    That was the first boundary since the 18th over.

    Bowling short to Davidson-Richard isn't the best ploy. She's very strong off the back foot.

  3. Eng 111-5published at 30 overs

    Shot. Powerful strokes have been few and far between but here Alice Davidson-Richards cracks seamer Maghna off the back to the mid-wicket fence.

    She's got a big teethy grin on her face as the ball reaches the rope.

    Are the struggles England have had because of the pitch? It just hasn't quite happened for them...

    Even as a bowler, I don't really like seeing how low that ball kept to dismiss Amy Jones so early in an ODI.

    Wyatt 27, Davidson-Richards 2

    The good news for England is, without playing many big shots, Danni Wyatt has looked good.

    She has 27 from 35 balls.

  7. Eng 99-5published at 28 overs

    Alice Davidson-Richards, who scored a Test century earlier this year of course, is out in the middle for England. She can certainly bat but would not have wanted to be in this early and with the score below 100.

    Worrying times for England now.

    WICKETpublished at 27 overs

    Jones b Gayakwad 3 (Eng 94-5)

    England are in the mire.

    Amy Jones has got a ball from spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad that has hardly bounced at all. She tries a pull but is bowled via a flick off the boot.

    The England skipper looks disgusted and is looking to the big screens for a replay of her misfortune as she walks off.

  10. Eng 93-4published at 26 overs

    Sophie Ecclestone, one of those all-rounders who are left to come is calmly watching on with her feet up on the advertising boards.

    There's a punch of gloves between experienced duo Wyatt and Jones at the end of another quiet over.

    This is a big innings for Amy Jones. She is under pressure in this format. She will know that.

    Thanks Callum. This game, so far, has not done a lot to quieten uncertainties about 50-over cricket status in the future. Runs have been a struggle.

    What is certain is England need a partnership.

  13. Eng 91-4published at 25 overs

    Stand-in captain Amy Jones is the new batter. She works her first two balls for singles, but she is another that needs a score.

    She has only got two half-centuries in her last 14 innings and that has dragged her average down to 25.

    At the half way point India are in control. Matt Henry will take you through the second half of the innings.

    Dunkley was far too early on the shot. You felt like it was coming. Dunkley had been frustrated and had not had much of the strike in the last 15 minutes or so.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 24.3 overs

    Dunkley c Sharma b Doel 29 (Eng 88-4)

    England are in trouble.

    Has Harleen Doel confused Sophia Dunkley here? Maybe.

    She starts with two loopy leg-spinners before going to the off-spinner to get the wicket. Dunkley looks to drive away but doesn't time it properly and hits it straight to Deepti Sharma at cover.

    I said it earlier but England really need a partnership now.

  16. Eng 87-3published at 24 overs

    Dunkley 29, Wyatt 16

    With India on top captain Harmanpreeet Kaur decides to turn back to premier pace bowler Jhulan Goswami. Another wicket now would really hammer home their advantage.

    Nothing forthcoming in this over though with England respectfully working her around for three singles.

    Here's how Alice Capsey was dismissed for 19.

    It was a very good grab by Harmanpreet Kaur.

  18. Eng 84-3published at 23 overs

    Another bowling change from India as Harleen Deol comes into the attack.

    She can bowl leg-spin and off-spin based on this first over. Her first delivery spins a mile, with Danni Wyatt ending up playing it off the cut strip.

    There's a little bit of confusion between Sophia Dunkley and Wyatt, who play together for Southern Brave so should be used to communicating, but Dunkley gets back at the non-striker's end. It was a good direct hit from Yastika Bhatia though.

  19. Eng 79-3published at 22 overs

    Dunkley 26, Wyatt 11

    Five runs come from Rajeshwari Gayakwad's fifth over.

    She's gone for just 17 runs so far.

  20. Not outpublished at 21.3 overs

    Eng 75-3

    A good review.

    The ball flicks off Sophia Dunkley's glove before it hits her leg, as she was looking to sweep away.

    That is two reprieves Dunkley has had now.
