggressive and hit right-arm spinner Deepti Sharma over the leg side, but misses with a big heave, and Richa Ghosh gathers and whips off the bails.

    A good start for India.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Two

    Sophia Dunkley just hits in unusual areas. She gives herself room and she's able to clear the ropes.

    The way she has taken on the powerplay has been really impressive.

    She went out a bit hard the other day so hopefully she can pull that back in a little bit because even if she hits the ball at 80% it will be hard enough to go to the boundary.

  19. Tymal Mills
    England pace bowler on BBC Two

    India were pretty poor last match and it was the fielding which was particularly disappointing.

  20. Eng 9-0

    A good start for England.

    Sophia Dunkley picks up the first boundary with a gorgeous flick off her legs. Should the fielder have done better? There was no dive. Hopefully we're not talking about India's fielding today - it was well below par in the first game on Saturday.

    Danni Wyatt then gets up and running with a well-placed guide to the boundary through point. That will give her plenty of confidence.
